Trend Forecasting - Fall 2008/2009

I attended a Fall 2008-2009 trend forecasting seminar with the Toronto Fashion Incubator. It’s a membership perk as this seminar is not open to the public. I also have access to the Womenswear trendbook at the TFI office. These books are amazing and extremely pricey.

I’m loving the ideas for Fall 2008. I took a whole ton of notes and I have to compile them.

The seminar was given by Natalie Gauthier from the company Promostyl, International Trend Research and Design Agency.

    Everyone is asking me to send them Trend Info. I cannot. If you are in Toronto you can join the Toronto Fashion Incubator and you can get access to Trend Reports and can attend the members only Trend forecasting seminar.

    Straight from WGSN 2008/9 fall winter trends:

    women’s accessories will have a magical surrealism full of mythical creatures, odd plant life and dark fairy-tale details. Celestial symbols like star, moon, sun and comet. Nouveau hieroglyphs (both ancient and digital influences) Confused? think “Tron” the movie and reused computer parts. think twisted fairytales that reference the unabridged stories of the brothers Grimm.

    1920s exotic influences with irreverent and hidden meanings full of sexual puns. Exotic Orientale and eastern symbolisms. Hearts and arrows that speak a warped sense of love from cupid.

    Scarabs scarabs scarabs - the ancient Egyptian harbinger of luck - and winged insects of all types.

    Swans, that eternally elegant forbearer of grace.

    Find cluttered and clustered bits of junk jewelry that are collaged together into fantastic metal gardens to wear.

    Iridescent gemstones and rocks of all types, and tons of crystals.

    Hope that helps. This is the same information that top designers are working from for this season, very expensive to accquire, but too juicy to not share!

    Ciao~
