Which program is right for you?
Students aspiring to find their place in the fashion world are often unaware of a difference between fashion design and fashion merchandising. Both fields are closely related, and play large roles in industry. However, there is enough distinction that they are each worthy of their own programs at Stevenson.

Is this program right for me? | The Fashion Design degree curriculum synthesizes the individual aesthetic of the designer with an understanding of the market, historical context of fashion and costume, consumer psychology, materials, and techniques of apparel construction. Students who KNOW they want to build and create fashion using hands-on techniques should go for Fashion Design. | The Fashion Merchandising program is designed to provide majors in the program with an understanding of merchandising as it relates to the apparel and retail industries. Students who KNOW they want to be a part of the fashion world but have a business focus should follow the Merchandising route. Merchandising allows students to study the business and marketing aspects, particularly how the production, distribution, and promotion of goods and services in fashion and retail are developed and delivered to the consumers. |
