Archive/01

Help, in detail.

A few notes on exploring the archive.

What is ARCHIVE/01?

An evolving visual index of selected runway collections, with credited photographs, available films and links to original publishers. It is not a complete catalogue of every brand or season.

How do the filters work?

Combine decade, brand, womenswear or menswear, and season. The results must match every selected filter. Reset filters to return to the full index. Some combinations have no records yet.

What do SS, FW, AW and HC mean?

SS means spring/summer. FW and AW both mean autumn/winter. HC identifies haute couture. Original collection titles, designers and publisher credits remain in their source language.

Where do the photos and videos come from?

Images are served by the publishers credited in each record. Available films use official third-party players. Follow Original source or Original gallery to consult the publisher and its usage terms.

Why is a film or image unavailable?

Media availability depends on the publisher, connection, region and embedding permissions. Not every collection has a verified embeddable film. Try the original-source link when media cannot load.

How can I explore the looks?

Open a runway record and select a photograph to enlarge it. Use the previous/next controls or your keyboard arrows. Escape closes the viewer. Show all looks reveals all images available in that record, not necessarily the entire collection.

How do I change language or reading settings?

Open Preferences using the accessibility button in the bottom corner. Choose English or Spanish, a light/dark/system theme, larger text, higher contrast or reduced motion. These choices stay in your browser; system reduced-motion settings are also respected.

How do I report an error or suggest a collection?

Use Contact and include the relevant collection URL. Messages are saved in a private inbox for the site owner. They are not sent to an external email service. An email address lets the owner reply separately; a response time is not guaranteed.
