Editorial Reviews

Review

"An essential primer for anyone wanting to make it big in the fashion biz." Nicholas Coleridge, Managing Director, Conde Nast "Explores the popularization of fashion and explains how marketers and branding experts have turned clothes and accessories into objects of desire. The 'back story' of where goods come from and how they are manufactured and sold is always fascinating, which is why Tungate's book so appealed." Publishing News "Fashion Brands includes exclusive quotes and insights into brand strategy from designers such as Paul Smith and Diesel founder Renzo Rosso." In-Store Magazine "Dissects the fashion industry from high street to haute couture and gives a detailed history of fashion brands as well as explaining the influence of branding." Media Week "Men don't shop seasonally," says Mark Tungate, Paris-based writer and author of Fashion Brands: Branding Style from Armani to Zara." Daily Telegraph "Useful nuggets" Financial Times "Littered with amusing anecdotes." Marketing "Includes brand strategy insights from designers such as Paul Smith and Deisel founder Renzo Rosso, interviews with influential industry figures and behind-the-scenes reports." Fashion Business International "An interesting read for anyone involved in the fashion or marketing sector." International Textiles "getAbstract.com recommends this book to marketers - even those who are not fashion minded - who want to rejuvenate their creativity and pick up some new sources of inspiration and style." www.getAbstract.com "Drawing on research and interviews (he had no experience with the fashion industry before writing this book), he writes in a conversational manner for a general readership and for professionals involved with marketing." Reference & Research Book News "This is the most fun non-fiction book that I've read in a long time, while simultaneously unique and useful. Written in a witty and readable journalistic style, this book unravels the magic behind an industry that uses more smoke and mirrors than Hollywood." Anoop Maini, Chartered Management Institute (www. Managers.org.uk) "Tungate's absorbing and thoroughly entertaining book examines the new rules of the global fashion industry... An impressive and authoritative overview of what is arguably the world's original brand name industry." AdBrands.net "Journalist Mark Tungate presents a terrific overview of many key aspects of this gritty yet ephemeral business." Reader review by Rolf Dobelli, Amazon.com "Most of the content has come up in the leading fashion and culture magazines and business media... But Tungate brings all of these subjects, all of these themes, and all of these prominent fashion brands together for a picture of the system of which they are all a part. With his broader perspective, he also gives a global perspective not limited to the vibrant, shop-til-you-drop, U.S. market and its advanced ideology of consumerism where many of the "branding" ideas and techniques originated, but including also European and Asian markets." The Midwest Book Review "Explores the popularization of fashion and explains how marketers and branding have turned clothes and accessories into objects of desire." www.brandrepublic.com "Interesting things to say about the effects of the global marketplace on fashion brands." Drapers "Will appeal to fashion students and those with an interest in the business side of the fashion world." Sew Today

4.0 out of 5 stars popular account of branding in the fashion field, November 1, 2005
This review is from: Fashion Brands: Branding Style from Armani to Zara (Hardcover)
Most of the content has come up in the leading fashion and culture magazines and business media. And the topic of how marketers create consumer demand and the story of individual brands such as Nike and Gucci have been covered in other books. But Tungate brings all of these subjects, all of these themes, and all of these prominent fashion brands together for a picture of the system of which they are all a part. With his broader perspective, he also gives a global perspective not limited to the vibrant, shop-til-you-drop, U.S. market and its advanced ideology of consumerism where many of the "branding" ideas and techniques originated, but including also European and Asian markets. A media, marketing, and communication journalist, Tungate writes in a popular style with many references from popular culture and the well-known fashion marketplace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!, October 21, 2005
This review is from: Fashion Brands: Branding Style from Armani to Zara (Hardcover)
If you want to understand the true meaning of style, the fashion world can explain it. No other industry is as adept at transforming a commodity into an art form, and doing so repeatedly on a seasonal basis. Journalist Mark Tungate presents a terrific overview of many key aspects of this gritty yet ephemeral business. His wide-ranging book covers everything from fashion photography to haute couture, modeling agencies, accessories, second hand clothes and even the history of department stores. He goes into journalistic detail about established and avant-garde designers, photographers, ad agencies and trend consultants who work side by side to sell image to the public. This is a serious book, complete with the URL's of key Web sites, and profiles of the top designers who create brands. Tungate goes inside fashion firms that know how to sell dreams and illusions made of Italian fabrics and fine leather. We recommend this book to marketers - even those who are not fashion minded - who want to rejuvenate their creativity and pick up some new sources of inspiration and style.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not professional enough !, October 27, 2005
By William Chan (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fashion Brands: Branding Style from Armani to Zara (Hardcover)
The book is lacking in two big areas:

First, the book does not have enough photo and past advertising materials to let readers to really see how the brand owner transform and execute their concepts towards building the brand identity they inteded --> (impractical, and just talk.)

Second, fashion branding is even more conceptual than the classical FMCG branding, and really take a branding professional to handle it properly. If the author is only a journalist, he should at least include some works from branding professional to make the book more useful.

To be frank, the book is just a bit better than reading fashion magazine and this is only my opinion.
