It demonstrates how these processes must be coordinated to get the right product to market, when consumers want it, and at a price they are willing to pay. Now in full color, this 3rd Edition includes a greater focus on sustainability and business ethics, fast fashion calendars and their impact on product development, and the effect of social media on design and distribution. The text also includes a discussion of how technologies-such as color matching, body scanning, and the use of avatars for fitting and patternmaking-have advanced in their accuracy and commercial applications. Chapters have been updated to incorporate current practices in sourcing, pricing, and costing with a more focused point of view on how increasingly sophisticated distribution channels impact the product development process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51873463140640,"sku":"NEW1609012267","price":77.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91o8i5fUirL.jpg?v=1781718335","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/beyond-design-the-synergy-of-apparel-product-development-1609012267","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
