Although it may not always be needed, personally i prefer to have some trend research to back up my ideas and contextulaise my designs to current and future applications, thus making them usable and in demand.
Using WGSN, i researched trend in textiles and fashion for men for spring/summer 2017 - the season we are designing for. I discovered that mesh is big trend an this can be seen in stores across manchester at the moment - luckily, as a group we cottoned onto this when looking at sportswear so already sourced mesh fabrics for use for our samples.
I also noticed a strong print design that had graohic shapes and bright colours, similar to the groups samples. it mentions of inspired by urban textures - as were we.
