If
you want to be a serious player in the “rag trade” check
out apparelsearch.com. It calls itself the connecting thread
of the apparel industry. This site is that and much, much
more.
Vast in scope and precise in details, these are the highlights
of this rich, well-designed site:
• Design Studio - here they provide services for
illustration, including technical drawings, renderings
and photography; clothing production; fashion accessories
and monitoring trends.
•
Production - helps you source factories, produce
clothing and monitor quality.
•

and textile companies with qualified career-minded individuals.
It also has industry specific employment agencies on tap.

and Women’s Nightwear.

Along the left hand column
of the home page is a comprehensive listing of additional
categories. Under “Customs” we
looked up tariffs for South Africa and found it in a matter
of seconds. In the category “Message Boards” we
found over one hundred fifty additional job listings from
Atlanta to Thailand. Under “Education” there
is even a listing for the Fashion Institute of Design and
Merchandising complete with a link to the official website.
This website is not only useful but FUN as well. Take a

This monthly magazine is published in London

The March 2004 issue covered such diverse subjects
on Interiors as:

complete with livestock, situated on the roof
of an industrial warehouse in Antwerp.

Gladwyn Bush, who experienced her first “vision” at

early Eero Saarinen ‘Tulip’ table.
Other features in the March issue covered the
world of art and antiques, reviews of books on
art, architecture and design, interior design
suppliers, and current trade shows, such as London

How
Music Changed The World Through Five Decades
What guitar, purchased by George Harrison in
1964 was nicknamed “The Beatles’ secret
weapon”? In what year did Band Aid record
their Christmas single, “Feed The World”?
What was the first video ever played on MTV?
What rock icon started out life as Reginald Dwight?
The answers to these questions and many, many
more can be found in a fascinating book titled,
Rock and Pop Timeline.
Gorgeously illustrated, this book chronicles
over forty years of music history, from Elvis
to Eminem to just about everyone else in between.
The music history is juxtaposed with a healthy
dose of world history as well as pop culture.
For additional information, fun facts are added
throughout. The book is laid out chronologically
with each year divided into three-month sections
to make it very easy to use.
If you are looking for a more entertaining and
colorful way of learning about history or if
you are a devoted music aficionado, Rock
and Pop Timeline is a sure bet. One word of warning
though, bring along plenty of time. Once you
pick up this book you will not be able to put
it down!
