Use the Apparel Catalog to set up seasons, the collections launched in them, and the styles you plan to source.

Overview
The Apparel Catalog is for fashion planning. A season (for example Spring/Summer) contains collections, and each collection contains the styles you plan to design or source, with their target price and cost.
Guidelines
Work top-down
Create the season first, then its collections, then the styles. Each level is picked from a list when you create the next one.
