Are you fashion forward? Do you love working with the public? Is it your dream you to own and run your own business? Then it might just be time for you to marry your fashion sense and your business... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The book is a well laid out reference for anyone wishing to get into the retail clothing business. As a budding fashion designer looking to create her own outlet shop to sell my line of clothing this book was helpful for getting a start. I would recommend the book to anyone looking to get into retail!

I thought that this book was realistic, rather than discouraging. Unlike some other books about retail startup, it assumed some previous reatil knowledge on the part of the reader (which makes sense... you probably shouldn't think of opening a store if you have no retail experience at all!) Cost startup worksheets were particularly helpful.
This is a good book

I have to disagree with the previous poster. The book doesn't try to discourage the reader from getting into the retail business, it just points out that the retail business is a risky one that may not turn a profit for years. This book gives some helpful advice for would-be retailers as well as established ones, and also points you in the direction of some associations that can help (i.e., S.C.O.R.E. ). I definately reccomend it.
