Trends! The bane of spontaneity. However, they must be served because trends equal sales. I believe anyone who benefits from trend waves follow two streams. They don't chase after the curve neither do they ignore it. They do both. They have their baseline of innovation and creativity because that is the blood of any thriving fashion house but also work on the side to satisfy 1/3 of the many trends out there. And somewhere along those lines there is that rewarding moment then the two streams meet and your innovations align with the trend. So it's a bad idea to abandon innovation in pursuit of trends curves and you can't do both. You have to focus on you creative integrity and if you have the budget, some trends. Niches are still a thing.
