trend journal introduction W E E K

O N E

Throughout this journal I aim to explore and investigate key trend components allowing for me to predict colour, mood, yarns, fabrics and silhouette’s for S/S 2019 accurately. The prediction of the aforementioned components is vital in the fashion industry, keeping up with the fast paced environment set is an essential part of successful forecasting. As highlighted in the trend journal from semester one, trend forecasting is of paramount importance.

Trends can’t be avoided in everyday life, they shape our society and encompass a fascinating non-linear process. Consumers are often unaware of what they want, and can’t express their needs. It is our job as fashion forecasters to heighten our awareness of the surroundings and immerse ourselves in internal and external influences of the industry. This process allows for trends to be anticipated, giving consumers the opportunity to make the correct decision and the right time, and helping companies tap into maximum growth potential.

“Working with small brands enables us to react to new trends often before larger high-street names, and so we attract customers who are early adopters; looking for something authentic they can’t find elsewhere” (ASOS Marketplace, 2018).

ASOS Marketplace launched in 2010, with the idea in mind of creating a unique platform where vintage boutiques and independent sellers could sell their products to customers invested in this emerging sector of the market from across the world.

ASOS has created an environment like no other, reinventing and improving the trade of vintage second-hand garments. They are directly challenging multinational e-commerce spaces such as eBay and Amazon, allowing for growing boutiques and vendors to shop under an established and trustworthy brand.

Brand research W E E K

All ethically made & in extremely limited quantities

T H R E E

ASOS Marketplace celebrates small independent brands and boutiques by creating a diverse platform, emerging to provide a single space for customers to browse vintage fashion and find rare pre-owned garments.

Fundamentally, this platform is utilised as a venue for the everyday consumer to monetise their own wardrobe and recycle clothing. The versatility of the platform allows for ASOS to expand and cover a more diverse section of the fashion industry, exploring a gap in the market by branching out towards vintage and upcoming boutiques.

The longer life we give piece of clothing the better it is for the planet.

Part of the success demonstrated can be credited to the reputation ASOS has obtained through the years. Customers recognise the trustworthy retail giant and transfers these sentiments to the up-and-coming brands/boutiques, giving smaller businesses an opportunity to grow at an increased rate organically.

Many brands start from a small place, the platforms gains notable traffic and removes a long list of jobs small brands would have to complete in order to attract a similar number of customers.

further research ASOS Marketplace was launched in 2010 with merely 20 sellers (ASOS Marketplace, 2018). Since then they have grown exponentially and have created an alarming amount of competition for e-commerce giants like Etsy and eBay. ASOS Marketplace offers this venue and support to sellers with terms and conditions; boutique businesses need to fit the needs of the “ASOS 20-something consumer” (ASOS Marketplace, 2018b). This allows for the theme and structure of the website to reflect the ASOS signature, targeting a determined group of customers successfully.

ASOS Marketplace is first of all a venue, not to be confused with the workings of the ASOS Website. Users who accept the terms and conditions are given the platform to use accordingly, acknowledging that the venue has no involvement with transactions between sellers and consumers. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that customers are made aware that ASOS Marketplace is not liable for any graphics, images, information, data and texts posted by sellers. “ASOS Marketplace cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction” (ASOS Marketplace,

2018b).

The workings of ASOS Marketplace are closer to brands such as eBay, Amazon and DEPOP. The recognition of this is of greatest importance to ensure an enjoyable experience is had through the venue, customers are encouraged to read boutique feedbacks before making purchases.

top four competitors:

DEPOP

EBAY

Depop was originally set up by the co-founder of PIG magazinene Simon Beckerman. The App was initially invented to go alongside the magazine, allowing for PIG’s readers to buy items featured throughout the magazine. This element added an extra dimension, but quickly outgrew its initial purpose.

The app was consequently adapted, becoming what we know Depop to be today.

Depop is now a global marketplace where everyday consumers have the opportunity to create a small business, or merely recycle their wardrobe. The brand climate is well summarised by the next quote, found directly on their website; “this ecosystem has supported Depop becoming a global conduit of connection, not only in m-commerce, but cure, design, and creative communities around the world” (Depop, 2018).

The multinational e-commerce giant known as eBay has been dominating the marketplace industry for years now. The company was founded in 1995 by American billionaire Pierre Omidyar, developing the business to what we know today, the world’s 9th largest internet company by revenue.

The most significant difference between Depop, ASOS Marketplace and eBay is the products being sold. Although eBay is frequently utilised for the purchase of second hand, vintage clothing, the growth of the company can not solely be accredited to the selling of fashion. The aforementioned success is largely due to the versatility of the brand. The platform was created for buyers and sellers to sell or buy everything and anything (eBay, 2018), from classic cars to cosmetics.

