Description

This informative, full-color text takes students step by step through the decision-making involved in the pre-production processes of apparel product development—planning, forecasting, fabricating, line development, technical design, pricing, sourcing, and distribution. It demonstrates how these processes should be coordinated to get the right product to market, when consumers want it, and at a price they’re willing to pay. The 4th Edition has been edited around a new metastructure to maximize student learning. It continues to build on the themes of sustainability, business ethics, and the affect of fast fashion and social media whilst seeking to address opportunities for both large and small companies, and entrepreneurs. The text advances its discussion of how new technologies continue to shorten the product development calendar. Chapters have been up to date to include current examples, up to date charts and graphs, and more case studies. There are up to date references to latest developments with examples relevant to today’s student.
