About us · Our mission

Fashion is how culture talks to itself. We're here to listen.

Every season, thousands of looks walk runways from Paris to Lagos, Seoul to São Paulo. Together they make one of the richest records of how people want to see themselves and each other. Most of it is seen for a week, then scattered across a hundred sites and forgotten.

Why we exist

A living record of the world's runways

Fashion Field Notes gathers that record in one place and reads it closely: every look, from every city, described in one shared vocabulary. That lets the quiet signals show up next to the loud ones. A colour moving from Copenhagen to Tokyo, a silhouette returning after a decade, a craft tradition finding a global audience.

We believe the next ideas in fashion can come from anywhere. Our job is to make sure they're seen.

01

Every city counts

Paris, Milan, London and New York sit alongside Lagos, Seoul, Tokyo and São Paulo. Emerging weeks are measured with exactly the same care as the established ones.

02

Close reading, at scale

Colours are measured from the garment pixels in every runway photograph, and each look is described against one controlled vocabulary, so a trend in one city can be compared fairly with every other.

03

Sourced with care

We collect from official fashion-week and brand sites, record where every image came from, and publish charts and figures rather than other people's photographs.

The breadth of our data

One archive, every runway

Every number here is live, read from the same database that powers the map, and grows each time a new fashion week is collected.

Our founder

Manchal Singh

Founder, Fashion Field Notes

“Every runway is a field report on how we live now. I wanted a way to read all of them at once.”

Manchal Singh founded Fashion Field Notes to bring rigour to how fashion is understood: to treat the runway as a living cultural record and give it the attention a researcher would.

Manchal leads the project's vision and editorial direction, from which fashion weeks we cover to how our vocabulary describes a look.
