FUTURE TRENDS

INTRODUCING A NEW WAY OF FORECASTING

At WGSN we’ve created a new way of forecasting trends based on our users’ feedback. Our trend forecasts – which you can now find
under “Future Trends” – will be organised into four categories to align with your planning and development. Plus, all of the insight will
be ready for you to put into action more than a month earlier.

ONE THE VISION

Our first look at the season – published 24 months ahead of in-store arrival – features the high level cultural
influences that make up the 4 major themes of the season. These are then mapped against 6 seasonal drops to show
you how our insight translates to product.

WHAT’S NEW
• Each Vision report will feature much more fashion-focused styling to link with the coming forecast
• More trends mapped to seasonal retail drops to inform your entire planning process

TWO FIRST VIEW

To meet the different production cycles of our clients, we’ll be publishing early views into key colours, textiles, and
materials and mapping them back to our Vision to give you a holistic view of the season and the tools to translate
them into your products.

Global Colour, Regional Colour, Colour by Gender, Materials & Surface, Denim Textiles, Footwear & Accessories -
Solid Materials, Hardware & Details, Leather & Non-leather and Key Items (all categories)
