Reviews

[N Y · Rating 3 out of 5]

The impression that I got was that this was a total beginner guide, not at all the textbook-level that I was expecting. It didn't really provide me with additional insights about the industry or the profession, but I did get a surface understanding for it. Not a must-have unless you know zero about fashion.
