For this week's session, we reviewed the trend forecasting handbook on The Diffusion of Innovation Curve Review and presented it in class. The main focus here was to understand the speed of adoption follows a bell curve which the graph that seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread. 

The Diffusion of Innovation Curve 

 
Prediction of Upcoming Trends

Modern concept 

I have few ideas in mind for my trend prediction based on modern concept such as modern romanticism, fetishism, comfort, naturalism and charism.

Therefore, I started my research with modern living patterns. 

The modern living has a number of advantages which includes high standards of living by the new development of high technologies. On the other hand different modern life style patterns effects a personal differently on their health physically, socially, and psychologically. 

The modern ways of living is high intake of stress. This is due to specific reasons such as the shortage of rest. Lack of physical activity leads to health issues. Frequently using of modern technology is the way of modernity. Although use of these machines has its pros and cons.

Furthermore, high demand of comfort increased stress level and depression. 

The need for modern comfort is conveyed through nostalgia with inspiration originating from the eighties and soft colored pastels.
 
I think comfort can be conveyed through oversized outerwear with fur and use of quilting.
