Trend Forecasting & Swatch Development
After researching current fashion, lifestyle, and textile trends, I implemented my own forecast into a fifteen swatch collection
The swatch collection contains a range of work including embroidery/embellishment, fabric dyeing, fabric manipulation, crochet, and digital repeats
Final Collection
Post pandemic, Gen Z has faced a increase in poor mental health and
lack of human interaction. While the majority of jobs still offer the
option to work from home, Gen Z has taken a new approach to how
they define fun. This generation, unlike any other, has prioritized their
experiences and leisure. While focusing on how to make themselves feel
better and escape the worries of the world, we have turned to
travelling. Gen Z travels for some of the same reasons as prior
generations, like relaxation, to get away, or spend time with friends and
family. However, we differ in a sense that Gen Z also chases an
adventure and centers travel around cultural experiences and better
mental health.
The tropics offer the best of both worlds, peaceful thinking with a mind
at ease and a rich center for cultural embrace.
