"Principles" introduces the steps in creating a collection and explores new directions suggested by advances in technology and sustainability. "Dissemination" charts the many interconnecting avenues by which fashion reaches its audience. "Practice" gathers and appraises the work of the most influential and innovative fashion designers, both historical and contemporary. Fashion Design, Referenced chronicles the scope of ideas, inspirations, and expressions that make fashion such a compelling part of world culture.
