Let me start by saying this: this textbook started my career in fashion. While taking an introductory fashion class on a whim my sophomore year of college, this text introduced me to careers I didn’t even know existed. I spent the next summer in midtown Manhattan interning at a trend forecasting agency. I would have never known that it was possible without this book. If you have any interest as a student in fashion, this book can show you career opportunities and introduce you to the fashion industry in a friendly, easy-to-understand way. There are plenty of interviews and supplemental sections from experts in the field, and I even got to meet some during my first stay in New York City.For fashion educators, there is no better tool for introducing students to the art and business of fashion. If you want your students to understand the industry in a holistic way, this book is the best asset at your disposal. There are so few resources dedicated to teaching aspiring fashion professionals about the nature of the industry. If you’re looking for something to prep students and introduce them to career paths, look no further.The author seems to have a true understanding of the industry, and offers plenty of actionable, real-world experience when describing careers in the industry.
This book is a must have for any fashion teacher or someone interested in learning the ins and outs of the industry! The author does a great job of leaving no stone unturned, and not only that, but incorporating today's technology into the discussion. My issue with most fashion textbooks of today is that they seem outdated. This book offers online resources where you can learn more information, but more importantly discusses how the internet plays a part in certain fields of the fashion industry. What was most appealing to me about this book though was the Qualifications/Career Challenges section. It did not sugarcoat, but rather prepped the student/reader for what to expect in the industry. This allows the reader to really decide if this is a path they want to choose, and once they do choose it, they can know what hurdles to expect allowing them to better prepare! Highly recommend!
This is a fabulous comprehensive book related to the various career paths in the fashion industry. Including case studies, interviews and a wealth of time sensitive information, this book is a necessary addition to any introduction to retail and/or the fashion industry higher education course. Highly recommend!
