Representing the creative future

The ultimate list of online research resources VOL 2

From the nichest fashion archive to the key fashion suppliers this list has you covered (again!)

LIST OF RESOURCES VOL 2

The pandemic has fundamentally changed how fashion students are expected to work. Back in April we compiled the ultimate list of online resources to suit our new experience, now, while we exist within this state of limbo between one lockdown and the constant possibility of another, we’ve updated that list. From haberdasheries to the Instagram account compiling ‘fashion for bank robbers’, the new list combines online sites of inspiration with London’s suppliers providing the resources you need to make clothes from conception to completion.
