Review Quotes: "[A] top pick for college-level collections strong in fashion history and design... Not only art collections but business libraries as well will find it an important survey of how the presentation of fashion is influenced by social change. From fashion industry trends and leadership to the efforts of the fashion designer, "Designing Clothes" is an excellent, in-depth survey."
--"Midwest Book Review"
"Anyone interested in the American clothing/fashion industry will find this book a helpful introduction to its unique history and culture. Extensive bibliography. Highly recommended."
-- B. B. Chico, "Choice"
