NEW YORK, July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- WORTH Global Style Network, the first fully interactive online news service designed specifically for the fashion industry, launches in July in over 60 countries. WORTH is the first online service delivering international fashion news, complete with photos, video and commentary by front-row contributors from top publications directly to your desktop 24-hours-a-day.
Launching in New York and London, WORTH employs a worldwide network of top reporters covering the runway collections, seasonal trends, design houses as well as technology, trade events and textile news. The information is filed and updated daily, giving WORTH users constant and comprehensive information at their fingertips.
"WORTH is literally a godsend for the fashion industry," says co-founder Julian Worth. "This will become the premier tool for all walks of the fashion and textile industry today."
WORTH is a subscription only interactive news service accessed quickly through the Internet or WORTH's unique satellite delivery system. Members will receive in-depth seasonal trend predictions, tracking reports, market analysis, industry updates, licensing news, and resource and technical directories for men's, women's, and children's fashions and much more with the click of a mouse.
Full screen video from the catwalks in New York, London, Paris and Milan will be delivered within hours of the shows.
WORTH also provides industry job listings and City-by-City monthly fashion and lifestyle reports (with photos of shop windows and street fashions) from all the major fashion capitals of the world with insider's guides and maps to the hotels, retail outlets, shops, and restaurants.
Subscribers also have access to the most comprehensive library of seasonal and general graphics, prints and patterns created by WORTH's accomplished in-house design team.
WORTH is not only a complete up-to-the-minute multimedia information service, it is an interactive tool that provides members with a vast database of manufacturers and service providers from all over the world with direct links and contact information.
Additionally, the WORTH network joins industry executives from all over the world for live chat sessions and online forums where they can solve problems, exchange information and discuss what's hot in their city, field or store.
Founders Julian and Marc Worth, owners of a half-century old graphics and design business, said WORTH was born out of an idea to distribute their designs and artwork to a larger audience. They soon realized they could take the technology to create a much needed international fashion news service,
"It's an industry we know very well," said Marc Worth. "And we knew it was an industry that didn't have a one-stop shop for daily international news. It's been needed for years."
He's quick to point out that WORTH is not simply a Web site, but a totally focused information system specifically created for the fashion industry.
WORTH provides thousands of pages of information in a concise and easy-to-use format. The system is available in custom-designed packages with single or multi-user options. Subscribers can choose to receive WORTH via the Internet or WORTH's unique satellite delivery system, which provides instant access via dedicated broadcast. WORTH supplies all hardware necessary to satellite reception.
The Worth Global Style Network launches Monday, July 20th at the Sony Wonder Technology Lab in New York City. For more information or launch invitations please call Loving & Weintraub, 212-935-1033.
