DIY Fashion is Coming!

Academy of Art University Fashion Week just ended. But it was amazing while it was here. We got to hear from Lidewij Edelkoort of trend union. She is a leading trend forecaster. So we all got the inside scoop for the trends for fall 2012-2013! I can’t wait to see the trends hit the streets. But for now I will have to sit and reminisce of the presentation and order a copy of her magazine, Bloom. She also puts out a trend book every 6 months, an interior book yearly, and others.

One of the trends she mentioned trends was Do it Yourself. She spoke about how it will have bright colors, be recycled, trashy, local, inspired by art, one of a kind, hand made, and lots of threads and yarns. We have seen the rise of handmade websites such as Etsy. Also there are website and bloggers showing tutorials and steps on how to make pieces. I’m excited to see this hit the mainstream. It should be fun and scary to watch all at the same time.
