Orietta: Her Life as a Trendforecaster and Beyond

As a trend forecaster, one has the responsibility of taking on many different roles and spending ample time catering to compiling observations as to the direction that fashion is leaning towards from time to time. Orietta looks into design and reading people's thoughts and making sure that she is well immersed in old art and films as well as watching how people dress and buy in order to showcase Italian creativity and fashion design to the fullest. Milan, Italy is represented by international style and craves to be the trendsetter of the world. As of right now, Milan has embodied the "relaxed elegance" trend that strays away from the stereotypical tailored look that Italians wear so well.

 The Side Swept Tee is a versatile piece that can be worn during the day straight into the night. It can be dressed up or down and it is definitely a relaxed fit with effortless elegance.

In order to prepare for the field of forecasting trends and styles, a person needs to have a personality that exceeds the customers point-of-view. It is essentially in a trend forecaster's character to care about creativity, moods, attitudes, and to be fully aware of social aspects as well as being knowledgeable about the business side to everything. Fashion is said to be a form of self-expression, but in this case, it is better to become the person who does not follow trends or designers. Staying true to yourself as a person and being a clean slate with a simple mind yet still being very open to what the world has to offer: This is a trend forecaster.

All of the traveling, pictures to take, people to meet and places to stay. This is dream job to most but it takes a lot of time and dedication as well as some alone time away from home. When I was younger I always had a thing for predicting the weather and sometimes even telling myself that I can tell what the future brings: Why not forecast trends and styles! I am a religious observer of all my surroundings so what is better than to continue documenting what I see each day and turning it into a career that I know I will enjoy everyday.
