Trend Beacons
An in-depth look at the hidden world of Trend forecasting, explaining how Trend Forecasters forecast two years into the future. The Trend Beacons explain what makes trends emerge and how businesses need to decide when to enter the wave and ride it. A wrong decision costs a lot of money.
The RAVAGE duo, Christine Boland and David Shah are the protagonists of the film. We see how they develop a forecast and work on their Trend Forecast, interacting with the World news and consulting their clients. At the end of the film we see an actual forecast that can be compared with emerging fashion and design items.
Trend Beacons is a tour de force into a hidden world that affects everybody on a daily basis, but almost no one knows about. Enter the rabbit hole of fashion and design, look at the smoke and mirrors and exit on the other side. A visually stunning, in-depth documentary that entertains and educates at the same time. You will never look at the fashion and design industry in the same way, after seeing this documentary. Fashion and design affect everybody, every day of their life. Most people are clueless about how these things work – how trends emerge to make their creators a lot of money.
