On another note, if they are pushing for a fashion design degree with the
aims of being able to design and then produce a line, then I would highly
recommend Kathleen Fasanella's book *The Entrapreneur's Guide to Sewn
Product Manufacturing*.
On Amazon I searched on "Fashion Design," and also found "How to Set Up
and Run a Fashion Label,""Basics Fashion Design: Developing a
Collection," "200 Projects to Get You into Fashion Design," "How to Open
and Operate a Financially Successful Fashion Design Business," (this
seems very similar the "The Entrepreneur's Guide,") and a number of
other books on setting up and running your own design business, as well
as books I have not mentioned that focus entering the industry by
working for other companies. Some of these books look excellent, for
anyone interested in these topics.
