Developing a Fashion Collection

Review In the professional world, knowledge of the industry you work in is paramount for success. You need to know every name in this book. --Todd Lynn, Fashion Designer Insight into real industry-based fashion practice is valuable knowledge that cannot be taught to students in a theoretical way. The first-hand insight into designers working methods presented in this book from conceptual research to producing a marketable collection makes Developing a Fashion Collection a valuable practical tool for recent graduates and emerging designers embarking on their own careers. --Jens Laugesen, Masters Design Tutor, Ecole de la Couture Parisienne, France About the Author Elinor Renfrew is Associate Head of the Design School and Director for Fashion at Kingston University, UK.
