Fashion Terms — the Apparel Search fashion terminology directory
Where can information about fashion be found? Twenty-five years ago the answer would most likely have been the library or a fashion school. In modern times, the best place to find information about fashion is the internet: libraries and fashion schools are still great places to learn about fashion, but they are simply not as vast as the internet. Finding information and understanding it are different things, however — there is no substitute for a good teacher or a good librarian to explain the details. For fashion specifically, useful starting points include fashion blogs, fashion magazines and shopping websites, alongside the directories and guides collected on Apparel Search.

Where can we find information about fashion? If you would have asked me this questions 25 years ago, my answer most likely would have been that you should check the library or visit a fashion school. However, in modern times, the best place to find information about fashion is on the internet. Although libraries and fashion schools, are great places to "learn about fashion", they simply are not as vast as the internet. Therefore, when searching for "information" about fashion my first choice is typically the internet. Please note that you will be able to "find" information about fashion on the internet, but you may actually need a professor or librarian to explain the details to you... There is no substitute to a good teacher or good librarian.
If you simply wish to find as
much information as possible about fashion, I believe
that the internet is your best resource.
If you wanted to know where to
find
information about the fashion industry,
I would suggest you stick right here on Apparel
Search. Or I would possibly send you over

researching the "industry" I may suggest
some additional resources. For example, you
may wish to review fashion blogs,
fashion magazines,
shopping websites, etc.

Finding Information vs. Learning FashionThe distinction the internet forces is between retrieval and understanding. A search can surface a definition, a trend report or a designer biography in seconds, at a scale no library can match; it cannot tell a beginner which source is reliable, which term is being used loosely, or how a production term connects to a retail one. That is the continuing role of fashion schools and libraries — and of structured directories, which organize information around a topic instead of leaving a reader alone with a results page. Common QuestionsWhere is the best place to find information about fashion?The internet. Libraries and fashion schools remain great places to learn, but neither is as vast as the internet; the caution is that finding information is not the same as understanding it, and a good teacher or librarian still has no substitute. What kinds of fashion resources are online?Fashion blogs, fashion magazines, shopping websites and directory sites such as Apparel Search, which collects guides to women’s fashion, men’s fashion, clothes and fashion brands, plus term pages on topics from fashion forecasting and fashion icons to fashion schools and fashion stylists. Where can information about the fashion industry itself be found?On Apparel Search — the companion page on information about the fashion industry covers industry research, and this terms directory explains the industry’s vocabulary term by term.
