Hello,
I am new to fashion business, and I would appreciate your help with the following questions:
As industry standard, do fashion houses and brands create database/catalogue of items (apparel, accessories and everything else) produced for each season that may consist of such fields as item's title, description, colors, material used, and pictures? If so, how can I get hold of/make request for those databases?
Much thanks in advance,
Amir
As the fashion trend changes regularly and it is really very vast. So no one can follow all the trends, but the trend that is generally followed is the celebrity trends as what they wear and what they like. As there are numerous brands for different products as the different product has their own specific brands as Zoya relates to nail polish and other cosmetics. I have visited addresschic and i knew about various fashion brands and trends that would be followed by the celebrities.
Yes, most fashion houses and brands create detailed catalogs or databases for each season's collection. These catalogs usually include information like the item’s title, description, colors, materials used, sizes, and high-quality photos. Here’s how it works and how you can get access:
Internal Databases for Fashion Brands: Most fashion brands maintain internal databases to keep track of their products, especially when planning and marketing seasonal collections. These databases are crucial for buyers, sales teams, and designers as they help with product tracking and inventory management.
Lookbooks and Line Sheets for Buyers: Fashion houses typically create lookbooks and line sheets for each season. A lookbook is a visual showcase of the collection, while a line sheet includes product details like item names, prices, colors, and materials. These are often shared with retail buyers, influencers, and wholesale partners.
How to Request Access: If you’re a buyer, retailer, or in the fashion industry, you can request these documents directly from the brand. Reach out via email or their wholesale contact page. Explain your business and why you need access. Brands are usually happy to share their line sheets and catalogs if they see a good potential partnership.
Check Brand Websites or Showrooms: Some brands upload their seasonal catalogs or digital lookbooks on their website for public viewing, especially during fashion weeks or when launching new collections. You can also visit brand showrooms if you’re nearby, as they often display seasonal items and provide catalogs on request.
In summary, yes, brands do maintain these catalogs, and you can request them directly if you have a business relationship or plan to make bulk purchases. It’s a great way to get detailed information about the products and see what’s trending each season. Good luck with your fashion business!
