Dust jacket notes read: "From March 1988 to March 1989, fashion editor and journalist Irene Daria watched firsthand as five of America's top designers conceived, constructed, marketed, and sold their Spring 1989 collections. How do the designers do it-sustain their creativity season after season, execute their ideas (which depend on good press for success), and make profits in an ever-changing and fickle marketplace? Daria gives us the answers as well as providing intimate glimpses of seemingly more glamorous tasks: We will work in Hong Kong with Adrienne Vittadini; attend charity benefits with Bill Blass and Arnold Scaasi; watch Donna Karan being photographed for a story in Self; listen as Liz Claiborne addresses stockholders; and stand next to many of them as they make personal appearances. Written in diary format, The Fashion Cycle I envelops readers, making them feel very much privy to the worlds of these designers. Daria's journalistic prose is succinctly informative as well as slick, the fast pace evoking both the emotional frenzy and split-second decision-making that rule the lives and businesses of these men and women. For anyone interested in the ins and outs of the fashion industry-or for those simply curious as to the conception of the clothes they wear The Fashion Cycle is a compelling read."
