Reviews & Statements

By capturing the sheer diversity of substantive research in subjects from creativity, innovation and strategic management to technology in fashion and international business practices, Vecchi and Buckley aim to demonstrate the need for a multi-faceted perspective on global fashion management. Until now, these topics have been explored as independent fields in fashion management research, which effectively contradicts the interrelatedness of real world practice in international markets. Their motivation for taking this approach was driven by a determination to illuminate the inherent complexity of fashion management and merchandising practice in an era of globalization.
