  • How To Create An Anti-Trend Fashion Brand

    with Charlie Bradley Ross
    Summary

    Fashion is fast; trends change quickly. With new trends appearing on the scene every season, we have to frequently update our wardrobes to keep up. Fast-fashion design labels like Top Shop and Primark introduce hundreds of new designs every week. Customers hardly have a chance to wear a new purchase before it feels outdated. These super-trendy clothes are then quickly disposed of. This is not just because they are no longer cool, but also because they aren't sustainable due to low quality and craftsmanship.

  • How Trends Impact Fashion Brands

    with Charlie Bradley Ross
    Summary

    Crucial to our understanding of the market and our customer’s preferences, trends drive every industry in the world. And nowhere else can the direct correlation between trend forecasts and decision-making be seen more clearly than in the fast-paced world of fashion.

    Even the words “trend” and “fashion” are synonyms of the other, denoting a surge in popularity for a particular product, style, or behaviour. Throughout the history of fashion, experts have debated the direction of influence in the phenomenon of clothing trends - does cause and effect work in a “trickle down” or a “bubble up” motion? Are designers influenced by what they see on the streets, or do people make their choices based on what they see in fashion marketing and stores?

    Whatever direction you believe this influence moves in, the driver for changes in trends is an underlying power to shift opinion, and in time, encourage people to take action. Brands with the ability to predict what might cause the shift will, therefore, give themselves a competitive edge.

  • Trends within sustainability

    with Charlie Bradley Ross
    Summary

    It’s almost impossible to open a fashion magazine or read a fashion blog today without seeing a mention of the “sustainable fashion trend”. And although we know that this is one trend that is NOT a trend, we can see micro-trends within sustainable design. 

    Within this wider new-found love for sustainable and ethical goodness, there is constant learning and discovery; things that seemed sustainable last year may be found to be harmful later. To take a recent example, bamboo was heralded as a super-eco fibre, but news released about the not-so-ethical manufacturing practices of some bamboo fibres, meant makers started to move away from that fibre in search of something else. There are lots of similar “movements” in response to new data, so I thought we could take a look at some of the current and most popular ones.

  • How to encourage customers to consume more responsibly

    with Rachele Gonzaga
    Summary

    There is no doubt that to make an impact in this industry, we need to advocate for responsible consumption. Some may think that to have a fashion brand and ask your customers to shop responsibly is a conflict - I couldn't disagree more. There are many examples of successful brands pushing sustainability forward. And those who fight for the cause are more genuine, authentic brands that build long-lasting, trusting relationships with their customers.

    We were delighted to welcome Rachele Gonzaga, part of the Corporate Social Responsibility team at Swarovski and sustainable stylist moonlighter to discuss how she encourages her clients to shop in line with their values, and how brands can help people to see sustainable fashion as an aspirational lifestyle choice.
