The Fashion Design Reference & Specification Book: Everything Fashion Designers Need to Know Every Day Paperback – Illustrated, July 1, 2013

This book was bought for my daughter who loves fashion design and is a fashion design student. She loved this book and it is as described.

A worthwhile purchase. I am not a Fashion Student. I like to sew clothes for myself and my grandbaby. This was a very interesting read and has helped to fill in some blank spaces regarding designing my own clothes.

Good Reference for beginners looking to understand the fundamentals of the fashion industry.

Helpful book about all the aspects of the fashion business. The reality is explained there and different solutions to inevitable problems are given.

Absolutely love this book! Totally for beginners!! MOST Have if your new to Fashion Design!!!

Great Fashion Design reference guide by Jay Calderin. I highly recommend it for all designers. I look forward to reading Jay's other publications as well.

Lots of info

Not was I was expecting. This is a basic book that covers just some of what you would learn in 1st year in a fashion degree program. This might be good for those that want a brief introduction into the basics of fashion design though. It covers a lot of different topics, such as how to use color in a collection and how to render your designs on paper, but does not delve into any given area past a basic surface level. Also, please note that this book does not aid with any technical sewing or pattern making skill development.
