RESETTING THE FUTURE
>2018 will be a juxtaposition of tech dependence and self-reliance. Code-to-cure technologies will transform the healthcare and wellness-related industries, but will not replace the importance of physical activity, as strong becomes the new healthy. Smart fabrics will shake-up the apparel industry, but will not replace the need for tactile materials. New apps and social networks will further global relationships, but our most important connection will be with nature.
RESETTING OURSELVES
>The speed of technology is erasing traditional identifiers, allowing people to redefine age, gender, body image, and even ethnicity. In a future where people can be whoever they want, old demographics will become obsolete, and more fluid ones will rise in their place, forcing designers and companies to rethink what they make, and how they sell it.
RESETTING BUSINESS
>A new industrial revolution is underway, driven by the consumer demand for corporate accountability. Sustainability will no longer be a buzzword but an expected business practice, energised by small steps that can make a large impact.
RESETTING TECHNOLOGY
>Technology will be the great unifier, allowing for the formation of global youth tribes, driving borderless micro-economies, establishing refugee safe-zones, enabling greater house-to-human interaction, and innovating materials infused with
human ingenuity.
RESETTING DESIGN
>Design will be less about designing things and more about designing systems and experiences. Design-to-order will be the new order, increasing customer creativity and decreasing unnecessary production. When goods are produced, they will be designed for the greater good: sustainability will become sophisticated and we will purchase beautiful, conscious products for life, not labels.
>>
>>11572883
RESETTING ENVIRONMENTS
>As the tech-connected home finally gets a heart, with the emergence of more intuitive and human-centred innovations, the desire for nesting will be intensified. Everyday spaces and products will have a warm, tactile quality. Sleep will increasingly be viewed as a resource, and celebrated as a place of wonder. Moments of solitude will be embraced and sought after, rather than avoided.
RESETTING NATURE
>New technologies allow us to view our planet like never before. Ranging from micro to macro viewpoints, our new Earth perspectives will challenge our existing relationships with nature, resulting in a fierce desire to reconnect, protect and inspect the world we live in. We will see nature in a new light, working with it as it becomes a recognised part of the design process.
RESETTING VALUE
>Lack of economic trust, the rise of mobile connectivity and a conscious consumer demand for business transparency is changing the value proposition, both in the purpose of an item and its monetary worth. This new value system will be based more on ethics, product life-cycles and emotional, not financial, gain.

>>11572983
No, they're just trend forecasts for the upcoming Fall / Witner 2017 season from WGSN, a trend forecasting subscription service.
>>
Alright that's it for now, nobody here really seems interested in what actually goes on in fashion

>>11573023
Thank you so much for the link! Please post more if you have time. There are people here who appreciate your contribution )

What's interesting is how closely all of this resembles the Japanese fashion scene over the past few years. Like mostly there's just been pockets of brands who revolve around each of these specific inspirations.
>>
>>11573023

>>11572871
I've definitely been feeling it. The world is just "ON" 24/7, people are confused and looking for meaning amidst the ever increasing speed of things. Feel like there's going to be a slowing down or stepping away of some sorts.
>>11572935
This is interesting, always been into newsboys and early 1900s workwear, love Paul Harnden, etc. Would love to see it come back with a twist.
>>11572941
First time I noticed this was Vetements using the rubberised picnic tabletop fabric a few seasons ago. Corduroy been seeing a lot too. It's so much about juxtapositions of textures nowadays.
>>11572949
>>11572955
Feeling it
>>
It's all about fabrics and color palettes, there's no big swing in fashion, just small additions pilling up

>baggy pants fucking everywhere
>>
>>11573407
You only think that because we've been on a skinny pants cycle, nothing wrong with baggy if it fits the silhouette
or unless you're a non-sasian manlet then it looks bad
>>
>>11572843
>>11572852

Yea, can we get a link to the PDF pls and tanks u

Everything you posted is artificial bullshit, post something interesting and natural, not any of this Corporate crap
>>
>>11572843
That timeless design thing is what I've been talking about for some time, there's no worrying about looking dated these days.

