10 Trends That Will Define the Fashion Agenda in 2017

10 Trends That Will Define the Fashion Agenda in 2017
LONDON, United Kingdom — After a slowdown in 2016 marked by volatility and uncertainty, our analysis suggests a slight recovery in 2017, to a point where the industry may see 2.5-3.5 percent growth next year. This slight recovery stems from a range of sources. First, macroeconomic indicators, including global GDP growth forecasts, are projected at 3.4 percent compared with 3.1 for 2016; however, at the time of printing, these had not been adjusted to reflect the ongoing impact of political shifts in the United States and the United Kingdom. Second, the investment community expects improvements across the entire fashion industry, particularly driven by the behemoths within these segments, which are reorganising and divesting non-performing, non-core brands. This is confirmed by the key executives in the BoF-McKinsey Global Fashion Survey, who also expect increasing growth across categories and sentiments: 40 percent of respondents expect conditions for the industry to improve in 2017.

But while it was once thought of as uncool or only a concern for hippies, the tables appear to be turning. According to a recent Unilever study, sustainability issues are increasingly affecting shopping decisions, with 21% of people saying they would support brands that clearly convey sustainability aspects through their marketing and packaging. This extends beyond food and every day consumer goods into clothing, too, with a multitude of fashion brands subsequently taking environmental and ethical factors into consideration during the production process. That being said, research suggests that it’s not always easy to market eco-friendly fashion.

The rise of the conscious consumer Today we are consumers who are ethically motivated and conscious of how the decisions we make as shoppers impact society. In fact, 90 per cent of global consumers are now more likely to switch to a brand associated with a good cause. The conscious consumer is on the rise and wielding influence on businesses like never before. Companies have traditionally implemented Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives to convey their social values to consumers.

An Alternative To Consumerism Does Exist: The Performance Economy LONDON, United Kingdom — Earlier this year, H&M announced its aim to be 100 percent circular and renewable by 2030. The ability to recycle this quantity without degradation would mean endless yet sustainable fast fashion. But is it really feasible for one of the world’s largest fast fashion retailers — which reported revenues of over $2 billion in 2016 — to "close the loop" in a little over a decade? By 2030 it is predicted that we will be using two Earths worth of resources and the demand for clothing is expected to have risen by 63 percent according to the Copenhagen Fashion Summit's recent Pulse of The Fashion Industry report written in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group. As we hurtle along this trajectory, can we afford to put all our bets on being able to make current rates of fashion consumption sustainable?
