Career ConnectionSMHM 2490 Intro to Apparel Merchandising Dirty Laundry Boutique Interview with Sr. Buyer- Lindsay Olivarez
What is a buyer? A buyer is someone who decides what items will be stocked in a store, based on his or her predictions about what trends are popular with shoppers. Retail buyers usually work closely with the designers, attend trade shows as well as fashion shows to observe trends.
My experience at Dirty Laundry Boutique I had a great time interviewing, and spending quality time with the senior buyer of Dirty Laundry, Lindsay Olivarez. She enlightened me with wonderful knowledge of the ins and outs of being a buyer in the fashion industry.
