Do
you have students with design talent and training but no business skills? Or
others with business skills, but no idea where to begin when planning a line of
clothing? Fashion
for Profit was developed by Frances Harder to assist talented individuals
in achieving their dreams by providing a solid business base and expertise on
the various aspects of owning a small apparel company. The fundamental material
for Fashion
for Profit evolved over the many years Frances was involved with the
fashion industry, both in the U.S. and in Europe, where she twice owned and
operated her own business, and taught.
Fashion
for Profit covers all the important aspects of going into
business—licenses, business plans, bookkeeping, financing, product
development, costing, fabrication, contracting, and the everyday logistics of
running a small apparel manufacturing company, plus the marketing and sales,
including mail order, e-commerce and e-tailing. There have been many textbooks
written about the fashion industry, but Fashion
for Profit is a unique book, which fills an educational and information
gap unmet until now. The book provides critical help to a start-up apparel
manufacturer, and resource information needed to operate a small business
successfully.
