Fashion Industry Overview - Terms of Interest to the Fashion Industry

One way to obtain an overview of the fashion industry is to spend a year reading the 15,000 plus pages of Apparel Search. However, that would be a bit extreme. Maybe you are more interested in an actual "summary" of the industry. After all, an overview or summary is probably why you are reading a page titled the "fashion industry overview".

Because I am often long winded, it may be better if I guide you to fashion industry overviews that have been provided by other companies rather then boring you with my own summary. Here are a few examples of fashion industry overviews:

Clothing, Footwear and Fashion Overview at Business Link : Businesslink.gov.uk helps your business save time and money by giving you instant access to clear, simple, and trustworthy information.

Northwestern University - Fashion Industry Overview here is what the Northwestern University has to say about the fashion industry.

Vault - Fashion Industry Overview : this industry overview is provided by Vault which is an employment website.

Hoovers - Clothing Store Overview This is an overview of clothing stores which is clearly a segment of the clothing industry.

Apparel Industry Overview

It would probably be a good idea to visit our fashion industry associations section. You may be able to find a good summary of the industry on their websites.

You may also want to check the apparel industry guides.

If you wish to do further reading beyond a short summary, you may want to read a book regarding the fashion industry. If that is the case, you should check the fashion books section here on Apparel Search.

Possibly, I will take a crack at writing an Apparel Search Fashion Industry Overview in the future. Here is how I may start off ... "In summary, the fashion industry is one of the largest industries in the galaxy. If not the largest, most definitely the most important. Do to the fact that most humans wear clothing, this is an industry that is very much essential. Many claim that food, shelter, and clothing are the three most critical elements for human survival (yes, I know water is needed as well, but we can get liquid from foods...). Anyway, if you did not realize, clothing which is a primary necessity and happens to be manufactured by the "Fashion Industry". Therefore, the fashion industry is hugely important." There is so much more that can be said about the fashion industry. I will leave that for another day...

If you want to learn more about the fashion industry, I suggest you visit the Fashion Industry Network and ask questions in the fashion forum.

If you know of any other apparel industry overviews, let us know and possibly we will link to them.
