WHAT THIS IS

This work was born from the concrete need to orient oneself among the sources of fashion today. To understand the conditions of access and to question the way in which these sources are shared with diverse audiences.

The history of fashion, by its nature, is built on heterogeneous and dispersed materials — clothes, accessories, photographs, drawings, fashion samples, magazines, production documents — kept in different places and according to logics not always convergent. For those who study, teach or simply want to deepen: the problem is not only finding the sources, but understanding how and where they can be consulted.

nss Archive Hub collects and catalogues physical archives — museums, schools, foundations, research centres — and digital archives — websites, social profiles, online databases — from the world of fashion, to offer a complete library to navigate and explore.
