Macro trend boards

I decided to experiment with ideas and layout for trend boards to get a better understanding of how to create a colour scheme and how to portray a fashion trend idea without having a trend board dull of just fashion items.

After researching on WGSN i saw that metallic and iridescent fabrics are a big leading idea for future trends. So i went and attempted a few of my own collecting different pictures, looking at lectures, colours, lighting and seeing how it would all work within a fashion trend.

WGSN has so many different ideas and i led me into thinking of a few of my initial ideas that i will be expanding on and researching in a greater depth. Trends link with political issues so i looked into doing a trend connected with gender and multi gender is making its way into fashion and the new generation. Wanting to create a power focused trend to fit all genders and to build a unity.

A few of my first ideas for gender related trends. All different focus of colour and aesthetic to see what direction i wanted to go in.

I then went into looking at silhouettes and taking inspiration from current trend of 2017 of the corset making a re-appearance along with the over use of lace, i went straight to the idea of something i adore personal and that is ballet outfits. Looking at the more extreme corset but keeping such elegance and feminine feel that i think will expand and develop through the next few years with the empowerment of females.
