This book is a 'must have' if you're thinking about setting up a fashion label.
It has a really well rounded, easy to read, approach to help you avoid the many pitfalls. Every step of the process is covered and there are many examples - in addition there is an invaluable list of fashion buyers (and anyone trying to sell their collections to boutiques and department stores alike will know how difficult even obtaining the right contact name is!).

I highly recommend this book and think it's the best of those available in this area.
