    funny thing, even if you do something really distinctive, it will probably play into some trend somewhere

    ok I agree with fashion is a way of expressing our individuality and designers do limit themselves by following a trend that is already pre-planned by the forecasters however my understanding is that by doing so fashion forecasting helps the big to small brands by laying out a foundation on what is and is not in trend which is basically marketed to the public via influencers and celebrities

      That's... The point? Their job is to make clothes desirable in order to sell more? Clothing can be used to express, but fashion is no more than a scheme

    Well, their “norm core” is what we call “Core” trends in fashion because they are essentially classics that return every season successfully. So, that project was pointless. Only people that work in trend forecasting will understand what he actually just did. As I look at that mock-up layout, there are core colors. Now if they did an actual fashion trend analysis (not classic or core) his layout would be different.

      it doesn’t make sense that he is so frustrated that the fashion industry isn’t based on individuality but mass production when probably the majority doesn’t search for it? Many want to dress like everyone else or want to dress “boring” bc they feel safe while not standing out. Its hard being an innovator when you’re being viewed as weird, something most people fear to an extent. Fashion has definitely been a tool for self expression but that doesn’t only individuality more often than not its about social status.

    I`m glad that almost no one is watching this. You should not talk about a topic that you do not understand completely. What about the tools used, about the cool hunters, about the emergent movements that are influencing the market, about the small brands that are innovating. Of course that mass market companies are influenced by WGSN, Trendstop, etc, however the streets and the movement of the world is influencing our and their decisions. I think that is really sad that you cannot understand that is a bivalent relation.

      I think what he meant to say is that, as compared to previous generations, the market is becoming more and more generic. I think he does understand the topic to a certain degree, as do you, but from different perspectives. Companies are growing larger by the day, and the bigger they get the more insurance they need to have, hence, the reliance on WGSN and other trend forecasting agencies. His point in the video talks about how trend prediction is killing individuality by placing more importance on marketing than design. Small innovative brands that thrive rely heavily on marketing, without which, they will be irrelevant to the current hyper-informative era. You are saying that trend forecasters and movements have a bivalent relationship; but, I don't see how that is contradictive to what he is saying. By taking ideas and spreading that into the mass market; doesn't that make something less brand-relevant, doesn't it kill the idea of individuality? Also ps; I think he meant to direct the message to the people who are actually taking the lion share of the fashion business, a.k.a, the successful fashion businesses.
