Project overview
Students are to develop a two-year fashion forecast (for the year 2023) for a major fashion forecasting company. This report will focus on one category (for example: men’s, women’s, children) and one type of fashion product (trench coat, day dress, ski wear, etc.). From this you will select and analyze THREE different trends. Research Fashion forecasting is a visual and process, and relies on intuition as much as quantitative analysis.
research overview
Fashion is a global business sector, which is having to come up with answers and solutions for a range of challenges and opportunities; sometimes planned, sometimes spontaneously, often at a company rather than sector level. Yet is now the time to think, and act, more strategically? Are these now more a hindrance than a help to serving the needs and desires of fashion’s consumers? I chose to focus on Culture and Diversity: Representation of Muslims in Fashion.
