We did do a story a while back about a Wikipedian in Italy who was editing the history of major fashion houses: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/03/16/italian-fashion-history-virginia-gentil...
This also could be of interest to Wikiprject Fashion (if I believe they are still around).
This was one of the insights gleaned:
"Of course, the spikes since 2013 have been less pronounced and a gradual trend downwards in visits. This is surprising given the increasing interest in fashion that has occurred over the past five years. This same downward trend also exists in Google search volume on fashion related requests over the past few years."

I'm not sure there's enough meat to this to warrant writing for the blog, though if we can get some fashion-minded folk interested they might be more able to add more context?

I love this. Can we possibly a) reach out and write a more accessible story for the blog? b) pitch to the fashion (Refinery29, perhaps?)
Also, someone needs to tell Lisa Martinez ;)

A cool, if a bit technical, blog post from data analyst Abraham Mathew about Wikipedia statistics during Fashion Weeks.
The original post is on Abraham Mathew's personal blog: http://mathewanalytics.com/2015/08/03/wikipedia-and-the-fashion-weeks-a-look...
It was also syndicated to popular R blog Rbloggers: http://www.r-bloggers.com/wikipedia-and-the-fashion-weeks-a-look-at-usage-pa...
Advice on which to use would be appreciated :)
