Let's also not forget that as soon as something hits the catwalk, and thus finds itself featured on WGSN, the chances are that the colour and fabric direction were settled upon at least 12 months previously anyway by a forecaster. WGSN has never been something to base design upon, it's more of a tracking service for refining design. Well said Fiona.

The problem is that at £140,000,000 Emap may have overpaid for the service. Companies such as www.mpdclick.com and stylesight have created a similar service for a fraction of the opperating costs, a saving that has been passed on to the subscriber using these alternative services. WGSN no longer has this market to themselves and the other online fashion intelligence websites like mpdclick are likely to become an ever larger thorn in WGSNs side.
