In the dynamic world of fashion and design, standing still is not an option. Professionals in the fashion industry must continue to develop to remain relevant and to grow their brand or career. But how do you ensure that you stay in an industry that is constantly changing? In a recent podcast we spoke with experts about the importance of lifelong learning and the opportunities for creative professionals. We also talked about a very important skill: trend forecasting.
“In this rapidly changing world, following trends is almost impossible,” said Culturul Insight Director Pernille Kok-Jensen of Mare. Trends seem to come as fast as to go but those who follow trends will stay in the mediocre.
It is important that you can strategically recognize and identify trends. In this way you keep running in your designs and concepts. This skill is the basis for modules such as Design Principles, Experience Design, Visual Storytelling, in which trends are translated into specific skills.
An important insight from the conversation is that knowledge alone is not enough – it is all about the right application. The fashion industry is evolving at lightning speed due to technological innovations, changing consumer trends and sustainability requirements. That means that fashion designers, stylists and entrepreneurs should not only tighten their creative skills, but must also make decisions strategic.
At Artemis Academy we understand this challenge. That is why we offer Up-Skill modules that are specially designed for creative professionals. Industry transcends, which challenge you to stay curious.
