The Future of Fashion: Upcoming Trends 

EXPERT PREDICTIONS 

Holly Quartaro, Fashion Stylist for Galleria Dallas:

• Consumers are going to expect instant wardrobe gratification and are going to shop at retailers who primarily focus on this expectation (Petty, 2014)

 Example of Retailers:

Emma Farrow, Topshop’s head of design:

“It is no longer about buying a garment,” she continued, “it’s about buying into an aesthetic that could be linked to music or a celebrity or the Punk exhibition at the Met." (Banks, 2014)

Trends in Fashion - Zarish Khan

Trends is fashion have been changing throughout the years and the future fashion trends can be predictable.
According to Ann Sofie Johansson, head of design at H&M:
