Introduction
This fashion project will address how to manufacture a women's jacket. In this case, the
project will focus on coming up with a padded jacket for the ladies. The project will entail

manufacturing the jacket. This is because both young and mature ladies will be targeted with the
project looking forward to making them in different sizes being the target population.
The predicted fashion cycle length is 5years which is the period the jacket will be
introduced i...
