Fashion Design and
Merchandising
Fashion merchandisers
select, purchase, promote, and sell clothing and accessories.
They study fashion trends and visit manufacturers and
merchandise markets. They work as part of a team and consult
with managers and buyers, advise the advertising and display
departments, and organize and coordinate promotional activities
such as fashion shows. They may advance to become buyers and
purchasing agents, sales representatives, and managers. Fashion designers create new apparel and accessory designs. They may
sketch garment, cut the pattern, select the fabric and
materials, and in some cases construct the sample garment. They
may arrange for the showing of a line at sales meetings or
fashion shows.
This major may also lead to many other careers. For additional
possibilities, check the EUREKA Sigi-Plus or Discover
