A: The life of a Fashion Designer is a captivating blend of creativity, passion, and dedication, intertwined with the realities of a highly competitive and ever-evolving industry. Fashion designers are the architects of style, responsible for conceptualizing, designing, and bringing to life the clothing and accessories that define our sartorial landscape. 

A: Fashion Designing and Fashion Modelling can be said that without each other they are not complete, both of the careers need skills that are different because to be a fashion designer you should be creative, more familiar with the skills in seeing or drawing, feed with clothes, pattern, a colour so you can miss match them and create masterpieces.
But to be a fashion model you have the skills to carry what are you wearing with sophistication, look good in any design, skills on walking on ramps, makeup, and confidence.
You can be both but what you want to do is on you because juggling between two can be tiresome, you can choose to do one after one if you like but if you want to just choose one then choose based on skills you have.
