New Online Service for the Fashion Industry

Posted on July 15, 1998

Worth Global Style Network, an interactive online news service designed specifically for the fashion industry, launches in July in over 60 countries. Launching in New York and London, Worth employs a worldwide network of reporters covering the runway collections, seasonal trends, design houses as well as technology, trade events and textile news. The information is filed and updated daily.

"Worth is literally a godsend for the fashion industry," says co-founder Julian Worth. "This will become the premier tool for all walks of the fashion and textile industry today."

Worth is a subscription only interactive news service accessed quickly through the Internet or Worth's unique satellite delivery system. Members will receive seasonal trend predictions, tracking reports, market analysis, industry updates, licensing news, and resource and technical directories for men's, women's, and children's fashions.

Founders Julian and Marc Worth, owners of a half-century old graphics and design business, said Worth was born out of an idea to distribute their designs and artwork to a larger audience. They soon realized they could take the technology to create a much needed international fashion news service.

"It's an industry we know very well," said Marc Worth. "And we knew it was an industry that didn't have a one-stop shop for daily international news. It's been needed for years."
