Fashion Forecast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising presented WGSN Fashion Forecast on Feb. 14. Forecasters have key themes they call \u201cmacro trends\u201d that they use to analyze what the upcoming colors and silhouettes will be.<\/p>\n

Sally Lohan, WGSN\u2019s content director, gave the presentation on the three macro-trends for Fall\/Winter 14\/15. The first was Modern Myth, which will see a resurfacing of updated traditional patterns. Clothing will reflect intricate embroidery.<\/p>\n

Another myth is the Apocalypse and End of the World. Science fiction will become reality and fashion designs are influenced by space materials, such as metallics and colors in the blue spectrum.<\/p>\n

The third myth is Fable Seekers and it will help to create a New American Dream. People will be recording and documenting everything and genealogy will be huge.<\/p>\n

Continuing the American Dream, the next luxury for everyone will be the value of time and the ability to do one thing at a time. People will desire to tap into quiet so they can do one thing at a time. An example is Selfridges Department Store in London, which has a quiet room so customers can do this.<\/p>\n

The second major trend is the Industrial Revolution. At the turn of the century we had an explosion of mass industry, which led up to current time, where we will see a large relationship between man and machine.<\/p>\n

This trend uses bloodline, skeleton, skin, and the inside of the body for inspiration.\u00a0 This relationship between man and machines will produce a palette of colors and minimalist clothes with reinforced stitching.\u00a0 Garments will be transformed with quilting and unique folds in the fabric.<\/p>\n

The third and final trend is Rendering Reality, which will develop into a blur between real and fake. New technologies will be putting sound waves into form. The colors will be a splicing and blending of materials.<\/p>\n

These technologies will create new apps that can be downloaded so that they feel like they look real. Fabrics on apps will look like you could almost touch and feel the texture. Geometric shapes will take color blocking to the next level with RGB colors.<\/p>\n

Paula Bentel, senior account manager from WGSN, discussed their website. Subscribers will be able to see trends that will give them a look into inspiration, seasonal trends, catwalks, street shots, and a denim sections.<\/p>\n
