Renaissance Brushstrokes by Romina Ressia. For her project ‘Renaissance Brushstrokes’ photographer Romina Ressia created a set of classic portraits operated – without digital manipulation – but with brushstrokes which work as the link between two eras, and between the old and the contemporary. With her works Romina explores the similarities between tradition and modernism, between old and new, the common and the unknown. She aims to find out, how our past affects society nowadays and how other atemporal issues are managed today. It’s her way to examine how we’re touched by the changing world in which we live in.

The Style Economist: The Circular Flow Model and Fashion Trend Forecasting. It’s fascinating how the fashion industry works. For one, it’s actually more complex than how the economy works as in the Circular Flow Model: Goods and services flow in one direction, while money flows around the economy in the opposite direction. Households spend money to buy goods and services in product markets, and this money is received by the firms as revenue. These firms then pay money for the factors of production they utilize, in wages, rent and interest. Thus the households receive their income, to be used in purchasing goods and services. On the other hand, households provide factor markets with labor, land, capital and entrepreneurship, as well as inputs for production so that firms may produce goods and services.

I recently interviewed fashion forecaster Geraldine Wharry who has worked with and for major brands including trend forecaster WGSN. I asked her about the art of trend forecasting, and what's next for 2013/14. Tell us a little bit about yourself…I've been a fashion designer for 13 years and have always had a strong eye for trends so I naturally evolved into trend forecasting when I moved to London after living in Los Angeles and New York. I was born, raised and studied fashion in Paris but my mother's a New Yorker and my father is British.
When I finished design school I immediately went to NY so I'm multi-cultural, have lived in the main fashion capitals and basically understand the global aspect of design. I learnt the craft of fashion design with brands such as 7 for all Mankind, Ripcurl, and Triple 5 Soul and branched into trend forecasting at WGSN, where I was in charge of forecasting future trends for Womenswear.
