How are trends in fashion formed?
What is the state of the trend cycle in the age of microtrends, niche trends, and ultra fast fashion?
What is the relationship between trends and finding your personal style?
What is the role of a trend forecaster? And what are the misconceptions surrounding trend forecasting?
In this episode, Stella Hertnatyo is interviewing fashion analyst and trend forecaster Mandy Lee — who you might know as @oldloserinbrooklyn on social media — to explore all of this, and more.
