Q. How do I access fashion trend forecasting databases like WGSN and STYLUS?

The New School is pleased to offer access to Stylus and WGSN, two premiere trend forecasting services. 

Access Stylus and WGSN using the links here, or through the library catalog:

1. Go to the library website at library.newschool.edu. (From off-campus, you can login to My.NewSchool.edu and select, 'Libraries,' under Services in the left navigation.)
2. Click on the 'Databases A-Z' button under the header 'Quick Links' located on the Libraries' homepage.
3. On the 'Databases A-Z' page, click 'S' or 'W' and then scroll down until you get to the aforementioned databases.

You do not need to create a personal account to use either resource. However, you must be a currently registered student or current employee with an active New School email account to access the resource via our subscription.  

Stylus and WGSN both offer global trend reports. Stylus is more interdisciplinary and covers design and consumer products including food, fashion, furniture, product design, and technology. WGSN focuses more strongly on fashion, interiors, consumer technology and psychographics.

To learn more about Stylus and WGSN, you can request a 1-on-1 appointment with a librarian.
