The Fashion Production Cycle

Designing and releasing a collection is a multi-step cycle, progressing through design, development, presentation, selling, logistics, production, and deliveries. This cycle repeats with every new collection you release, and the order of the steps can change depending on your sales method. As a designer, you will frequently have two or more collections in various stages of the fashion production cycle at one time. To successfully launch a collection, it is important to know all stages of the fashion cycle and the work required at each stage.
