Background on the Fashion Census

Dubbed the “Fashion Census," it is the first market research study of its kind that attempted to accurately survey the needs of the fashion and retail industry in Washington, D.C.  By launching this survey, GWFCC's goal was to gauge the size of the industry and identify the resources that are needed to support this emerging creative economy. Data collection for the Fashion Census took place from February 2009 through May 2009.  By compiling the results of this report, GWFCC will be able to use the Fashion Census to effectively lobby for the needs of the local Fashion Industry!!

GWFCC is dedicated to growing, strengthening, and promoting the fashion and retail industry in Washington, D.C.  By taking the time to fill out this survey, participants provided us with the critical data we need to draft the industry needs assessment and complete a fashion industry feasibility plan, both of which will be used as an advocacy tool to demonstrate the need for dedicated resources to support our industry as an emerging creative economy in Washington, D.C.
