Fashion Forecasting is a specialized field within the fashion industry that involves the prediction of future fashion trends. It encompasses the study of emerging styles, the evolution of fashion tastes, and the analysis of cultural and social influences on fashion. This field intersects with Fashion Journalism, which is the communication and commentary on fashion trends, designers, events, and news. Both these sectors are essential components of the broader Fashion category, which refers to the production, marketing, and consumption of clothing, footwear, accessories, and beauty products.
