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.
