Trend Forecasting and Social Media

The course offered an examination of contemporary trends in color, fiber, and fashion, and their implications for sales predictions. Students engaged in researching, analyzing, and crafting fashion forecasts tailored to specific seasons in the apparel sector. They gained proficiency in predicting forthcoming trends in color schemes, textiles, silhouettes, and surface textures, and integrating these insights into detailed trend forecasts and associated merchandising strategies. This involved creating mood boards, drafting flat sketches, and specifying product details. Additionally, students acquired the skills to translate these concepts into formats understandable by pattern makers and other industry stakeholders at the foundational level of fashion.
