The Origins of Trends: Why They Matter and WGSN’s Top Picks for 2025
As a fashion director, I see trends as more than fleeting waves—they are cultural barometers that reflect the collective psyche of society. Trends reveal what people value, fear, and desire at any given moment, making them a fascinating study in human behavior. My role is to interpret these signals and translate them into compelling stories, designs, and experiences that resonate with consumers. Whether it’s the rise of therapeutic laziness as a response to burnout or the nostalgic pull of the “Forever Young Adult” movement, trends are deeply rooted in our need for connection, escapism, and self-expression. For me, trends are not just about following the crowd—they’re about understanding why the crowd is moving in a particular direction and leading them somewhere new.
The beauty of trends lies in their ability to unify creativity and commerce. As a director, I’ve witnessed how aligning with the right trend can transform a brand, making it culturally relevant and commercially successful. The trick is balance: staying ahead of the curve while ensuring the brand’s identity remains intact. I’m particularly inspired by how today’s trends, like the rise of AI companionship or the global pantry movement, blend innovation with emotional depth. These shifts challenge us to design with purpose and sensitivity, showing that trends are not just about what’s next—they’re about what’s meaningful. Ultimately, my perspective on trends is guided by one principle: the best trends don’t follow—they inspire.
