How you can help

1. Tag and assess fashion articles

If you see untagged fashion articles, add {{WikiProject Fashion}} to their talk pages. When you tag articles, it's best if you also assess them and rate their importance. See the template documentation for more information. We also need experienced editors to assess tagged articles that haven't been assessed yet--see Cat:Unassessed fashion articles.

2. Improve our most important articles

Find articles to improve in Cat:Top-importance fashion articles and Cat:High-importance fashion articles. Some of our top-importance articles are still at start/stub stage, which is quite sad!
The Collaboration of the Month hasn't really taken off, but anyone is free to restart it.

3. Other tasks

Either add to the list or check something off!

Article requests: Trina Turk Tory Burch Fashion line, d'Orsay (shoe), Juliet cap, Chesterfield coat, Guard's coat, Covert coat, Camelhair Polo coat, Ulster (coat), Balmacaan (coat), Burn-out, Theatrical costume, Creative director (fashion), all the designers that are red-linked on Fall 2008 fashion weeks -- see the list of fashion topics for more fashion terms in need of articles
Create infoboxes for clothing companies, designers, editors, and models (should include original designer/magazine, current designer/magazine, etc)
Split designer and label articles. Oscar de la Renta -> Oscar de la Renta (designer), Oscar de la Renta (fashion label)
Expand Fashion week, Dolce & Gabbana, other articles in Cat:fashion stubs
Improve Laura Dahl by adding an image and cleanup to warrant removal of COI.
Translate History of clothing, Clothing in ancient Rome, and Clothing in the ancient world from French
Re-make the Coat and Jacket articles, so that they aren't just lists, cause they could just be categories if they don't have their own information, not just summaries of the different coats. Also make sure they don't overlap anymore, leave out all jackets from the coat article and viceversa, this will imply you make an adequate distinction between them. It would also improve the articles to group the types of coats and jackets by sub-categories.
Upload requested photographs of fashion, requested photos of clothing and cosmetics
Improve 1945-1960 in fashion, 1960s in fashion, 1970s in fashion, 1980s in fashion, and 1990s in fashion to be up to the quality of the other fashion history articles.

Name Special Interests Antique RoseI'm interested in improving and correcting the fashion articles. My interest is mainly focused on women's clothing. AntiVanityI am a developer of entries relating to plus-size modelingon the Wiki (both as current ID and formerly as BGModel). I've been in this side of the industry for over 10 years so have a good handle on major players and models in this area of fashion. I have lived and worked internationally so I don't have a particular US bias myself, but I do think it overwhelms the current entries. C777I'm interested in improving the fashion coverage. My focus will be the biographies of designers and models. Calliopejen1Interested in improving the (often quite terrible!) fashion coverage on Wikipedia. Figured I would start this up to try to coordinate others' efforts. If anyone can help with this WikiProject, it would be much appreciated! Daniel CaseIt's about time ... not only for this project but for the first male user on this list. I am sort of accidentally here, as a result of developing The Devil Wears Prada, and subsequently Anna Wintour, which I hope to make the first FA and GA in this project soon. Our fashion coverage has been horrible ... I think Wintour has the only decent biography of any fashion person; I've had to create or upgrade quite a few articles, and that's what I see myself doing mainly — biographies. We should also give some attention to Vogue. DivineDeeds I'm interested in creating, expanding, and improving the citation of newer fashion designers and fashion labels. Esmerelda QueridaI'm very new to Wikipedia, but I love fashion in general. I'm happy to try and help out where i can GeapeI've jsut discover the portal. I studied art history, I am teaching fashion history at the main fashion school in my city. I speak spanish, english and french, I've collaborating for a while in fashion articles, good to know there are more wikipedians with the same interests!! Gilgamesh79My interest is in men's clothing, with particular attention to the traditional men's style of the 1930-1950 United States and Western Europe, contemporary interpretations of those fashions, and how modern fashions differ from the classic styles exemplified by clothing of that era. I-love-la I have studied fashion history, love fashion and was disappointed that Loverdidn't have a thorough page here. Iviave Am open to any tasks involving haute couture, specific designers and designing clothing. Thanks for the opportunity. JohnbodReally only historical stuff, and nearly all medieval (yes they had fashion too!). Also textiles a bit, especially early printed ones. krushdivaI too love fashion and excited to contribute and improve fashion articles La Vie EntiereIm a long-time reader of Fashion Week Daily, IHT:Style and WWD, my focus is on the people and fashion movements. LibraryleftyI have an interest in modern fashion, especially from the 1990s. However, I have little to no interest in Haute Couture. MadjidmadI'm very new to Wikipedia, but I love fashion in general. I'm happy to try and help out where i can MarsattackI'm a fashion and costume design student and my main interest is fashion/costume history. I joined wikipedia because I just had to collaborate on the 1945-1960 article. Such an important part of modern fashion, and this article has been a stub for too long..I'm working on it! :) MillichipI'll be trying to develop some of the British menswear articles, among other things. MirandaUploading pics from Commons and adding them to articles. Assessments. N5Rnd17 My expertise is in the lifestyle brand Abercrombie & Fitch and its sister Brands. number1spygirlI'm an Alessandra Ambrosiofan. I started improving her page and noticed that other model bios (Victoria's Secretangels) need improvement. I treated improving pages like it was homework!!! lol. PKMI've done a lot of work on the History of Western fashionseries. I am interested in the history of clothes, particulary 16th-17th centuries and Victorian, as well as embroidery and other needle arts. Count me in! Sara.g.goldsteinI'm a mild fashion obsessive, and thrilled to see that Wikipedia might finally get better fashion coverage! I'm generally interested in making the web a friendlier place for those of us who aren't geeky males. I'm also fascinated by phenomena where fashion and technology intersect, like fashion blogging. Count me in too! ;) PS: I'm in Sydney, Australia so I could also be helpful in sorting out the pages about Australian fashion designers. theorbThe fashion coverage is horrible. Let's try to make some improvements. thistePretty much the same as Sara, I've been wanting to improve the fashion part of wikipedia for a long time. I think I could help in most of the areas fashion covers but I'm gonna focus on improving the models (and maybe designers) articles for starters. By the way, I'm french! TyciolThis looks like an interesting project, found out about it from the GI glassesarticle. I'm no expert on fashion and a bad dresser myself, but I'll see if I can't help where I can. WillowI'm interested in designing and making clothing, especially knitted items. Thanks for starting this, Jen! :) I'll try to help as I can. YamanbaiiaGreat project, i'de never thought of improving the fashion articles! For starters, i'll try and make my favorite designer (Chanel) Good Articlematerial. I will also work in 40's and 50's articles.
