This trend forecast focuses on the Twilightwoods theme for Fall 2016. It profiles an introverted 18-25 year old consumer who finds peace in nature. Her style is shy yet artistic, allowing her clothes to express her personality. The color story features earth tones like olive drab and bark that represent the depths of the woods at twilight. Recommended fabrics include lightweight jersey, chiffon and crepe suitable for wandering. Designs take a grunge-meets-military approach with slim silhouettes like cropped pants and long coats.

2. Rachel Zoe once stated, “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” My
costumer represents that quote with her shy yet stylist personality. By having her clothes
speak for her she makes people feel something when they look at her. It is almost as if she
is art and one tends to wonder the mystery behind her.
My costumer would be within the age range of 18 to 25 years old. My brand would not
represent a specific type of ethnicity, as it would be very diverse. She is either a high
school or college student. She does not have a family of her own yet, because she is
focusing on creating a future for herself. She may have a part time job but nothing serious
yet. Since her style speaks for her, you are left to wonder about her personality. Only the
very few people she lets in her life know who she really is. As an introvert she enjoys her
own company more than being around large groups of people. Her hobbies include
photography, drawing, shopping, exercising, reading, and traveling. You can find her in a
cafe, art gallery, park or occasionally in the gym. The city is the perfect place for her to be
in since fashion, art and architecture all coexist there. She loves living in the city but
misses seeing more of nature.
Consumer Profile

5. There is something about the twilight sky that makes the woods feel
like home. The paths filled with beautiful scenery go on for days. Feeling
lost and found at the same time happen a lot during twilight in the woods.
Being at peace with yourself is the main reason why it feels like home. This
home is not meant to be conformed; only free spirits are allowed in. It is
safe to break free from who you have been hiding in all day long. It is a
graceful thing finding beauty in the depths and darkness of the woods.
There are secrets that lie there waiting for the brave free spirited souls that
come alive during this time. One must never forget to be one with the
woods during their stay.

6. The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

9. Lightweight fabrics are ideal for the woman who wants to
feel comfortably lost in the woods. These fabrics bring out
her inner soft feminine side with a little sparkle to them.
The fabrics are solid colored with trims that give the
garment a slight haute couture feel. The long lengths of
each fabric drape perfectly on the body. In this fall season
some jersey knit garments are required on top of the chiffon
and polyester crepe dresses.
