Editorial objective

The broad objective of Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management is to provide a forum for the publication of refereed, academic papers and more applied case study material in the fashion manufacture and retail sectors. The specific aims of the journal are to:

• encourage the production and dissemination of rigorous academic papers addressing major marketing and management issues facing the world's fashion manufacturing and retailing sectors
• identify best managerial and marketing practices internationally and to promote their widespread use in the sector
• provide a regular review of trade, production, consumption and employment trends in various countries/regions
• expose concepts in fashion marketing and management to rigorous study and, where appropriate, to undermine widely held myths by presenting well-focused research evidence.
