Before going into class I had gone through the material provided to prepare for the class thus I had a good understanding of what fashion forecasting was and what a fashion bio does and this thus aided me in better understanding what was taught in class.
In the first part of the class, we were explained what trend forecasting is and were also introduced to WGSN. which I found quite interesting and fascinating, we were also explained how to use it and access it through our UAL credentials. We were then asked to make mood boards on one of the hashtags out of the various ones provided. in the first half of the class. Which I was excited about because it is one of my strong suits and I like creating them. Before we got to work on them we were shown some examples and shown how it portrays an aesthetic, we were also explained how hashtags work and why they are important as well as how to make mood boards which proved to be quite helpful. I partnered up with my friend Clara for this class activity and the hashtag we chose was garden party because the themes related to the hashtag were similar to the vibe we wanted to go for as well as being bright and colourful.
