Creative Fashion Presentations provides an insider's look into how creative presentations impact the introduction or sale of fashion and other products at the trade and consumer levels. The entire spectrum of professionals who use creative presentations is covered, including fashion forecasters, fiber/fabric companies, promotion associations, designers, manufacturers, retailers, and apparel marts. Forms of presentations discussed range from visual boards to couture and pre-porter fashion shows.
