The Fashion Office
About The Fashion Office
Stylesight's The Fashion Office houses Forecasting & Reporting in a service like no other.
This office is an editorial workshop that brings clarity to the fast paced environment of change we inhabit, crystallizing key messages that are tomorrows trends and colors for the Spring / Summer and Fall / Winter seasons. Our deadlines are as demanding as they are immediate because the world is always moving forward.
Within this workshop our venerable trend professionals analyze and make sense of the thousands of new images in Stylesight's Image Library. Stylesight's trend team probes, edits, checks and crosschecks emerging fashion signals and translates these into concise, clear and accurate messages that are actionable. The team communicates these messages through carefully crafted color and fashion trend boards aimed at busy creative professionals.
With an eye on Women's, Men's, Youth Culture, Children's, and Interiors, our trend boards cut to the chase, delivering precision messaging validated with supporting key images, providing clients with the critical insight they need to know about what is, and what is going to be, driving the marketplace.
Forecasting & Reporting provides clients working in creative product development with the content and the tools to empower the process, making it faster and more effective.
Our "Whats New" offers quick and effective access to all of the most current Stylesight forecasts, bundled and streamlined into one quick and easy find.
