I had the chance to attend Lidewij Edelkoorts Trend Forum under the theme “Shopping 2012/2013”. Her work has pioneered trend forecasting as a profession. She presents the concepts, colors and materials, which will be in fashion two or more years in advance. She and the Trend Union Team orientate professionals in interpreting the evolution of society and the foreshadowing signals of consumer tastes to come, without forgetting economic reality, by creating innovative trend books and audiovisual lifestyle analysis.
Trendtablet.com is a new social media platform explaining how trends grow, evolve and flow. The site is designed and curated by Li Edelkoort and is a tool accessed for free, open to comments and contributions.
The Thing I like: Even it is very hard to define and foresee “Trends” I always enjoy these seminars full of wonderful pictures, new perspectives, ideas and concepts which inspire to design and create, look at Things in a new way…
