Developing a Fashion Collection Summary

Developing a Fashion Collection by Elinor Renfrew (Kingston University, UK)

Fully updated with new interviews and inspiring images, the 2nd edition of Developing a Fashion Collection covers everything the fashion student needs to know before designing their own collections. Developing a Fashion Collection focuses on the process of designing a collection, and explores different types of research, fabric sourcing, the key roles within a design team and the many sources of inspiration available to designers.

Collections for niche markets, including knitwear, childrenswear and footwear are also discussed.

Developing a Fashion Collection Reviews

In the professional world, knowledge of the industry you work in is paramount for success. You need to know every name in this book. -- Todd Lynn, Fashion Designer
Insight into real industry-based fashion practice is valuable knowledge that cannot be taught to students in a theoretical way. The first-hand insight into designers' working methods presented in this book - from conceptual research to producing a marketable collection - makes Developing a Fashion Collection a valuable practical tool for recent graduates and emerging designers embarking on their own careers. -- Jens Laugesen, Masters Design Tutor, Ecole de la Couture Parisienne, France
The book is richly illustrated with images from international collections. Underpinning each chapter are exclusive interviews with designers from all facets of the fashion industry, who share their own experiences of developing their own collections. This book is a fabulous resource for all budding and start-up fashion labels. * Vintage Made Magazine *
