Go on a global expedition with New York City- based fashion buyer, strategist, and consultant, Mercedes Gonzalez, as she learns that there is no glamour in fashion and that only cutthroat corporate espionage prevails. From politicking with blood diamond dealers and Russian kingpins to living in indigenous villages, she has relied on her street smarts and fear of her uncle in order to outwit the industry tyrants at their own game. The underdog becomes the overlord (at-large). You'll want to grab a notebook for all the business (and life) tips this read has to offer. Advance warning, this book will convince you to become a proponent of child labor, an advocate of GMO, and a cynic of organic cotton. Mercedes Gonzalez, founder of Global Purchasing Companies, is an international retail strategist developing and implementing retail techniques around the world. For more than 25 years her influence has impacted some of the industry norms being used today. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Gonzalez, Mercedes|c(Consultant) 650 0 Purchasing agents|vBiography. 650 0 Clothing trade. 650 0 Fashion merchandising. 651 0 Garment District (New York, N.Y.) 700 1 Gonzalez, Mercedes. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12903135?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ oab_9781646890163_180.jpeg
