We have had the following suggested by one of our lecturers although I'm not sure of the
costs and terms & conditions (if any) for HE. We are about to have a trial to the full
WGSN service so we can compare it to these other services.
Stylesight (www.stylesight.com)
Trendspot (www.trendstop.com)
mpdclick (www.mpdclick.com) - this is connected with Mode Information, probably the
biggest distributor of trends internationally. I'm not sure how good this is but Fashion
Capital (www.fashioncapital.co.uk) has a 50 user educational rate of £599 + VAT. Don't
know if they'd do a deal for the larger numbers.

Dear Colleagues,
I know that some institutions have decided not to subscribe to WGSN. I would
be very interested to find out what other sources are being used to provide
similar information.
Many thanks
