WGSN. Inspiration.

WGSN Inspiration.

Its important to stay in the know. When it comes to fashion, art and beauty. There are many sites available for this information. WGSN was introduced to me by my lecturer Lou. I was able to get access because Im a student which was great as the subscriptions can go up to 300 ponds per year, which is way over my student budget. This sight had trend forecasts as far away as A/W 17/18, so you can literally see what is going to be trending in 2 years time. This was great for my article, which I have to write for uni. I was able to have a look at inspo boards and see what I wanted to write about. 

I love trend forecasting, I think its a great way to be inspired and to see whats coming up in the fashion industry. They also have wonderful colours and textured mood boards which you can akso use for inspiration. 

I really wanted to see what was coming up for hair and beauty and found so many beautiful mood

boards for upcoming seasons. 

I was struck by the technical trends for hair. Zig zag partings, graphic partings, Low side partings and so many more. Also something I loved was the combing of different styles and the complicated braiding that seemed to be everywhere. This drew me in and i decided to focus on this for my final article. 

Makeup seems to have a lot on power brows and cosmic highlighters, packed with iridescent undertones. and natural stained lips with cheek stains. what seems to be coming up a lot is no fuss makeup trends. With previous makeup trends being all about packing it on, we seem to have stripped it back! Which is perfect for my Uni project as I have to choose a subject to write about and one of those was natural makeup. 

I want to create a natural makeup but use these trends in a subtle way. I think a clean makeup look with a a hint of iridescent colour with a light peachy stained lip and cheeks will be an interesting look and combo!