ROKIT

ETSY

Rokit was born in London’s iconic Camden Market in 1985, selling vintage clothing and thrifting American cowboy’s denim. Since then the brand expanded into two stores around London, selling unique and on-of-a-kind garments to their loyal customers. The company’s ethos is centred around sustainability and the recycling of clothing; ‘over the past three decades, Rokit has recycled over a million tonnes of disregarded clothing and accessories’ (Rokit, 2018). Rokit works slightly differently to ASOS Marketplace, eBay and Depop.

The brand doesn’t function as a marketplace, which separates the above mentioned brands significantly.

Similarly to ASOS Marketplace, Etsy was launched as a venue for sellers to showcase unique and diverse goods. Individuality and trade are qualities which are at the heart of the company, aiming to empower creativity and give sellers the opportunity to reach customers while blossoming their own independent business. This platform is an alternative to traditional e-commerce marketplaces, spreading the ethos of sustainability and social responsibility.

According to WGSN, a recognised leader of fashion forecasting, S/S 19 will be centred around vintage looks. This indicates that styles and cuts will be inspired by the 1980s and 2000s, bringing back dressing to empower with a clean contemporary edge - “empowerment comes in different forms for S/S 19, through a return to tailoring as well as to a sassy and confident look” (Maggioni, 2018).

The return and reinvention of key styles and trends from past decades suits my target customer flawlessly. ASOS Marketplace’s audience are vintage and thrifting lovers, always looking out for refreshed throwbacks.

key findings W E E K

S I X

For the collection to be as modern and fashionable as possible, preliminary research was conducted to identify the stylish colours, patterns and fabrics for the upcoming seasons. I utilised the WGSN database to ascertain the key trends of Spring/Summer 2019 Womenswear. For colours, it was established that bright pastels are the chic hues for next season. Jewelled Purples, Sky Blue and Yellow Pop epitomise the bright pastel look that the final collection is striving for.

In terms of fabric, the emphasis for next season is on shiny sheers and the rustic dry handles, with WGSN also forecasting a major shift towards sustainable fabrics and eco innovations. Therefore, fabrics such as satins, seersucker and linen characterise next year’s projected fashion trends. This also fits well with my underlying theme of social adaption, recognising the growing demand for environmentally friendly fashion.

To combine seamlessly with the pastel colours, WGSN forecast a shift to a more artistic and abstract quality for print in next season’s styles. A big emphasis has been placed upon a ‘throwback style’ with 90s and 2000s-inspired prints being cherrypicked as a specific fashionable trend.

ASOS marketplace is a platform which celebrates vintage clothing. The fashion forecast of throwback elements such as pastel colours and the 2000s-inspired print suits the retail platform perfectly. The aforementioned throwback elements coupled with a forecasted desire for increased eco-innovations, indicates that a successful collection should be based upon these factors.

Organic Cotton

more sustainable fabrics

Traditional cotton uses an average of 5,000 litres of water per garment produced, 11% of all world pesticides are used on cotton and high areas of land in specific climates are needed for successful growth (Green Fibres, 2018). These staggering figures and statistics have sparked the need for an alternative to make an attempt at replacing conventional cotton. Organic cotton is not yet considered a viable replacement for traditional cotton on a global scale. However, only genetically unmodified seeds are utilised, no herbicides or pesticides are set in place and ethical labour standards are implemented (Moore, 2017).

Figure 74

Hemp

Hemp is considered a very environmentally friendly crop, originating from the same species as marijuana but doesn’t contain the associated high levels of THC. Due to these associations, in the 1930s the fibre was disregarded (Green choices, 2016).

Recently this fabric has been recognised as being one of the leading ecological materials. Hemp grows in a variety of climates and soils, has a faster growing rate and is naturally resistant to most pesticides (Fox, 2014).

Hemp can be mixed with other fabrics such as silk, organic cotton and wool to produce a fabric comparable to linen, fleece and denim (The Hemp Shop, 2018).

Figure 75

Bamboo

Bamboo is the most recently hyped about sustainable fibre, described as being ‘hypo-allergic, absorbent, fast-drying and naturally anti-bacterial’ (Green choices, 2016). As well as having all the aforementioned properties, bamboo grows at a favourable pace, replants itself naturally and can promote repair in eroded soil (Carter, 2008).

Figure 76

Linen

Recycled Polyester

Linen is also an environmentally friendly fabric, plant-based and produce out of flax. Flax is cultivated and produced for multiple uses, one of them being food. This traditional fibre crop uses far less chemicals and pesticides than other more traditional fibres (Martinko, 2017).

Figure 77

Polyester is one of the most used fabrics in the fashion industry, allowing companies to produce large quantities of products at an affordable price. Unfortunately, this fabric is manmade and not the friendliest to the environment.

