Written for fashion graduates; newbie entrepreneurs and those in entry-level positions in the industry; Blue is the New Black demystifies the process of how to make a fashion collection accessible for all levels. Itrsquo;s a reference guide; a buddy; and an overview of who; what and where. Fashion is a multi-billion-dollar industry. Itrsquo;s not just about sketching an outfit; itrsquo;s about selecting fabric; developing buttons; sourcing a factory; negotiating prices; making patterns; seeing the final launch and selling garments. This multi-faceted industry is exciting; enigmatic and endless. With many fashion schools now recognising the importance of including technical modules to their degrees; this guide is the perfect accompaniment to the relevant modules with its vocational a to z approach of what happens in the workplace; including how to build and maintain key business relationships. In that respect; it fills a gap in the market of books that give guidance for professionals embarking on or preparing for a career in the fashion industry. People who buy Blue is the New Black want to know how to create a collection. They want to roll up their sleeves and do it; but they need practical instruction on the different phases. They donrsquo;t want to read about data management systems or the latest developments in polyester thread; they want to understand what a range plan is and how to look at a prototype in a factory. Understanding the three profiles of her readers "first jobber; creative entrepreneur and creative graduate" as the author does; she realized that the publications currently available would alienate them and ignore their needs. Seeing this gap in the market; she wrote it herself; to the benefit of a million young professionals and students aspiring to enter and get ahead in the fashion industry.
