Trends for year 2008

My prognosis for this year's trends are:

Fashion
- motif: mushroom
- pattern: small irregular rainbow coloured things on white background
- trim: lace with pictorial funny pattern (like animals or rude signs) or text
- alternative mood: intentionally boring and dry late fifties scandinavian linen.
- flat, dry two-tone fabrics, for example warp greige, weft dull greyish brown, with very small naive white embroideries (or cheaper version prints) in unusual places.


General
- favourite job: trend analyst or trend seeker, futurologist
