By far the most comprehensive and valuable archive of fashion video in the world, the Videofashion Library covers all aspects of the industry: from runway shows and backstage access to red carpets and museum exhibits, studio visits and behind-the-scenes looks — not to mention interviews with designers, models, artists, and industry experts. Videofashion’s seasonal coverage includes ready-to-wear fashion, couture, bridal, menswear, swimwear, beauty, jewelry, accessories and more from New York, London, Milan, Paris and other fashion capitals around the world.
