Trend Prediction...

Although I don't want Predicted trends, or previously created Catwalk creations to be the basis of my collection, I am highly aware of them and would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge some predictions for the AW-07/08 Season that may be relevant.

The following are extracts from Textile View and outline some predictions from them for the AW 07-08 season:






With reference to WGSN trend Prediction, Ive looked at several of their guidelines for the AW07-08 season and have chosen "Collision" as the most appropriate for my research. This trend fuses to opposing ideas into a single, new concept. More information on this trend can be found in my sketchbook and online @ WGSN.

I also considered the formalwear garment directions predicted by WGSN for the AW07-08 season, here are some that were of interest to me:





To reiterate, I am aware of these and other forthcoming trends and am conciously choosing to avoid too much contact with them, so to avoid being influenced excesively in my ideas by them
Thanks
