After being ranked 8th in the world and having a known name in the sporting industry, he was easily contacted and hired for designing sports/surfing magazines and advertisements. In the interview conducted by Designboom, Carson stated that he had no real formal training in the design world, resulting in a lack of knowledge in basic design content (i.e. grids, formulas, schools of thought, etc.) (Designboom, 2014). But, with his early interest and education in sociology, and his Bachelor of Arts degree, he is easily able to work with real stories, real people, events, and music. When Carson is given the brief article that he must design around, or the client’s idea pitch, he just designs what he feels is right (Designboom, 2014). The more pieces he creates, the more experimental he gets. This act of fearlessness and adventuresome is what makes him such a desirable designer. Clients are confident that he will produce something unique, beautiful, and daring. Carson stated that his strongest skill is his “ability to speak visually and emotionally to a wide variety of audiences and topics” (Designboom, 2014). Carson has been in the design industry for many years and has worked with many varied clients, making his knowledge and level of creativity mastered. His curious, bold, and open-minded personality, plus his experimental, clever, and unique approach to design, has made the successful designer who he is

One of the most successful clothing brands in the world, Polo Ralph Lauren has built its success around more than just its line of luxurious designer clothes, but the company is one of the top marketing designers also. It was awarded “ Luxury Brand of the Year” in 2010 by the Luxury Daily. A company that was founded by a man named Ralph Lifchitz, better known as Ralph Lauren of the Bronx, New York in 1968. Since the age of 12, Lauren’s had a strong appeal and taste for looking classy. He would spend the money he earned working with his father after school, purchasing expensive suites. In his latter years, while working for a company called A. Rivetz & Co., Lauren began designing wide ties, the beginning of what latter evolved into the giant clothing empire known as Polo Ralph Lauren. The success of his designer ties caught fire quickly, retail giant Bloomingdales was the first company to endorse Ralph Lauren’s ties, but that ended quickly, when Lauren refused to narrow his ties, and stuck to his product line. Lauren’s success in the designer clothes business was unusual for someone who studied business at City College. In 1968, he founded the company Polo Fashions, a company that would later expand its market, and is among one of the top designer brands in the world today.
...can fashion. Runway shows don't start until she arrives. Designers succeed because of her. Trends are created or crippled on her command. But she determined to use her power for good, not evil.

They specifically choose each model who walks in their shows. Sadly, many have said that a model 's race and skin color are usually a major factor in deciding if she books the show or not. The Guardian quotes Annie Walshaw, a model booker, on the subject: "When the client sends you a brief you know straight away they 're not talking about a black girl. They say they want 'a girl with long hair, who looks like a fairy ' or something. When they want a black girl, they will say 'looking for mixedrace girl, tribalprints location, desert scene". So according to Annie, some designers have a "look" in mind, which they believe models with darker skin don 't fit. This "reason" for not using models of color exposes stereotypes created by the fashion industry: White models are seen as delicate, blank canvases, while darker models are "edgy" or "exotic." However, as we all know, these stereotypes aren 't true. In the same article, Carole White, founder of Premier Model Management, describes another reason some designers shy away from selecting ethnically diverse models, saying, "There 's not so much work for them, and sometimes photographers and makeup artists are scared. They don 't know how to light or make them up properly so it takes a lot longer. It 's a slower process." This problem with photographers and makeup artists has been discussed by other models and fashion insiders. However, this seems to be
