[edit] About us This project aims to expand Wikipedia's fashion coverage. If you would like to help, feel free to add yourself to the list of participants, or just look over the How you can help section below. Also of interest is the Fashion Portal associated with this project. [edit]  Articles covered by this WikiProject Go here to view articles tagged with {{WikiProject Fashion}}, organized by importance and state of completeness. [edit] How you can help [edit] 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. [edit] 2. Improve our most important articles [edit] 3. Other tasks Either add to the list or check something off! - Article requests: Colin McDowell,Trina Turk, d'Orsay (shoe), Juliet cap, Guard's coat, Covert coat, Camelhair Polo coat, Balmacaan (coat), Burn-out, Theatrical costume, Creative director (fashion), all the designers that are red-linked on Fall 2008 fashion weeks; and all the red-linked Coty Award & Neiman Marcus Fashion Award winners --see the list of fashion topics for more fashion terms in need of articles
- Fix issues with articles in Category:Fashion articles needing attention and Category:Fashion articles needing expert attention
- Upload requested photographs of fashion, requested photos of clothing and cosmetics
- Create infoboxes for clothing companies, and editors (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 Jacket article. Jackets are important, and this is really poor at the moment. We should remove some of the non-notable items on the list, at the very least contain the mess in a separate list article, write about jackets, and have a sorted list
- Improve 1945-1960 in fashion, 1960s in fashion, 1970s in fashion, 1980s in fashion, 1990s in fashion, and 2000s in fashion to be up to the quality of the other fashion history articles.
- Encourage editors who refer to 'current fashion' or similar to include a reference date. When such an entry is found, update it if needed with a reference date if such can be established. An example, as of 14 Aug 08, is the article on Henley shirt.

If you are interested in helping, please add yourself to the list! | Name | Special Interests | | AllieAnalogue | The opposite of Vickser, I'm coming back to fashion after a brief career dealing with "serious things" like human rights, refugee resettlement and human trafficking. I'm a long-time sewer, so I can be of a little help discussing clothing construction. I've been researching history of women's fashion- from medieval to current- on an amateur level for about 15 years. I collect vintage clothing and handbags. I write the blog Analogue Chic. I joined up here because we need an article on the first major model of color, China Machado, and I'm also concerned about creating articles and preserving sources on what I call fashion anthropology, and especially environmentally and socially sustainable design. I'm not well versed in writing code or Wikipedia itself, so I will need lots of help. Gasp. | | Antique Rose | I'm interested in improving and correcting the fashion articles. My interest is mainly focused on women's clothing. | | MBee23 | I am interested in contributing to the wikipedia fashion project as I have a love for fashion and enjoy fashion journalism. I am also the Australian coordinator for Wikifashion. | | AQu01rius | Re-writing/writing entries on major fashion brands, and re-developing the project page. | | Calliopejen1 | Interested 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 Case | It'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. | | Johnbod | Really only historical stuff, and nearly all medieval (yes they had fashion too!). Also textiles a bit, especially early printed ones. | | krushdiva | I too love fashion and excited to contribute and improve fashion articles | | Mabalu | I have good general knowledge of fashion, with a interest in British designers, particularly the 1960s-70s boutique era. Also good knowledge of fashion terminology and dress history from the last 400 years. I'll be trying to revise and improve the British fashion designer bios, after seeing some absolute horrors of misinformation... | | Marsattack | I'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! :) | | Mbinebri | If you see me around, I'm probably doing grunt work on the vast expanse of fashion model articles. Maintenance tags, categorization, fact-checking, copyediting, dealing with obvious policy violations, etc. | | Millichip | I'll be trying to develop some of the British menswear articles, among other things. | | Miranda | Uploading pics from Commons and adding them to articles. Assessments. | | Nicole A. Jenkins | A lifelong student of the history of fashion, I am currently writing a book with particular relevance to the sourcing, identification and care of vintage clothing. I also own and run a vintage clothing shop in Melbourne, Australia called Circa Vintage Clothing. My area of expertise is 20th century fashion. | | Pinkadelica | I love fashion and some of the fashion-related articles I've stumbled across are in a pitiful state, so I'm here to help! | | PKM | I've done a lot of work on the History of Western fashion series. 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! | | theorb | The fashion coverage is horrible. Let's try to make some improvements. | | thiste | Pretty 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! | | Tyciol | This looks like an interesting project, found out about it from the GI glasses article. I'm no expert on fashion and a bad dresser myself, but I'll see if I can't help where I can. | | Vickser | Well, I saw this project and couldn't help but add myself. I used to work at TeenVogue, even though I now mostly try to pretend to care about serious things. Right now I'm working on an article for the always fantabulously dressed Henry Conway, but I'm happy to help out with other things. I've got access to like infinite databases, so if you ever need someone to try finding extra old sources, I'm you're girl. | | Violetbeau | Stumbled across this page when looking up a particular British designer. I love Fashion and I'd like to uphold the British end - so to speak! | | walshga | I'm interested in fashion as an aspect of organizational culture, such as business casual and interview suits. | | Winston789 | Fantastic! I think I've found my new home here :) My areas of expertise include haute couture, luxury leather goods and haute joaillerie. | | WM-86 | I have storybook characters with interesting hairstyles and different fashions (one of my guilty pleasures is collecting Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide and other fashion magazines) - ever since I watched shows like One Tree Hill, 90210, Privileged, Gossip Girl and The Hills, I became interested in making my female storybook characters more beautiful than ever. I'm also joining to revert vandalism (I use VandalProof and Twinkle as well)! :) | | Yamanbaiia | Great project, i'de never thought of improving the fashion articles! For starters, i'll try and make my favorite designer (Chanel) Good Article material. I will also work in 40's and 50's articles. | | HeatherSmithfield | I'm interested in Victorian fashion | | Julissen | Interest : improving British and European fashion information and biographies. | | Users inactive for six months are moved to Wikipedia:WikiProject Fashion/Inactive users.
