Beyond Design: The Synergy of Apparel Product Development, Fifth
Edition maps the processes required to bring apparel products from
concept to consumer. This full-color text takes students
step-by-step through the decision-making involved in the
pre-production processes of apparel product development including
business, creative, technical, and production planning. Updated
chapter content reflects evolving industry practice. It
demonstrates how these processes must be coordinated to get the
right product to market, when consumers want it, and at a price
they are willing to pay in an increasingly digital environment. The
text seeks to address how functional approaches vary depending on a
business’ size and fashion focus. More global in scope, the fifth
edition includes examples and case studies of multi-national
companies and incorporates global nomenclature when it differs from

how new technologies continue to shorten the product development

fashion system itself. New to this Edition · Updated references
