The fashion business is renowned for its competitiveness. How, then, do emerging fashion entrepreneurs get a foothold in this fast-paced field? Fashionable Business answers that question through the stories of three up-and-coming labels from Down Under-Dhini, Trimapee, and MaterialByProduct-and the visionary young designers behind them. Topics range from where they get their ideas and inspiration, to fabric types and manufacturing processes, to the day-to-day realities of running a business and building a brand. As each label illustrates, pushing the envelope of clothing design is key in an industry where edginess is richly rewarded.
