Hi Kim! It's pretty easy to find what's hot currently even two-three months from now isn't hard, but with the trade shows six months in advance... How do we know what's going to be "it" fashion in 6 months? You always seem to know :)

The trends tend to carryover from earlier in the year and the year before. Also, just watch the runway shows in NY, you'll notice certain trends coming up regularly.
