Our environment plays an important role of who we were yesterday, who we are
today, and who we will be in the future. Nowadays, we cannot determine what lies ahead of
us as we live in this world full of uncertainty, but we all know that we are going to that
direction. Few go straight, but some of us go upward; others go downward while others go
upward and downward without consistency. These are true to our lives. The moment you
step into a minefield of potential confusion; you are exercising trends without noticing it.
What are the latest models of cell phones today? What are the hottest news today
about celebrities? What are the trending dance moves or tag lines? What is the latest and
updated online game? Are you concern about what type of business boomed today?
Unsurprisingly, trends are about us: how do we behave, what we want, and how do we view
the world around us. This is the trend of our existence in this world. But, what is trend?

complete this module. Are you excited? You can now start.
1. identify what are the following; trend analysis, trend spotting, trend spotter, and
projecting trends
2. identify the five ways on how to spot a trend.
What’s In
In the previous lesson, you have defined trend, megatrend, and microtrend. You
have also learned that trend doesn’t only reflect on fashion, pop culture, and entertainment
but in all dimensions. Moreover, you have learned that megatrend and microtrend are the
two classifications of trend. In this lesson, we are going to identify the process on how to
spot a trend. Alright! You can do this. To unlock this lesson, you need to perform first the
next activity.

DIRECTIONS: Before you go further, list down things/terms that you can think of when you
are going to spot a trend.
Awesome ideas! To enrich you more about this lesson, you need to read the
information thoroughly with great focus that will surely result to great understanding.
What Is It
―Trends never turn on a dime. Reversals build slowly. The first sharp dip
always finds
buyers and the first sharp rise always finds sellers.‖ – Alan Farley
It is important for us to understand that trends do not go straight up or straight down.
They tend to zigzag back and forth from a new high back to a lower high, then to a higher
high and go down. Thus, it has no consistency on its own manner.
Trend is considered as a collage of present circumstances that extend current
patterns into the future (Cornish, 2004 and Canton, 2006). However, an examination
of these phenomena and speculation on the likely impact they will have in the future is called
trend analysis. In addition, the practice of collecting information and attempting to spot a
pattern, or trend, in the information is also known as trend analysis.
Sanders, Soper, and Rotwell (2002) stated that ―an examination of trends
phenomena and speculation on its likely impact in the future is called as trends analysis.‖
Moreover, trends analysis grants ―future vision.‖ It allows populations to be proactive in
response to future events. Furthermore, trends analysis is the widespread practice of
collecting information and attempting to spot a pattern in the information. It will be used in
predicting future events or estimating uncertain events in the past, and distracting present
events just to promote new ones.
The process of identifying of trends is called trend spotting. Rehn and Lindkvist
(2013) define trend spotting as attempting to see the future in the present situation. On the
other hand, the people who notice and report on new fashions, activities that people
are starting to do is called as trend spotter. Conversely, an act that assumes the future that
will
be a logical extension of the past is defined as act of projecting trends. Thus,
projecting trends will be based from the past, present and what will be in the future
regardless of defined and undefined factors that contribute from its changes or development.
Fantastic! This time, I believe that you are now ready to perform the succeeding
activities. You can now start.

