Editathon banner:{{WIR|138}}

This October we are focusing on women in fashion; covering designers, educators, editors, tailors, models, bloggers, innovators and women's clothing in general.

Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women in all fields of fashion around the workd, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most prominent women
• to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
• to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
• to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)

What else?

• Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you create this month, and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.
• This essay on creating women's biographies and ourTen Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.
• If you tweet about any of the articles, or upload any of the images to Pinterest, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

We have red-link lists on women from all relevant fields, which can be found in ourredlist index. A selection of those which might be most useful for this priority is listed below.
