How do you distinguish passing fads from mainstays in new trends?
I never follow trends or Fads, I keep to the beat of my own drummer. I try to stay with colors that are always timeless and classic then add a splash of season color to keep it fresh
Eveything in fashion depends on customer, your design to become a fad or a trend is only decided by customers.
Comfort zone, current interests, climate,... makes them a fad or a new trend
go with my gut and what I love
IT SHOULD BE SEEN I THEIR DESIGN.
Do not do anything that is trendy always stear a client away from superficiality.

Classic fonts, great understanding of type, balance and
interpretation and so much more. |
