From the Introduction

What follows is a list of free (some freemium) resources that support quality research in the fashion industries. The business of fashion combines an understanding of markets, aesthetic trends, international trade, and consumer behavior. I have organized the resources into the following categories: fashion industry news, starting a business, runway coverage, trend forecasting and retail analytics, and organizations and sourcing.
What you won’t find on this list are general business resources, some top-notch fashion blogs that are too shopping-oriented, and resources dealing with garment construction or with the history of clothing and dress.

Resources are organized into the following sections:

• Fashion Industry News
• Starting a Business
• Runway Coverage
• Trend Forecasting and Retail Analytics
• Organizations and Sourcing
