Trend-ology at the Fashion Institute of Technology

Fashion trends are constantly changing. A single shift in print, color, material, embellishment, or silhouette may quickly become a major new trend. Yet while the contemporary fashion press tirelessly reports the latest trend news, it offers scant insight into where trends originate. Utilizing 100 objects from the museum’s permanent collection, Trend-ology examines the diverse sources from which fashion trends have emerged over the past 250 years, including urban street style, art, music, film, and socio-political movements. Whilst at the Fashion Institute of Technology I had the opportunity to visit the exhibition, even though pictures weren't allowed I managed to sneak a few. 

Fashion Institute of Technology

Doing a fashion course in university and being taken to New York is always a dream come true but even more so when you get to visit on of the most prestigious universities for fashion in the world situated on Fashion Avenue in downtown New York. The New York Fashion Institute of Technology is an internationally recognised college for design, fashion, art, communication and business. 

Whilst visiting the institute we took a brief course introduction into the art of perfume making, this gave us an insight into how many artificial smells are made and how many popular perfumes are grouped into categories just by their scents.
