The web-based Worth Global Style Network (WGSN) and its archive are now 
available through VCU Libraries.
This news and culture site tracks trends worldwide with a focus on retail, fashion and design industries--all the style-related industries. It publishes in real time and posts updates daily.
WGSN brings a global view to trends in fashion and design, with a specific focus on areas where style and commerce intersect. The network and its 12-year archive contain more than 5 million images from runways, trade shows, retail outlets, exhibitions and streets around the world. Visual searching allows the user to find similar items according to shape, color, and pattern. WGSN also gives patrons access to 16,000 downloadable copyright-free graphics from a unique library of sector-specific conceptual collections. (At right, a lighting display by Tom Dixon at Milan Design Week in 2012.)
According to its website, WGSN is "the leading online trend-analysis and research service providing creative and business intelligence for the apparel, style, design and retail industries." It was founded in 1998 and has regional offices and freelancers throughout Europe, Asia, South America and in the United States, where it has offices in New York and Los Angeles.
