Person happy with the book

I chose this book for a student in Fashion MBA as a christmas gift.
I don't know much about this field but the person was really happy with the book and the content matching her needs and completing nicely the courses she is following. This one is revision 3, from 2011 but seems to be still very actual and accurate. Useful anyway.

Then read this book first!

Sue Jenkyn Jones provides a good end-to-end overview of the Fashion Design Business. From this book, you will get an good idea of what talents and requirements are needed to be a Fashion Designer. Covered in this book are the business aspects, fashion cycles, textiles, manufacturing, sketching, patternmaking, CAD for designers, colors, sewing, and much MUCH more.

Each topic is explored enough to get slughtly further than the basic concept but not thoroughly covered. I do not think it is possible to completely explore everything on Fashion Design in one book. It is a great introduction to see if it something suitable for yourself or if you are seeking out an overview of the design business. The book is generously packed with graphical examples, sketches, charts, and runway photos.
