The Peclers presentation last friday was one of the hghlights of the term so far. I've been obsessed with the idea of fashion forecasting since we were introduced to the books in our second week, and have been using them as inspiration and a guide for my own themeboards since.
I love the layouts of the pages and how they follow the trends through from inspiration to key looks to colour palets.
The presentation introduced us to the inspirations and trends for A/W 2009-2010 and did not disappoint. I liked the eco / green vibe from the trends and the fact that they were clearly inspired by relavant issues of modern society and not just fashion. This gave the ideas an edge to them and made you consider them in a new way.
I also loved the idea of use and reuse and the trend of well loved clothes, of quality over quantity and charity shop chic, as i think this is such a relevant trend at the moment. i think people are over the idea of throw-away fashion and want to reinvent their exisiting garments for the new season. This trend also touched upon the mixing of different cultures and becoming more aware of other cultures' fashions - "culture is what's left when everything else has been forgotten".
The presentation, other then inpsiring me, made me think about different jobs witin the industry - apart from design - and i think fashion forecasting would be a different and intriguing pathway to take.
