For Academia

TREND FORECAST BOOK

BREW-UP TREND is an exclusive indigenous fashion trend forecasting resource developed for the Indian Apparel and Textile Industries. Published 14 months ahead of each fashion season, it offers precise and to-the-point trend directions that are easy to understand and implement. Based on in-depth research and analysis of both global and local fashion trend outlooks, its insights serve as a valuable resource for India-centric forecast research and reference. Each season, our trend book presents two commercially driven macro trends, each further divided into two sub-directions. These sub-directions are accompanied by corresponding seasonal moods, product and silhouette directions, color palettes, as well as print and surface design directions.

ON-CAMPUS SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS

The knowledge of fashion trend forecasting is extremely essential for fashion and retail professionals. In today’s hyper-informed world, identifying and aligning with the right consumer-driven trends is vital for a brand’s success. Our exclusive trend forecasting workshops and seminars are specially crafted for final-year students, aiming to bridge the gap between academia and industry. These sessions empower emerging design professionals with a comprehensive understanding of both the art and science behind effective trend forecasting. Participants receive a certificate of participation upon completion.

STARTUP LAUNCHPAD

One of the main reasons many fashion labels fail is the lack of proper mentorship and essential infrastructure during their early stages. While Indian designers are on par with their global counterparts in terms of innovation and creativity, they often struggle to turn ideas into sustainable businesses.

Startup Launchpad is an initiative designed to support budding designers and entrepreneurs in launching their own brands or labels. We offer comprehensive mentorship along with key services such as collection design, sourcing, sampling, and production — all at reasonable costs.
