GLOBAL VOICE 15. VIVA MAGENTA I was in the fashion industry for 15 years and travelled the globe shopping for trend 3x a year, Tokyo, London, Milan, Berlin etc. Trend hunting was my job. I’ve worked with major trend houses like WGSN, Stylus, JWT, Pantone. The one thing I’ve learned is that trends are never limited to specific periods of time and are very fluid in how they appear. Trends are revisited, altered, revised – new perspectives are added – they disappear and then they come back over and over (particularly in the fashion industry) (Russian Constructivism – 100 years old – never really goes away). Some trends take a few years to grab hold and become recognizable as popular. Some people, who may see and recognize trends early – may be mentally registering them way before other people so they may seem older to them – but not others. To many folks who have no formal training in art/design history they are totally new. I can never assume the knowledge base of my audience. I hope you are inspired.

    1. Thanks for the time stamps! I put the list in the description – but not the stamps – plus YouTube’s AI does chapter stamping now automatically which is helpful too!

    2. @Philip VanDusen Thank you infinitly for this annual list, I wait every year to discover the new trends in one beautiful recap.
      Cheers from an old follower🤞

    1. Hey vjcuba! Thanks so much for checking out my trends video again this year! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. Keep tuning in!

    1. Hey Silvia! Thanks so much for checking out my video! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. Keep tuning in!

  2. These are great inspirational trends! Thank you for sharing Philip. These give me much to think about and implement in my daily designs. Trend no. 10 or Geosimplicity reminds me a bit of Massimo Vignelli and his designs of the 1970’s and 80’s and his great New York City subway maps. As you say, new trends aren’t really new just reimagined. Love your vlogs, Merry Christmas to you!

    1. Andy Czech, You’re very welcome. Be sure to check out the other videos in my catalog. There’s tons of great stuff there!

  3. Kind of elitist to dictate trends en masse, isnt it? What kind of designer actually listens to this and thinks ‘oh… Looks like I need to design this way for the next little why, doesn’t matter if this look doesn’t fit the purpose…’

    1. spoken like a younger artist. I remember thinking like this. Once you get older and have been a starving artist for awhile youll understand why this video is so important. At some point its in your best benefit to give up thinking about elitism.

    2. You are conflating ‘dictating’ and ‘reporting’. If you listened to how I introduced the video you would understand I am not suggesting mimicking these trends with no strategic rational for using them. No designer worth their salt would do that. But understanding what is happening in the design industry and the prevailing aesthetics being used is important for any true professional.

    1. abra, Thanks so much!~ Can you do me a favor as a small thank you? Please share my video with a friend or two! I’m trying to build my subscribers. More to come!
