Fashion Trends

Fashion is a reflection of the times which is why trends come and go. Trends have more longevity and differ from fads which are fast and fleeting popular movements. The profileration of fashion trend tracking and watching is evident in the blogosphere with blogs like Fashionista and WhoWhatWear.

Fashion trends, like blogging and social media, are mirrors of society’s future behaviors and tastes. Fashion responds to how people work, live, interact and socialize. These trends usually start in one large metropolitan area like New York, London, Paris, etc. and move to suburban and smaller communities. The fashion industry actually has a segment of experts whose job is to stop trends. They watch people in all areas from downtown to uptown and find similarities. From there, these individuals generally begin to see a movement that spreads like a slow wildfire burning through the woods. The results are a few signature looks that are the synergies of lifestyle attitude.

Fashion trends envelop colors, fabrics, silhouettes, lengths and a multitude of other variables. Designers tend to work at least a year to two out from market and showcase their predictions in fashion weeks held at leading cultural meccas like Paris, London, New York and others throughout the world.
