Apart from its appearance almost as a coffee-table book, there is no other introduction for the whole apparel value system that is so rich of insight and full of inspiring ideas as this bookIt's the absolute business appetizer for our students! -- Alexander Bretz, Mediadesign Fachhochschule - University of Applied Sciences, Germany Students like that it does not go deeply into history, but focuses more on the business aspects.
