A trend is the direction in which something moves and has a consequential impact on the culture, society, amd business. This doen't have to be just clothes, it can be banking, textiles, artist movements. It happens over all areas of the media on websites, magazines, books and catalogues; however the best ones to look at are the websites and the magazines because they change the fastest and are the most up to date.
There needs to be in our work a focus on creating a concept towards the new and the next. The ways inwhich forecasters go about this is through mindmaps (making links between what is going on all round the world), skethbooks, moodboards (adding detail to an idea through different meduim visuals), titles/words, or a visualisation (the desired shape or form of something).
The best way to come with fresh and new ideas is to look at photography and art, not other textiles artists for your inspiraton as it will alsways be in some way linked to them. There should also always be a large emphasis on colour and pushing of the boundaries of what you enjoy and are comfortable with.
Moodboards are an amazing way of communicating ideas of colour, texture, technique and even fastenings. It is good to have your own images be it photographs or drawings, found visualisation and even real material so as to fully put foreward how you want something to feel/look.
The way we should percieve artist inspiration is to see it as something which has already been done, and therefore something which you do not want to do. We should always be pushing on from the inspiration we find, because once we have done something, and people have seen it, it's old.
How will this be affected in the future? The idea of something being old as soon as it has been done. Will that be possible in the future? Or will it just slow down so each decision and new idea is worked on for and longer period of time to have been fully considered.