Brilliant examples! For you to confirm if your answers are correct, read the lesson
comprehensively. While reading, I encourage you to take a pause/reflection to important
concepts for better understanding. You can now start.
What Is It
Fads and trends can be used interchangeably by most of the people. They are forms
of collective behaviour that develop within a culture, a generation or social group in which a
group of people enthusiastically follow in an impulse for a finite period. There are a number
of industries whose very survival depends on recognizing the difference between a fad and a
trend (Web Finance Inc., 2005).
FAD
Merriam Webster’s Dictionary defines fad as something, such as an interest or
fashion that is very popular for a short period of time. It is an intense and a widely-shared
enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived. In addition, a fad is something
(products, fashion, style or etc.) that has little, if any, utility and is characterized by a quick
rise and popularity followed by a quick decline and popularity. The reason about this type of
nature of fad is because it usually does not satisfy a strong consumers’/users’ needs and
wants. It is temporary fashion, a craze, interest, or activity that people follow enthusiastically,
but lasts for a short period of time. Thus, fad is something that will rise rapidly and fall
relatively rapid also once the perception of novelty is gone.
Nevertheless, the best guesses for future events or patterns that are based on
present peripheral and historical information is called as trends (Cornish 2004). Through the
interrelatedness of all things in the universe, trends are complex fusion of past, present, and
future information and represent human’s best predictions over time which allow for pre-
emptive judgments and actions toward future events and conditions.
According to Naisbit 2006, fads are normally micro-trends that exist under the
umbrella of an actual trend. Thus, all fads are trend, but not all trends are fad
accordingly. However, the ability to frame a trend in time is what ultimately gives a trend its
credibility. Thinking of trends along a linear timeline however, is not always correct as trends
can revert back on themselves becoming cyclical or trends can fuse or converge with other
trends occurring in the same time frame (Canton 2006).
A fad by definition is a short-term event, what some may call a "flash in the pan." It
does not guarantee lifetime. It’s short-lived or some will say it’s just For-A-Day. On the other
hand, a trend has the potential of becoming a long-term influence on the future of a market.
It’s long-lived. These two may resemble each other at first, but there is almost always
a definite beginning and a definite end to a fad.
According to supermarketnews.com, there are three differentiating factors between a
fad and a trend which follows;
Reason for rise. Trends generally have identifiable and explainable rises,
driven by
consumers’ functional needs and consistent with other consumer lifestyle trends. By
contrast, fads are driven by an emotional need to purchase, based on hype and idealistic
product perceptions. The benefits are ethereal or ill-conceived, and don’t deliver what was
promised to consumers.
16
FAD
Incubation period and life span. Trends rise slowly, whereas fads spike—and die
out— quickly. For example, demand for multiple fashionable handbags and accessories for
each occasion has grown steadily over the years, fueling Coach’s decade-long growth and
healthy 11-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19 percent. Beanie Babies, on the
other hand, went from $400 million in sales in 1997 to $1.3 billion in 1999, a CAGR of 77
percent, before dropping to $850 million the next year and steep declines thereafter (see
Exhibit 1 chart below).
Scope. A trend usually encompasses several brands or products that are applicable
to many different consumer segments, while a fad typically includes only a single
brand or product and has limited appeal outside of one narrow consumer segment. A trend
possesses some agility and consumers have granted it permission to expand beyond its
current platform while maintaining authenticity.
How was it? I hope the concepts you have all read are now clear. You have to do the
following activities for us to assess your understanding about this lesson. With positive mind,
you can now start.

FAD
Things to Remember!
Fad and trend are both collective behaviour that develop within a culture, a generation
and social group in which a group of people enthusiastically follow an impulse for a finite
period. Moreover, fad is a short-term event or what some may call ―flash in the pan‖ while
trend has the potential of becoming a long-term influence on the future. Fad is short-lived
while trend is long-lived. There are three differentiating factors between the two namely
reason for rise, incubation and life span, and scope.

module. You can now start.
What Is It
As a pattern of gradual change in condition, output, and or process trend has its own
characteristics. Merriam Webster dictionary defines characteristic as a distinguishing trait,
quality, or property. However, in business dictionary it means ―a distinguishing feature or
attribute of an item, person, phenomenon, etc., usually divided into three categories:
physical, functional, and operational.‖ Thus, characteristics are what separate you or
something from others. It pinpoints the mark of uniqueness of someone or something. This
time, let us apply the five (5) characteristics which used by the professionals in fashion
design skills.
1. Innovation
Even if you are trying to imitate a popular style, be sure to always bring something
new when designing. Because no matter how consistent or repurposed a popular fashion or
trend might be, always remember that something will replace it. But, the moment you add
something personalized (own touch) to it, it might distract the present trend and will be the
next trend. Change is constant, remember?
2. Brand consistency
Brand positioning means you are going to place your product or service in your
customers’ mind. Attaining this requires brand consistency and loyalty to all your creative
designs in order for your customers to remember what separates you from your competitors.
3. Outerwear-ability
Outwear is very popular in every cool season. Ability to wear is well appreciated by
the customers especially in clothing. Creating simple but elegant design makes you
presentable.
4. Versatility
Design versatile fashions for every season continuously done with outwear ability.
They spend less on the things they acquire. Making your audience happy means a challenge
on your fashion design ability.
5. Simplicity
Creating simple yet innovative fashion design is like setting yourself up for
professional progress. One thing is that versatility usually calls simplicity. It is easy to
remember if it is simple. Empowering your audience and building does not necessarily
expensive. Make it simple.
Well done! You are now ready to answer the following activities. Do it with a diligent
mind and heart. You can now start.

