June 1978 issue of Here & There Francine Horn's groundbreaking fashion trend report advising American retailers on the upcoming European fall collections. The only photo story in the issue "The London Collections Fall '78" is also the largest. A statistical analysis of the new styles purchased by three hundred French retail stores at the Port de Versailles exhibition breaks down the data by clothing item number of interested stores and percentage of retailers' projected budgets an unusual feature in forecasting reports. The "Retail Details" section highlights oversized silhouettes by Agnes B. and Thierry Mugler in Paris early Laura Ashley and Elle coordinates in London and separates by Max Mara and Kenzo in Milan. Both a major trade publication and a savvy ad for Francine Horn's fashion trend consultancy Here & There was an industry must-read a success due in part to her husband David Charles Horn's candid photography and provocative editorials. Like most fashion forecasting reports from the 1970s this number of Here & There is scarce in commerce and in institutional holdings. A very good example. Single volume measuring 14 x 8 inches: 94.
