Essential Question

How can I predict the 2013 fall fashion trends? 




Why did you select this as your essential question?
I selected this as my essential question because, over the years I regularly read the fall issue of Vogue so I can have a heads up on what is to come that season. I am always interested to find out what designers have come up with for their runway collections and what new lines they will be releasing. Sometimes the designs are not accepted or applicable to our towns society but they are always brave ideas that express the designers vision for the fall. So going into picking an essential question I thought it would a fun project to on my own try and figure out what the designers will come up with for the fall trends in 2013. 


What excites you most about finding the answer to this essential question? 
If I am right and I am able to predict at least one new fall fashion trend I would be so pleased and believe that maybe I can one day find a career in this. I will be able to look in depth at trends from years ago and see if they will reappear in years to come. Even though the designers are always creating new visions for their clothes there is always an old trend or idea from years before that will influence them. 


Do you feel that this question accurately reflects a desire/need that you have to find out more about this topic?
Yes, I think I can relate to my topic because it influences me and the way I dress. I will have the desire to research many designers and their previous clothing lines to help me make my prediction. The fashion world is constantly changing what was "in" yesterday could no longer be "in" today. This is what drives the designers imagination and keeps them on their toes to create the hottest new look. I will think like them and see where they get their inspiration from. This topic will challenge me but if i get the trends right it will be very rewarding.
