Introduction

In recent years, the local clothing industry has gradually moved upmarket and established its high quality fashion image. Hong Kong is one of the major clothing exporters in the world market. Its re-export of clothing products also ranks very high in the world.

Despite its continuing shift of labour intensive processes and lower-end production out of Hong Kong, Hong Kong remains a strong base of infrastructural support to nearby areas in fashion design, merchandising, sample making and quality control. In the local market, there is still a high demand for manpower in fashion design, merchandising and related activities.

Fashion design, merchandising and other related activities such as quality control, sample making and model fitting will be discussed. As individual clothing establishments vary in size and operational strategies, the duties of the following posts may be somewhat different when compared with those in the actual situation.
