Abstract

Fashion has been categorized as a global means of non-verbal communication, television has been classified as the medium with a global communications message, and videotapes are becoming a primary documentary format for both. The International Fashion Video Library (IFVL), located in Los Angeles and a division of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) Museum and Library Foundation, is the world’s only fashion video library open to students, educators, scholars, industry, and the general public. Its purpose is to collect, organize, and preserve archival, contemporary, and futuristic videotapes which document the various facets of the fashion industry.
