The mix — retail, trends, education and industry events — shows how widely the fashion industry applied URL shortening to its long page addresses.

Shortened URL Page 5
The page 5 list is a small map of the fashion business itself. Clothing stores and belt buckles are retail; color trends are forecasting; athletic apparel is a product category; top fashion schools are education; trade shows are the industry's meeting calendar. A single shortening tool served all of them because the underlying problem was identical — an address too long to share comfortably — regardless of which department published the page.
That breadth is also why shortened addresses became a house style question: a company that shortened every public link could keep its naming pattern consistent, using the keyword in the short address to hint at the destination.

All kinds: the examples in this series cover stores, trend pages, schools, trade shows, sales and industry resources — any page with an address long enough to be worth shortening.
Pages 2, 3 and 4 hold the earlier examples, and pages 6 through 8 continue the series.
