Fashion Merchandiser
Also called: Merchandiser, Apparel Merchandiser

Job Description: Fashion merchandisers track and analyze market trends, production costs, and previous sales numbers to determine the product direction that the manufacturer will take each season. Merchandisers are some of the most powerful employees within an apparel company with large bottom-line and personnel management responsibilities.

Fashion Stylist
Also called: Stylist

Job Description: Fashion stylists are responsible for bringing to life a photographer or director’s vision for a fashion photo shoot, layout, music video, commercial, print advertisement, etc. Fashion stylists often scout locations, create the mood for the shoot by selecting and setting up the appropriate props, fashions, accessories, and even models to fit the theme of the shoot. Companies such as magazines, newspapers, retailers, advertising agencies, and music production companies often employ fashion stylists. Many stylists also choose to run their own businesses.

Fashion Buyer
Also called: Buyer, Apparel Buyer

Job Description: Fashion buyers select and purchase apparel and accessories from designers, manufacturers or wholesalers for retail sale to their customers. Buyers use their fashion sense, knowledge of trends, and understanding of their target customers’ desires to create a range of selection within their retail stores. Due to the length of time it takes for a designer or manufacturer to fill all their orders, buyers often make their purchases up to 1 or 2 years in advance. Buyers must also be good at budgeting and planning their inventory so that a good selection of clothes is always available. Buyers for larger department stores usually specialize in a specific line of clothing or accessories (e.g. men’s denim).
