Pretty neat study. I like the humor in the trend descriptions. But it looks like pretty much every "trend" is a short-cycle sawtooth waveform which ends up telling me nothing at all. Maybe too many clusters, or they are different from the way designers think about it? Or does fashion really cycle so fast?
And more specifically, runway designs have short lives. It's the ready to wear items that are informed by runway clothing that comprise the "boring yet functional" clothing most of us have.