They gonna come back big, it's inevitable - even double breaks on suits/work wear
>>
Downloaded, and gonna read the whole thing at work. I already kind of disagree with some things (they're hyping 2018 as the god damn fashion apocalypse where everything changes forever, though it seems kinda unlikely that twenty or even five years from now people will look back and say "Yeah, 2018, definitely the pivotal year, you really can divide human history into pre 2018 and post. That said they're selling hype and nobody would pay for "shit currently happening will continue with these variations") but it looks like a good resource anyway. Thanks for posting something other than meme garbage arguments.

>people like dressing like shit on purpose because "muh fayshun"
>>
>>11573746
Just because you aren't aware of the scope of things going on, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. If you're an informed follower of fashion, these things would make very much sense to you, they are simply progressions of things that have been going on for a while.
>>
>>11573837
The reports encompass main ideas and movements, revolutions don't happen overnight. The reports are meant to cover the forefront of these things, and the collections / products / services that reflect these movements come afterwards, then it trickles down and maybe 3-5 years later the masses will have fully caught on. You don't take them at face value like that.
>shit currently happening will continue with these variations
That's what they are selling, and lots of people pay for it. It's very very helpful from the creatives / industry perspective.

/thread

>>11573746
Way to literally react the way they're saying people are going to be reacting lmao.
>>
>>11572949
rehashing now-defunct trad magazine staples is not going to be a new trend
cuz it happened
and it's already dead
rip free&easy
>>
>>11573813
they might, probably in a different style but not like in the fucking early 2000's when there were baggy ass jeans because everyone treid to act manly and called people gay for wearing slim and skinny jeans

Read the thread
>>11573023
Posting for interest.

>>11573018
They could've just said "90s streetwear juggernauts are gonna blow up" not "we're gonna make up a subculture and it'll probably backfire until we start stocking SSUR and Milkfed at Target"
>>
i had this missus who was a fashion designer and this is exactly the kind of retarded airhead shit she'd come up with
this is good as a school project or something

Trends refers to shit plebs eat up. All trends start out as things enthusiasts are sick of. See the popularity arc of zombies and what shit with zombies looked like at various points in that arc if you still don't get this.
>>
>>11574319
There's like....an actual timeline of the zombie trend?
>>
>>11574339
I'm not aware of a nice infographic or anything but just think about how popular they were and with who and what the result was. If you really want a graph I'll make one when I get home from work because computer.
>>
>>11574362
>I assume you want to see an infograph
I assume you're underage
>>
>>11573098
well said.
/fa/ is inundated with trends and ideas that are far from fresh and that fail to deliver value.
Threads like these with robust, informative content is a return to form.
Continue to post more or at least compile a mega. I'd be happy to share this in the future
>>
Are you going to post the pdf?
>>
>>11574280
yep u can tell they got some unpaid intern fashion school grads to whip this shit up just look at these titles
>soft industrial
>home workwear
>1950s interiors
>new mod
>the outsiders
>going underground
>minimal retro
>modern opulence
>luxury lounge
>dressed-up team kit
>Valet parking
>nowhereville
>LA pool powl
real trend forecasting uses actual data like google analytics
>>
>>11574657
>>11574280
did you guys watch the normcore trend analysis/forecast a couple years ago? this is the exact kind of shit the industry does. hard data has its place but it's not as predictive as eyes on the streets and inside fashion houses.
>>
>>11572949
>>11572955
time to start pre-gaming on these two
>>
>>11573023
yea no more of that shit lol. nobody will ever dress like those pictures haha. so gay
>>
>>11574701
lel that shit lasted exactly 3 months before disappearing
if anything it's a testament to how worthless these subversion instruments are for mass marketers who would barely have the time necessary to build any kind of associations
>>
>>11574983
>not recognising the business from normcore like NB is still being eaten up
>>
nice thread, pls keep it alive
>>
>>11575459
