curriculum

2ndyear

We aim to become skilled buyers at select shops and department stores.

It is up to the buyer to create an attractive product lineup that attracts customers and is different from other stores based on the store concept and seasonal theme. I read trends, do lots of research, and sometimes go to fashion shows overseas to check out new brands. A buyer's skills play an important role, directly linked to the shop's image and sales.
