Shared Situation Awareness -Trend Forecasting

What is a shared situation Awareness?
A teams ability to recognise a pattern in a fluid situation and to use this information to anticipate what might happen. (Opinion formers)

3 steps to the process:
  • Observe the raw data – market clustering, how you see is different to other opinion
  • Spot patterns to form hypothesis as to how the situation might unfold – have they got a similar ideology? Do they share the same beliefs?
  • Test the hypothesis – more than one options
Fords & Trafalgar’s
  • Fords something which is easily accessible, idea that fits into the moments, and idea that is sold quickly (fast-fashion) – there to sell quickly
  • Trafalgar slow fashion, idea evolves slowly over time – develop over seasons (designer will touch on time and time again: theme that they are revisiting) e.g. Vivienne Westwood touches on 18th century British fashion constantly
Bubble up or Trickle Down?
  • Bubble up: trends emerge from the street and enter fashion to work their way up
  • Trickle down: conceptual dress, designers who’s clothing may be difficult to interpret and understand – who are the opinion leaders so Zara looks a lot like designers Celine etc. (watched and distilled designers to simplify for fast-fashion or high street at more affordable prices)
