Patterns And Prints

Patterns have been around sense the beginning of time, you can find patterns in ancient architecture, wall paintings and even some of the clothing our old ancestor wore. Egypt was the most prevalent culture that dabbled in patterns and fashion in general for that fact. The root of pattern making is all based in the ancient locations of the world. Rome, Greece, Italy all a copy of patterns that ruled the ancient world and today we use them in our fashion. Pattern mixing is seen more now than ever before we mix polka dots with solids and strips with lite patterns. Prints are what we call patterns on paper, there are tons of patterns in circulation every single day, manufactures are always looking for the next new pattern and so are the consumers. Also bleaching is really in now it's kind of like a print or pattern in a way, sometime I feel like it's way over done but I can see why because it's extremely convenient and it's looks cool.
      Patterns are defiantly going to be in especially for spring 2013, there're sure to be polka dots and floral prints everywhere. Although that will be the case certain body types can't just wear all types of prints frivolously if you're thicker of course you'll have to look out for unflattering prints and patterns, it can be very easy to think a garment is cute, and buy it just for that fact but you should always evaluate your choices in clothes while you're in the midst of shopping. Also keep in mind that prints also are in jeans and other types of pants. Again reiterating the fact that you do not have to go to these expensive shops to stay on trend. I'm sure they'll be plenty of vintage wearing dolls out in the world this spring remember (try on clothes first).

Trend Forcasting

It's funny how one day you can be wearing one thing that's totally in style and that next week it would be considered a felony in the fashion world. Trends are constantly being revaluated and twisted to make new ones, there's a lot of circulation of the same trends that have been around almost sense the beginning of time, everyday. Analyzing trends and trend forecasting are to jobs in fashion that require a lot of time and devotion, they can be both giving and unforgiving. I thought for a long time if trend forecasting is really something that I would really like to do and I thought to myself "are you ready to make big sacrifices"? Obviously I wasn't, but my advice to anyone that would like to have a job in this field be ready to do your research (and lots of it). Even when you're a stylist, makeup cynosure or anything involving urban or pop culture, you have to stay up day and night to trend watch because if you don't you'll be left in the dust. In a world of imitators and anticipators it's important that you set trends as well. you don't want to walk around looking like the next person, we were all born individuals, "so lets act like it".
         I'm in college so it takes a lot for me just to go out and go shopping sometimes, luckily I have a trend forecasting app on my phone, these can come in handy but also can be very costly. If you don't have time to watch trends these apps will send them right to your mobile device. It doesn't take a lot of money to follow trends either. I shop a lot at thrift stores and high end boutiques and I tend to find good pieces there at reasonable prices. It's all in the way that you pair your clothes together, if you're really good at it you can create a lot of different outfits and still stay on trend but that's only if you know what you're doing. This is my philosophy "trends come and go, but individuality is forever".
