Fashion Marketing and Communications

""The fashion industry is the quintessential example of an industry whose marketing has profoundly shaped and manipulated consumer tastes and, indeed, society. In an update and revision of her important book on marketing in the fashion industry, Olga Mitterfellner, a London-based fashion professional and teacher, reviews marketing and communication strategies and methods used in fashion in a refreshing and interesting way."" ­—Geoffrey T. Fong, OC, PhD, FRSC, FCAHS, University Professor of Psychology, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada ""This book shows that to be a fashion lover and maintain an activist's heart are not mutually exclusive. The globally-minded concept speaks to an all-too-rare approach to fashion education for the student or professional. It has become commonplace to relate social responsibility to sustainability in the supply chain, but ethics plays a crucial role throughout the entire fashion industry. Olga's chapters blend history and modern practices in marketing to create a better understanding and support progressive change."" —Monika Sklar, Associate Professor and Director/Curator of the Historic Clothing and Textiles Collection, UGA, USA ""This impressive book has a refreshing look at the fundamentals of theory and practice coupled with the past and present developments of Fashion Marketing. Students and practitioners will learn, explore, and re-evaluate the industry as Olga Mitterfellner has expertly added a much-needed dialog on ethics in marketing, prompting us to think and work responsibly."" —Ilan Alon (Professor), Dean of the School of Economics, The College of Management Academic Studies, Rishon LeZion, Israel
