What is Fashion Design and Merchandising?

Stylistic Expression

Everyone likes to look good. If you don’t believe that statement, drive by your local mall on the weekend and look at all of the cars in the parking lot. That is a true indication that people love to maintain their image. Instead of following fashion trends, would you like to be the one who sets them?
