Abstract

To stimulate learning and apply practice to theory in a creative and collaborative effort, a project was conducted involving a national apparel retailer and fashion students. This project integrated merchandising and design students in an industry-based product development experience. The students developed a lounge-wear line for the Junior Intimate Apparel depart-ment at a national retailer.
