The apparel and textiles business comprises
a wide variety of skills and industry sectors, from fashion
designers to contract manufacturers, from basic textiles
manufacturing to distributors. In addition, a large number
of major retail store chains have a major influence on the
apparel and fashions business. Rapid changes have taken
place in apparel manufacturing in recent years. The vast
majority of clothing sold in the most affluent nations,
such as the United States and the United Kingdom, is manufactured
in foreign lands—China in particular. Contract manufacturing
and outsourcing is booming, and import/export trade issues
continue to lead to heated debate.
This carefully-researched book and online Research Center
(book versions includes a database of leading companies
on CD-ROM) provide a complete apparel and textiles market
research, business analysis and competitive intelligence
tool-- everything you need to know about the business of
apparel, textiles, fashions, design, clothing retailing
and distribution, as well as manufacturing, technology and
logistics including:
- Clothing and fashion design and designers
- Textile manufacturing, offshoring and
outsourcing.
- Clothing manufacturing, including apparel,
shoes and accessories.
- Globalization of the apparel and textiles
industry, including contract manufacturing in such nations

and accessories.
