People often ask me what the next big trend will be, and my answer is usually, “I have no idea.” It’s a little like asking someone what the next winning Lotto ticket will be.
This question is a little irrelevant because if you’re in a creative industry, you should be creating trends, NOT following them! Only lazy artists follow trends. Today I’d like to remind us all how to be our own TRENDSETTER :
1. Trust in your ability to create. Creativity means letting yourself make mistakes. On more
than one occasion, I've made a “mistake” that turned into a trend.
2. Take your favorite clothing pieces and think of three ways you could wear it differently.
3. How many times have you seen a trend and thought, “Dang! That was my idea. I should
have done that.” Trendsetters not only come up with ideas, they also ACT on them. If
you have an idea, do it!
4. Have the courage to stand by your ideas. Some ideas come before their time.
5. Keep it simple. Great trends usually follow good old fashioned common sense. Most
people follow trends that make sense.
