ITSWEB - TRENDS REPORT 2014. May 06, 2014 We would like to thank all of the ITS 2014 applicants for sharing with us their precious treasures! And a special thanks goes to the designers whose images have been fundamental and so enriching for this report. We have been researching creativity for over thirteen years now and we always have two objectives on our mind: on the one hand our attention focuses on spotting the new ITS generation, on the other we aim at detecting any signal arriving from the world of creativity. We do our best to read between the lines and like gold miners we look for every single speck of gold. The result we wish to achieve is a snapshot free from the structures of conventional thinking, able to capture universal and across-the-board feelings tracing, if possible and if present, a common will and desire. A connecting thread that goes from Argentina to Zimbabwe passing through Australia, Belarus, China and linking Indonesia to Alaska, Japan to Iceland, South Africa to Malaysia.

The higher the hair, the closer to heaven: a teenage Kate shows her sweet Texas style Denim to Dolce. During high school, Kate’s love of shopping earned her the nickname “Mall-y.” In college, she chose to major in Marketing when she realized its connection to shopping, products and the customer experiences that were part of her consumer-driven DNA. Two business degrees later, Kate went on to work for a number of major retail brands, including The Limited, The Gap, The Body Shop and Neiman Marcus, where she was indoctrinated into the world of luxury cosmetics and never looked back.
