Not to sound cocky, but my trend predictions usually turn out to be accurate. Ask anyone—I’ve historically been ahead of the curve in talking about emerging trends and often test-driving them myself months, and in some cases multiple seasons, before they enter the mainstream. Of course, this is part of the task at hand of being a fashion editor, but I’ll come right out and say it: I think I’m pretty good at it.

Take, for instance, the capri pant trend I was trying my hand at as early as last September that’s now made its way from the runways to the racks at Zara. Or the same goes for the antique-style brooches I’ve been talking about for months, only to see so many of them in the fall 2024 collections. In other words, I tend to get it right more often than I don’t, so if you’re curious about which emerging styles are in the trend pipeline, you might want to pay attention to the predictions I’m laying out here.
