We are an educational and informational site for anyone who wants to learn about and stay in- formed about fashion. We were the first to offer a browser-based fashion textbook with evolving content. Our purpose is to teach fashion, to keep the information current, and to reach many. The series collection is comprised of 3 books. Vol. I, The Fashion Industry, is a reflection of the current fashion season. It's like a seasonal fashion magazine, literary textbook, and topical news all in one. Vol. II, Elements of Art in Fashion, embraces a cultural view of dress and appearance. It takes you on a slower moving journey of gradual regeneration that evolves with the changing social atmosphere around us. Vol. III, The Evolution of Fashion. encompasses both by recounting the fashion trends that dominated the style of dress during particular periods throughout history.

Each book is a comprehensive course of study for the subject title. Unlike a college or university, you will not earn credits. However, if your goal is entrepreneurial, you may find that the instruction you receive and the knowledge you gain are enough to confidently launch your fashion business.

For those exploring the possibility of choosing fashion as a career, you have the opportunity to see if you even like fashion before making the decision to enroll in a college program. For enrolled students at colleges and universtities, we provide a reasonably priced textbook for your class. For independent learners, each book is like taking a college fashion course except there are no additional costs to pay like tuition, parking, and course fees. In this, the savings can be quite ex- traordinary.

Our primary emphasis is women's fashion. Certain sections address menswear, but note that the majority of illustration examples, the designers covered, and the fashion show reviews focus on women's fashion. If you aspire to design men's clothing or to open a men's clothing store, you will benefit from the fashion industry information in Vol. I and selected sections in Vol. II.

The content of the books is derived from the course material that Janet Reed used for her lectures as a college fashion instructor. It is considered undergraduate level while it also addresses ad- vanced topics and learning levels. How you receive the information (and more, how you apply the information) will be relative to where you are. The books were uniquely designed to be read more than once as you will interpret the information differently at various stages of your life and career.

There are ample challenges throughout each book, plenty of interesting topics to get your attention and progress your thinking, and an impressive collection of fine art illustrations to stir your imagination.

The books have some elements characteristic of a traditional book but are viewed using a computer device. This opens up a world of features you have grown accustomed to - like easy navigation, having access to apps and programs you like to use, the ability to work on other things in another window, and access to the Internet.

The digital format makes it possible for the author to update the material - at anytime - in response to relevant new information. This was a major reason why the format was chosen. Traditional publishers of literary works need substantial lead time for layout, printing, and distribution. For a subject like fashion (excluding fashion history), a good portion of the book can already be old news before it even reaches the shelf.

You will love the hands-free feature - no more fighting with a book trying to anchor down a page while attempting to take notes or work on a project. Going paperless may seem a little awkward at first, but when you can click to go to a section, you suddenly realize that it's the same principal as thumbing through the pages of a book, only easier. And no more lugging around heavy books!

Viewing the book on your desktop computer is most ideal as you have a larger monitor and the working area of your desk surrounding you, but via your laptop or tablet, you can study on-the-go anywhere.

The content is suitable for 18 years and older. The intent is to create content that is respectful and considerate to the general populace while also reflecting the current cultural atmosphere. For more information about content appropriateness, please review the Disclaimers section in the License Agreement.

It is our intent to present and maintain a respectable and accurate educational and informational resource for visitors to our site and for those who purchase our books. By reading this entire site, you should have a good idea of what you can expect in terms of our commitment to education, the fashion industry, the social community, and social evolution.

The principles are presented in a logical and methodical sequence in a manner that builds on prior learning. There is ample use of nearby illustrations, charts, graphics, and photographs to provide a visual representation of a concept or to aid in the assimilation of the material. Unlike traditional publishing, dynamic elements can also be incorporated like video and sound which lend to an en- gaging learning experience.

The word "test" was never spoken in Janet's classroom. Instead, she developed challenging pro- jects to help her students make use of the information. This is a standard she felt strongly about preserving in her digital books. In Volume II, you will find a project at the end of most major subject areas. Doing the projects is encouraged because they will help you grasp the material you just learned and will equip you with a working knowledge to apply to your job, work, or intended use. For Volume. I, you will finish the entire book before suggested projects are discussed. This is intentional, because how you go about completing the projects will be relevant to your chosen path in fashion and by book's end, you should have a fairly good idea about which sector most interests you.

