“Consumer behavior affects all aspects of the fashion industry, design, production, and merchandising and promotion at all levels, as much as it affects retailing. The Why of the Buy: Consumer Behavior and Fashion Marketing addresses how psychology, sociology, and culture all influence the how, what, when, where, and why of the buy. The unifying element of this text is its presentation of current knowledge of consumer behavior applied to the fields of fashion and design in an enthusiastic and relevant way. “
