Fashion Forecasting

From shameless to daring, smart to dowdy, hideous to amusing.......2002-03-14

Ms. Brannon is a professor, and this is a textbook. A supurb textbook that unravels, analizes, graphs, charts, and narrates the dynamics of consumer choice in light, effortless prose. It is an epic study that brings aboard the great cast of characters who have devoted their lives to staying a jump ahead of us. (The bibliography is 16 pages long!) Whom do they watch? How does a forecaster know when an innovation has good "legs"? Is it in tune with the times, or a counter current? All this and more is told as Ms. Brannon peels the onion that is fashion.
Did you ever wonder how Tommy Hilfiger connected with his market? The story is here.
For me, this was a great read, like say, "The New Yorker." And I am not even in the biz.

Fashion Forecasting

ASIN: 1405121203

Book Description

The colour forecasting process is a major driving force in the fashion and textile industries, and is very complex, highly intuitive and little understood.This textbook for students of fashion and design identifies the driving forces of fashion, past and present, and explains why the colour forecasting process was initiated and has developed to its present day state. Colour terminology and some of the more subjective tools used by colour forecasters are explained. Also, a model is given of the colour forecasting process and this is discussed in detail. Finally, readers are shown how to develop 'colour stories'.

Book Description

Forty of the fashion industry's most acclaimed designers present their vision for clothing and accessories in the new millennium in this lavishly illustrated volume. Sketches and new photography of clothing, hats, shoes, and jewelry-in many cases designed specifically for this book-are showcased as representative of the "millennium mode."

The designers explain in their own words what's in store for the twenty-first century, commenting on the role of computers in clothing design, the discovery of new ranges of color, and the latest breakthroughs in textile development. Ideas that were once relegated to the realm of science fiction will be tomorrow's runway looks: clothing that responds to temperature by changing texture and bracelets that serve as cellular phones. This book offers an exciting glimpse into the future of fashion.

Boffo Fashion for the Future.......2000-01-07

This is an amazing book because, rather than offering pics we've all seen before, this book is fraught with new photographs taken expressly for it; and this is because the book shows fashion that is never-before-seen too.

There are lots of books out now (and tv programs too) about fashion for the future, but if you want to see what the really top designers are planning (and clothes that are wearable, not weird), this is the best collection I've seen so far.

BRAUN'S FASHIONS CORP.: International Competitive Benchmarks and Financial Gap Analysis (Financial Performance Series)
Icon Group Ltd.
Manufacturer: Icon Group International, Inc.
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Ring-bound
ASIN: 0597160155

Book Description

The goal of this report is to assist managers in gauging a company's financial performance vis-a-vis firms competing in the same sector, at the global level. In particular, this report covers BRAUN'S FASHIONS CORP., PLYMOUTH, USA. With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of entry barriers, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company's performance against other firms on a worldwide basis. Doing so, however, is not an obvious task. First, one needs to find firms competing in the same sector. Second, one needs to control for exchange rate volatility. Finally, one needs to use comparable financial standards. This report overcomes these issues and gives full financial benchmarks vis-a-vis worldwide competitors who are present in the same narrow industrial classification. Benchmarks cover assets, liabilities, income and ratios. Since our reports are printed on demand, the statistics reported are for the latest quarter and are the most up to date available (4 reports are produced each year). Each report provides over 100 statistics and 40 graphs to the reader.

Something for everyone.......2007-05-22

These cards are hilarious. There are a lot I've seen before, such as the Domestically Disabled picture. But there were so many I hadn't seen yet as well! All of them really funny. I really was tempted to keep them for myself and get more for my friends and family.

Bitingly, wonderfully clever.......2006-11-29

Ah, another day in the domestic paradise of the mid twentieth century woman. Cleaning, laundry and shopping to do, dinner to make - it's a good thing Anne Taintor is here to tell us what's really going on in those (now) unfathomably cheesy adverts from the 1940s-60s. The photos are artful and quaint, but it is the captions that are the showcase of this set. The captions are cleverly turned with a healthy dose of mild, PG13 sarcasm and poke fun at society's portrayals of the female domestic role without sounding bitter. Highly recommended for that witty, sarcastic and only slightly jaded special someone you may know.
