Corrections

The shadesandseasons website is committed to accuracy. When an error is identified in our reference pages, our policy is to correct it, not to delete the article. A substantive correction will be noted at the foot of the relevant page. This note will state what was amended and the date on which the change was made. The original text is not retained, as our pages are living documents of fact.

A correction is made for a substantive error of fact. This includes incorrect dates for a fashion week, the misattribution of a trend to a particular season, or an erroneous detail about a brand’s retail strategy. Minor typographical errors or grammatical mistakes are fixed as part of routine maintenance and do not receive a correction note.

Readers can report a potential error by contacting us. To ensure we can investigate efficiently, please provide the full web address of the article and quote the exact claim you believe to be incorrect. We will review all reports against our source material. Our expected turnaround for investigating and implementing a substantive correction is within five working days.

The facts on our reference pages are sometimes amended because the world changes, not because an initial error was made. For example, a retail brand may cease trading, a fragrance may be discontinued, or an artist may change their professional affiliation. In such cases, the page is updated to reflect the new reality. A correction note is added only if our page was inaccurate during the period before the real-world change occurred.
