WGSN* is our trend forecasting tool for fashion and design. Recently the website for WGSN has changed in appearance. Now when you log in (on campus) you will see a website called homebuildlife. WGSN is still accessible from this new parent website.
You can still find the WGSN pages when in homebuildlife: from the homebuildlife Main Menu choose “Design & Inspiration”, then choose “Fashion Connection” then you will see the WGSN options.
Do tell the Library if you have any problems accessing what you need.
Please note that WGSN is available on-campus only.
