Two occupations fashion design and fashion merchandising are similar, but not exactly alike. Do you know the difference between the two.

My major is not fashion, it’s either engineering or math.

In simple terms, I believe that a designer is responsible for the actual creation of the clothing, wheras the the merchandiser is responsible for the overall display and presentation (either to the buyers or to the consumers.)
