My passion for fashion forecasting began years ago when I was a Fashion Merchandising student and a guest speaker came to visit my Trend Forecasting class. Upon enrolling in the 8-week class, I knew it would be my favorite. As an avid shopper, stylewatcher, and reader of fashion magazines, I was always fascinated by the trendspotting/forecasting/reporting aspect of the fashion industry. During the brief trend forecasting presentation, it was as if a light bulb turned on and illuminated the path to my dream job. The chance to travel around the world to photograph inspirational people, cities, and objects (and put trend reports together) seemed very exciting to me. At the time, I had not traveled much internationally, and it sparked in me an intense desire to see more of the world. I was persistent in pursuing work in the field, and landed an internship with the guest speaker who came to my class. Although I'm no longer working as a trend forecaster, I graduated with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and valuable experience working in my dream job. Since then, I've shopped, photographed store windows, visited museums, and photographed street style in cities such as London, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Austin, Texas. I feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel, and I'm excited about visiting new cities and countries in the future.
Fashion Trend Guide was born out of my desire to share my passion for fashion, my shopping experiences, travel photos, and my love of photography with readers around the world. I recently read this article which reminded me not to lose sight of my dream of working as a fashion forecaster, and that is why I'm going to pursue it once again. Life is too short to not be doing what you love! So that's why I'm enlisting the help of anyone who reads this...
If you know of any fashion forecasting/trendspotting/reporting positions or companies in the Western United States, I'd love to hear about them. I'm perfect for the job and I have a resume ready to go!
