This book is the fourth publication exploring design process, innovation and practice in the author’s principal research area – Fashion craftsmanship and futures. This is a second edition of the book previously published in 2003 comprehensively revised and updated. Through analysis, dissection of process, and case studies it examines professional fashion design practice; the generation of concepts, construction techniques, product development and technology, within the context of the subject as social and cultural investigation. It addresses the gap between theoretical studies and basic design manuals and provides insight into current industrial practice. Research was based on interactive projects with a wide range of industrial collaborators and interviews with design professionals
