Summary

Fashion Design, Referencedis a comprehensive visual guide to the central concepts, key terminology, and most significant practices in the field of fashion design. Neither a historical survey nor an A-to-Z encyclopedia, this 400-page volume examines fashion across the globe by organizing its many interwoven elements within four overarching concepts. #x1C;Fundamentals#x1D; provides an overview of the essential structure of the fashion profession (its organization, specializations, and centers) and looks at shifts in style over time and in ever-faster cycles going forward. #x1C;Principles#x1D; introduces the steps in creating a collection, from design to construction to production, and explores new directions suggested by advances in technology and sustainability. #x1C;Dissemination#x1D; charts the many interconnecting avenues by which fashion reaches its audience, whether on the catwalk or in the store, in print or online, in the museum or on the street. #x1C;Practice#x1D; gathers and appraises the work of the most influential and innovative fashion designers, both historical and contemporary. From its first question-What is fashion design?- to its last-What practices are most relevant today?- Fashion Design, Referencedchronicles the scope of ideas, inspirations, and expressions that make fashion such a compelling part of world culture.
