Review:
This text is designed to introduce undergraduates to the central concepts of fashion design and to provide them with a contextual overview that considers design alongside issues of culture, economy and ethics. Times Higher Education Supplement We love this book. It's a fantastic, easy-reading round up of the absolute fundamentals of Haute Couture. We are actually so pleased with how this book is put together we would recommend it to any uniformed or fashion newbie the world over. It just sums up what you need to know, the basics in one package. Ross Weston, Young Designers Limited
