OVERVIEW

It's not a traditional business book

The Fashion Business Manual is the world’s first visual manual for fashion business. It covers business topics including branding, production, marketing and retailing in an easy to read, visual format. Unlike traditional business books which emphasize philosophy and theory, this book focuses on the practical business skill set needed to survive in the fashion world.

Who is it designed for?

Fashion Designers
While fashion designers can be incredibly talented, they often lack the business skills to make it in the fashion world. Usually visually driven, many have never touched a business book which significantly hurts the success rate of their company. This highly-visual manual is here to change that!

From creating branding to selling to customers, there is plenty to consider when running a fashion company. This manual aims to serve as your very own mentor, reducing the mistakes you make along the way. It’s also the perfect tool for improving your skills across a range of business areas.

People in the Fashion Industry
Fashion is business. Whether you’re the head designer or a sales assistant, a 360° understanding of industry can help you tackle issues faced in your day-to-day role. The extra knowledge can give you the upper hand, and maybe even a career boost, too.

Everyone
Anyone interested in fashion or looking to get their foot in the industry’s door will benefit from reading this book. By presenting a balanced overview of business insight and know-how, it’ll help prepare you for your first steps into the fashion world.

Tailor-made for visually oriented people
