The Alt.Fashion Faq

 

 

This FAQ is written as a prelude to the USENET newsgroup alt.fashion. It includes consistently updated information, most of which was suggested or provided by the users of the newsgroup alt.fashion.

Many professionals in the fashion industry have included their input as well as individuals who have offered their knowledge from trial-and-error. It is meant to cover both basic and specific information about cosmetics (hair, skincare, and makeup), style, clothing, and assorted aspects of the fashion industry. Information from outside sources is noted as such.

Every attempt has been made to provide neutral, unbiased information. Most information generally available concerning products of the fashion industry is geared toward selling. Our intention is to get past the hype and determine what products really work, what clothes are really worth buying, etc. with no hidden agenda! With these bases covered, the fashionability can be addressed and true style can emerge.

Before posting, you are encouraged to read the contents of this FAQ. As fashion is ever-changing, it is understandable that certain questions will arise repeatedly, but lots of basic information is contained within this site.

Any input you care to give regarding this FAQ should be emailed to me, xxxxxxx, at xxxxx@mindspring.com. All suggestions, critiques, accolades and (most especially) information to include are very much welcome.
