About This Collection

This page gathers the coverage in one place, newest first. The earliest items date from the site's first years: a December 2003 press release from Sloggers concerning the Apparel Search Design Studio, and “A Stitch In Time” from World Trade Magazine (January 1, 2004), written by Jeremy N. Smith and concerning Apparel Search Logistics. A March 2005 announcement with the Los Angeles Art Association, tied to the upcoming Mercedes Benz Fashion Week LA, follows.

The middle years are mostly blog coverage. In January 2007 the FashionTribes.com blog and the Fashion Indie site both posted about Apparel Search, and a March 2007 CTFE post followed. The Fashion Rag posted in July 2007, the same month as the July 11, 2007 launch article listed above, and 2008 brought posts on job search and networking, an Apparel Search interview, and a fashion-week post in October.

The Later Coverage

From 2009 onward the items widen beyond Apparel Search itself. The March 2, 2009 article covers jewelry lovers and jewelry designers and the Jewelry Network, and the August 31, 2009 article covers the fashion industry connecting through social media for employment and business connections. February 2010 is the busiest single month in the collection: the Online Warehouse Search release of February 17, 2010, and two StyleMouse releases on fashion videos, the second an expanded version of the first.

The most recent item is the July 2011 Social Hollywood Magazine article, “Apparel Search Company + Gotham City Films - A New Look at Fashion 'Obtention' for Films,” which takes the company's story into film. Read together, the list is a small history of how a fashion directory was written about as the web around it changed: trade-magazine print in 2004, fashion blogs in 2007 and 2008, social-media and video coverage by 2010, and film in 2011.
