Gone Are The Days Of The Ole’ Fashion Trend Board
Throw away your scissors and glue! No more towers made from stacks of glossy magazines that slightly lean over you as you search page by page for anything you can find to represent the styling concept you envision. It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack!
Finding magazine clippings of garments that properly portray the look and feel you desire is only the first step of the tedious process. Next is the ‘oh-so-fun’ part… determining the brand or designer, where it’s sold, and how much it’ll cost… for each garment.

I bring resources that will not only make your life easier, they will provide you with the opportunity to extend your reach of styling inspiration. Taking your school grade trend board to a whole new level.
LOOKBOOK.nu
LOOKBOOK.nu is the largest online community dedicated to showcasing member-uploaded “street style” photography. Also known as “LB” or simply “lookbook,” LOOKBOOK.nu is both a utility that allows members to document their evolving style & a collective gallery from which “lookbookers” and non-members can draw daily fashion inspiration. The most inspiring looks of the moment—as determined by community “hypes”—are displayed on the “Hot” page, while the most recent looks posted by reputable LB members are published to the “New” page.
Founded in 2008, LOOKBOOK.nu was created to bring together creative, interesting, and open-minded fashion enthusiasts, and to democratically recognize the talents of real people around the world. In a sense, LOOKBOOK.nu is the world’s first, truly ‘editorless’ fashion magazine.
