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 about 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. 

Following are the skills and qualities of a Fashion Designer: -Creative & Artistic -Original and inventive -Sensitivity to colors, shades and tones -Ability to think in three-dimensions to translate into garments what they visualize -Good communication -Goal oriented -Resilient -Business acumen -Visual imagination -Fashion conscious -Persuasive -Observant -Understanding of market and customer lifestyle -Interest in sketching -Eye for detail Please refe to the link : https://www.shiksha.com/design-an-overview-skill-set-required-courses-top-colleges-article-9767-1 https://www.shiksha.com/fashion-design-job-profiles-top-recruiters-article-11566-1 Hope this information helps.
