Writing for the Fashion Business is an exciting and engaging textbook that presents effective writing techniques geared specifically for the fashion industry. This text fills the gap between general writing classes and upper-level fashion courses that address writing for specific sectors of the fashion business, such as merchandising or promotion. Real-world examples, case studies, and industry profiles provide models of the challenges of writing for the fashion industry and discuss issues of form and content. Students have ample opportunity to practice writing and critical thinking skills as they complete the portfolio exercises within each chapter and respond to the questions at the end of each case study. Chapter summaries and lists of key terms help them retain chapter content.
  • Profiles of fashion professionals who use writing on an everyday basis
  • Discussions of the rising importance of Web writers, and their relationship with the fashion industry
  • Case studies and examples of both good and bad writing associated with the specific sectors of the fashion business
  • Exercises for writing professionally, writing for a specific audience, and building a portfolio
  • Appendices providing invaluable references for grammar mechanics, documentation formats, elements of document design, locating and evaluating sources on the Internet, and oral presentations
