Book Description:
Fashion deals with a world of illusion on the one hand and a hard-bitten, multi-million pound, super-complex industry on the other. This highly illustrated book clarifies how fashion operates on all its levels: the mystery of haute couture is explained, the complexities of ready-to-wear are simplified, and the power of mass production is evaluated. Fashion terms, their use and meaning are put into plain words and the complicated stages of design, manufacture and distribution are described in detail. Sections are also included on bespoke tailoring, wholesale menswear, dressmaking, millinery and accessories, short biographies on the most influential designers and the fashion calendar.