Recycled polyester uses PET as a new raw material, an example of recycled items are the classic clear water bottles (Ross, 2015). Utilising items which would customarily be single-use helps reduce landfill and is working towards finding a second purpose for certain types of plastic. With the current plastic epidemic it is important to find a secondary purpose for the growing amount of plastic which is filling out environment.

47

Figure 78

Why is it important to the target audience

My target customer’s core values revolve around ethics and sustainability.

It is critical to extensively consider all fabric options for the product range.

Textiles such as traditional nylon, polyester and acrylic are chemically treated and have a detrimental effect on our environment, with the synthetic fibres used considered toxic. Cotton, despite being one of the most widely used fabrics worldwide, contributes considerably to deforestation and requires extensive amounts of water and pesticides.

It is of paramount importance that the collection reflects the target customers’ ethics, as this is the key factor in creating a community amongst consumers. Therefore a combination of sustainable fabrics will be utilised throughout.

48

brands that successfully use sustainable fabrics

natural fabric dyes W E E K

The dyeing process is one that has surprising, significant environmental implications. According to LaRose (2017), approximately 17-20% of industrial water pollution is owed to fabric dyes and treatments. It has also been documented that the global textile industry is responsible for discharging over 50,000 tons of dye into the water system (EFF, 2018). These statistics highlight the detrimental effect that synthetic dyes have on the environment and the need for more to adopt organic and natural methods.

Due to the target market consisting of individuals who are conscious of the environmental impacts that the clothing industry has on the world, eco-friendly dyes will be utilised to

S E V E N

Patagonia are a renowned brand that have successfully implemented a sustainable fabric into their product range. They ask for customers to return any product that is finished with and subsequently reuse it, recycle into new fabric or make a new product entirely. The company have utilised recycled polyester and manage to fashion an entire collection, as well as utilising hemp in their production too (Patagonia, 2018)

create the products. The Hemp Shop are a green organisation, everything the business does from products produced to techniques employed are naturally created and environmentally friendly (TheHempShop, 2018). The company utilise a range of organic ‘Reactive Dyes’ that are free from heavy metals and AZO’s. Furthermore, the dyes have been certified by the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (an international certification system for textile stuffs) as officially, eco-friendly (Oeko-Tex, 2018). As these dyes fit perfectly with the sustainable ethos of the collaboration and align with the target market’s expectations, they shall be utilised throughout the range.

Thought are another sustainable clothing brand that have established themselves as a successful organisation. Founded in 1995, the business firstly created a collection of men’s shirts and beachwear, all from sustainable ramie and hemp. Nowadays, the business is flourishing with over 1,000 shops selling their produce and declare themselves as industry innovators in the fashion world (Thought, 2018).

Nomads Hemp Wear is a relatively unknown clothing brand that have nicknamed themselves the ‘Pioneers of Hemp and the Organic Eco Clothing (R) Evolution’. They have a wide range of products on offer and provide sustainable clothing for both men and women. The company have led the way in utilising ecological materials such as bamboo, organic cotton and soy to fashion a stylish and appealing product range (Nomads Hemp Wear, 2018).

The unique S/S19 collection designed for ASOS Marketplace reflects the theme of social adaption by making an attempt at producing the entire collection sustainable. Our society is faced with the proliferating problem concerning climate change. This range is setting an example for other companies, showcasing how the entirely of a range can be created using environmentally friends - from fabric dyes, textiles to recycled zips and buttons.

The collection consists of sixteen unique pieces, varying in price from £29.99 to £199.99. This price variation makes the collection accessible to a wider audience, offering lower priced products such as ‘the holiday shirt’ and higher end products such as ‘the faux fur coat’. The sustainably conscious customer is willing to pay a slightly higher price for ethically produced, long-lasting garments. Although sustainable fabrics and dyes are becoming more and more popular, they are inevitably going to be priced higher than traditionally mass produced ones. This collection serves as an example to other retail giants, trendy and in-season ranges can be produced sustainably.

The theme of social adaption will inevitably take off in the near future. There is a growing demand for a societal shift towards a more eco-friendly way of living. The fashion industry is responsible for circa 300,000 tonnes of unwanted clothes sent to landfills each year, causing 26 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions through the production and the disposal process (Smithers, 2017).

These staggering figures are only due for change if sustainable and ethical fashion is more directly available to the public. Brands need to recognise this need and focus their innovations on fabrics researched throughout the journal, such as, hemp, recycled polyester and bamboo.

The unique capsule collection designed for ASOS Marketplace will catapult the trend of ethical fashion, demonstrating how mainstream brands can consider the well-being of the environment whilst also creating timeless garments. The fast fashion industry should see a decline as customers increasingly prioritise quality over quantity.
