Overview of Plunkett's Apparel, Textiles & Fashions Industry coverage | |
The apparel and textiles business comprises a wide variety of skills and industry sectors, from fashion designers to contract manufacturers, from basic textiles manufacturing to distributors. In addition, a large number of major retail store chains have a major influence on the apparel and fashions business. Rapid changes have taken place in apparel manufacturing in recent years. The vast majority of clothing sold in the most affluent nations, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, is manufactured in foreign lands—China in particular.
