Key Concepts for the Fashion Industry brings a breath of fresh air to fashion theory. This book puts together a collection of insights and approaches that will facilitate the student's creative thinking process and their capacity to develop keys to solve problems. The most wonderful thing about working with fashion students is their capacity to be creative and innovative. I'm recommending this book to my students in particular when they find it challenging linking theory and practice. -- Maria Sargaco, Senior Lecturer & Course Leader in BA (Hons) Fashion Promotion and Communication Fantastic resource for fashion theory! * Irene Grasser, Design Academy of Fashion, South Africa *
