Are You a Fashionista?

Or maybe you need to research fashion, dress or cultures from around the world.  The library has two fashion databases – FashionSnoops and the Berg Fashion Library.    

FashionSnoops shows the latest styles and trends from leading designers in Paris, London, Tokyo, the US and other fashion centers.  FashionSnoops is a leading global forecaster of fashion trends.  

The BergFashion Library database is excellent for researching history and current fashions from around the world.  It offers nearly 70 full-text eBooks, including the ten-volume Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion.  Full of color images and authoritative articles, this database will be useful to anyone studying fashion, anthropology, art history, history, museum studies, and cultural studies.
