What is the difference between fashion design and apparel design?

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I see these as two separate things. Fashion designing is the art of designing clothing, fashion, accessories, etc. Apparel designing is a more technical term pertaining to the specific act of creating clothing from nuts to bolts. If someone is apparel designer, I seem them more as a technician. For example, when a big house hires a team of designers to create a line under that house's label such as Puma, or Nike or Gap, those designers who work for that house would be referred to as apparel designers.
