Question

factors which influence fashion

Answer 1

Factors That influence the fashion:
Economy
When the economy is down, people feel pessimistic about their lives. The colors they tend to gravitate to have a dirty, muddy undertone. When people feel optimistic, they will tend to gravitate to cleaner, clearer colors.
Apparel
Forecasters watch which colors, prints and textures people are wearing. They know if people are comfortable wearing a trend, they might also be comfortable living with it.

Forecasters generally watch women's fashion. Think of your favorite department store and how much floor space is devoted to women's fashion as opposed to the men's department. Women are the trendsetters for fashion as well as being the colorful creature in fashion. Citrus greens have been a fashion statement on and off the runway for women.
Although it's generally women's fashion that sets the trends, we do watch men's fashion, specifically men's ties. Remember years ago ties had little prints, for example foulards, geometric and paisley? Well at that time those were the same prints that were popular for the home. Today's ties are more stylized, colorful and contemporary and so are our fabrics for the home.
TV and Movies
Trends are influenced by what people watch on television or at the movies. You can be influenced in color, style or design.
World Events
When the world's eyes are on a particular area, it will eventually affect the home fashion arena. Let's look at two current trends.
Art
Forecasters watch touring exhibits. These art exhibits are generally viewed by large numbers of people. When people like the artist and his or her style, it might affect them and how they live.
There it is... the trends in a nutshell. How long does a trend last? Generally seven to eight years. By knowing what influences the trends, you can make a more educated guess as to what will be a trend and what will be a passing fancy. The "look" is up to you. Make it personalized, make it warm and comfortable — make it you!