Upon completion, many of the projects will serve as reference manuals to add to your developing fashion library.....a notebook about color psychology/perception, another representing design styles and how they alter body lines.....a directory of designers and fashion houses.....and you will learn how to develop a Fashion Week Report to help you track style trend beginnings. The projects will help you progress your knowledge in that subject area. They will help you advance your skills in the workplace. And if your interest is casual rather than academic, the projects are equally rewarding for awareness and personal development.

Fashion Merchandising Online is especially dedicated to bringing fashion education to individuals who choose or have need for an independent, at-home, or self-guided learning environment. You are buying the same material we sell to students enrolled in a college fashion course.

Continuing Study

This offering is extended by invitation to individuals who have purchased FASH 01. The program is designed for advanced learning and thereafter as an ongoing knowledge base for fashion professionals - those who have decided to stay with fashion and have made fashion their career. Following your purchase of Vol. I: The Fashion Industry, you will be issued a FASHION ID. Among its benefits is the ability to purchase "Fashion for Thought".

Fashion for Thought is an insightful commentary aimed to get you thinking forward. It covers a range of topical events and foreseeable consequences affecting the fashion industry and gives Janet the opportunity to connect with you in a more profound way.

Fashion for Thought includes the current edition of The Fashion Industry. This book is updated every new fashion season. In this, it is very beneficial to those who want to stay abreast to the ongoing changes in the industry. As each new fashion season nears, you will anticipate with excitement the release of the next edition. Every seasonal edition includes the Fashion Week Report covering the shows in Paris, Milan, London, and New York as well as all the changes that happened in the fashion industry since the initial edition you purchased. And your loyalty discount gets you nearly 75% off the bundled list price!

It is Janet's desire that in time you develop an astuteness of your own to read the market, assimilate the effects of critical industry changes, and write your own Fashion Week Report. The Continuing Study program is purchase-per-season-based. There's no subscription or obligation, so if you want to stop, just don't order again. It's that easy.

We are committed to supporting educators, fashion programs, and enrolled students with material that is well-researched and current and that provides lifelong value to those pursuing a career in fashion. Students pay high costs for an education today. Everyone complains about the high price of textbooks and some instructors list two or three required and recommended books for a single course!

And why aren't students keeping their course books after completion of the class? Using outdated teaching material or a textbook that can not be used later as a reference is a disservice to a student paying a premium for a college education. This needs to be addressed and that's what these books offer!

Volume I: The Fashion Industry and Volume II: Elements of Art in Fashion COMPREHENSIVELY cover a VAST number of topics and are often suitable for several different courses in a fashion program. Besides a generous student discount, students enrolled in several classes may be able to reduce the number of course books they need to buy.

Students

When your instructor participates in our school program, you receive a discount of nearly 30% off the purchase price of your textbook. With the purchase of Vol. I: The Fashion Industry, you will be issued a FASHION ID which can be applied to the Continuing Study opportunity (see above for details).

Fashion Instructors

The books are appropriate for traditional lecture as well as distance learning courses. It is our aim to make your job a whole lot easier by providing you with a quality textbook and teaching reference. We appreciate you choosing us for your textbook(s)!

If you teach several courses and/or have an extensive fashion program, we think you might find that one title has the diversity of content to be used for other courses as well, cutting costs for your students who are working toward a degree in your program.

Besides the discount extended to your students, your book is comped. For each succeeding school term, you are supplied with the most recent, current version of the title. You must reapply each succeeding school term. There are two reasons for this policy: a) the book must be required course material for a class listed in the schedule of courses for said quarter/semester with you listed as the instructor and b) you will be teaching from the most current version of the textbook.

The procedure for applying is quite simple. Email us at:
fashion-books@fashionmerchandisingonline.com
with the following information:

1) Your name and contact information (campus email address + campus mailing address)
2) A link to your school's website page showing the "course title", "school term dates", and "your name listed as the instructor"
3) A link indicating that our book is designated as the required text for your course
4) Upon approval, you will receive your License Key and further instructions. After the initial school term, the process requires less time as you already have your license key.
5) Please review the E-Book License Agreement for Instructors as you will be bound by its terms and provisions.
6) Your complimentary book expires at the end of the school term. You will use this same pro- cess each school term to reapply.
7) We do not sell our books through campus bookstores. Instead, your students will pay for their textbook through our website. Each "registered student in your class" will be issued a single- use Coupon Code which reduces the price near to 30%.

Public Libraries

Our aim is to make these course study books available to anyone who has the curiosity to learn about fashion. The public library system plays a big part in this as it provides a way to reach those who lack the resources to purchase a book of their own.

It is our goal that every community in the U.S. has access to the books through their local branches. For those branches unable to find a place in their budget, we will continue our efforts to connect donors or to fill this capacity ourself.

We charge no extra or commercial fees for multiple user access. Our only stipulation is that each branch buys and houses its own book(s). The software will not allow sharing between branches. The books are to be classified as reference material and only available for viewing inside the branch. We have special security methods designed for libraries which we will discuss with you.

Your order is handled via account. To initiate this procedure, please email the following informa- tion to fashion-books@fashionmerchandisingonline.com:

1) Your name and title
2) Your branch name and branch address
3) A daytime contact phone number
4) Your branch contact email address
5) As the purchasing agent representing your branch, please review the E-Book License Agreement for Public Libraries as you will be bound by its terms and provisions.
6) We will provide you with a custom order link once your account is established.

The books are available to U.S. customers only.

After your purchase, you will receive confirmation of your order via email with a link to down- load the book application setup file. This will come from our file host provider and payment processor FastSpring. The download link is valid for 7 days. Within 1-3 business days after your purchase, you will receive an email from us. For Independent Study purchasers, the email will include shipment details for your license key (USB) along with instructions for how to activate your book. For Enrolled Student purchases, the email will include your activation key. Your USB license key will be issued by your instructor.

Your USB license key will work with all of your devices to which you download the setup file. The USB license key does not store the book, but it must be plugged into the device in order to open the book. You will be able to read your book(s) on only one device at a time.

Installation of your book software is as uncomplicated as any type of software you have ever installed on your Windows PC. The software application is safe to download. It is digitally signed and certifed with a Microsoft Authenticode Certificate to verify that the product is in fact from us.

Should you purchase more than one title, your USB license key will work with all books. So all future purchases, editions, additional titles, new titles, and programs are tagged to one USB. Each book, however, requires its own activation key. This is a simple file that is emailed to you. After your first purchase then, the process of ordering another book will be much faster as you already have the physical USB license key. You only need the activation key which will be emailed to you.

Each order is custom. We appreciate your patience. Most orders are processed within 1-3 business days. Receipt of the USB License Key (shipped via USPS) takes another 3-4 business days.

Payment processing is administered by FastSpring, based in Santa Barbara, California. FastSpring also serves as our application file download host provider. Available payment options are Visa (credit/debit cards), MasterCard (credit/debit cards), American Express, Discover, PayPal, and Amazon Pay.

Please note that by law, some states require that sales tax be collected on digital products. The amount of the tax collected is in accordance with the governing body of the state where the product is purchased.

Independent, At-Home Course Study

Individual titles are priced as noted. You can read the books in any order. With the purchase of Vol. I: The Fashion Industry, you will be issued a FASHION ID which allows you to purchase "Fashion for Thought + the updated/current edition of The Fashion Industry for just under 75% off the bundled list price. This bundle is designed for ongoing/advanced study as well as staying abreast to changes in the fashion industry.

Enrolled Students in a Fashion Class

Vol. I and Vol. II are $133.75 which is nearly 30% off the regular price. This discount is reserved for registered students and requires a Coupon Code at the time of purchase. Your instructor will provide details about your Coupon Code. You will purchase your textbook directly from us rather than your college bookstore.

A full preview is offered to Public Libraries and Instructors BY INVITATION ONLY.
