The weight of these words hitting my ears is NEVER
pleasurable—until now. We all have pressures in our lives and what we want to
do when we are “older” seems to be a bigger pleasure the older we get. Where am
I going to work? How much money am I going to make? Will I still be living with
my parents? –normal questions to be asking ourselves once we hit that “I just
graduated college and still have no idea what I am doing.!” We get to this
point of balancing sending out resumes to hundreds of businesses and having
bottles of wine for dinner.
Maybe five months before my graduating University of St.
Francis, I decided that I was going to apply to the Fashion Institute of Design
and Merchandising (FIDM) in Downtown Los Angeles. I found out that I had gotten
into the program at FIDM the month I actually graduated. While moving to Los
Angeles at age 23—I STILL DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO WITH MY LIFE.
Now after being in L.A. and surrounded not only by
opportunity but the fashion of every walk of life,
I would like to say I have
found my calling.
TREND FORECASTING
Essentially—trend forecasting is analyzing events in society
and predicting the trend for the upcoming seasons. A trend forecaster takes the
economy, politics, popular celebrities, color swatches, fabrics, and hem-lines (to name
a few) and forecasts with reasoning as to why this will be trending in a year
to a year and a half out. So when we forecasting in Spring/Summer 2015—we are
forecasting for Fall/Winter 2016.
With this blog—I will be providing not only education for my
readers, but a reason why things are happening in fashion. Unless you are in the industry- there is a
good chance you know none of this…so, youre welcome.
XOXO,
Jazzmyne J.
