Abstract

The fashion industry is one of the most important industries in the world. Traditional studies and research on the fashion business are mostly empirical in nature, e.g., via case studies and empirical analysis. However, there is a need for establishing solid theoretical foundations to support the development of fashion business into a strong academic field. In this introductory chapter, we first briefly outline the topic on analytical modeling research in fashion business. We then concisely introduce the papers featured in this book in three parts, namely reviews and discussions; theoretical economic models; and engineering models, applications, and cases. Future research directions are discussed.