Part is one of the often indefinite or unequal subdivisions into which something is or is
regarded as divided and which together constitute the whole. In contrary, whole means
something constituting a complex unity: a coherent system or organization of parts or
working together as whole. Conversely, fads are normally micro-trends that exist under the
umbrella of an actual trend. These are parts of the evolution of creating a whole trend.
However, trends are a bit slower paced but represent something that is occurring on a much

Wow! Amazing comprehension! This time, you can explore more about this topic.
Read and understand carefully the discussion.
What Is It
Emergence is defined in simple ways but is consistent on its context. It means just
beginning to exist, starting to exist and growing and developing, especially in business. On
the other hand, pattern is a particular way in which something is done or organized, or in
which something happens; it is a regular arrangement of lines, shapes, or colors; it is also a
design or set of shapes that show how to make something (Cambridge Dictionary).
In business dictionary, pattern is a consistent and recurring characteristic or trait that
helps in the identification of a phenomenon or problem, and serves as an indicator or
model for predicting its future behavior. These sum-up the analysis of a trend. As trend is the
recurrent phenomenon that takes place over time and which gives rise to the future
speculation (Sanders, Soper, and Rotwell 2002) and the examination of those phenomenon
and speculation is called as trend analysis.
Furthermore, it is important to identify how does trend emerged and what are the
patterns on how it emerged dramatically.
Mobile phones are considered as fads before as it only affects those who can afford
it. Since its innovation spread out rapidly, many people now owned one or more
phones. Children ages from 3 years old and above are now using mobile phones for
learning and entertainment. If communication through mobile phone was considered as fad
before, now it is already a trend. Going back to our topic, using the evolution of mobile
phones, we are going to simplify the emerging patterns of its trend.
The main function of mobile phone is to make communication more convenient.
Before, the offering services were only calling and texting. Simcards were two expensive
even loads. Promos were limited to call and text only and no unlicalls, unlitexts,
sulitexts and
so on. If you have your aunties and uncles, ask them in their time if these were true.
There are no internet connections and cellphones are not the same as what we have right
now. Features were limited. Below is a simple illustration about the evolution of mobile
phones features from 1980s to present.
Perseverance is a key to success. Congratulations for reaching this far. I know you
are excited to share your understanding about the lesson. This time, perform the following

In every action, there is always a consequence either good or bad. Everything that
happens to us has its own reason. It could be from direct factors which greatly contribute to it
or even indirect factors which lead us to do it intentionally or unintentionally, wanted or
unwanted. We receive favourable or unfavourable resulting rewards in nature.
Impact is the measure of tangible and intangible effects (consequences) of a
thing,
action or influence upon another. We both know that the main subject in this module
is all about trend. It also deals with how it develops and which it greatly impact on our
society.

Wow! Thank you for being open. You are now indeed a mature person. To relate
your experiences, analyze and evaluate yourself on the following lesson. Read the lesson
comprehensively.
What Is It
INNOVATORS
They adopt something simply because it is new. They love exploring for the sake of
pleasure or exploring and are willing to take risks, even if those risks result in failure. They
are adventurer.
EARLY ADOPTERS
They are often opinion leaders. Similar to innovators, they adopt quickly. But, they
are more concerned about the coolness factor and maintaining their reputations as being
ahead of the curve on new ideas.
EARLY MAJORITY
They belong to the mass that critically ensures adoption. They look for productivity
and practical benefits more than coolness or reputation.
LATE MAJORITY
The same to early majority, they critically ensure the adaptation process. They are
somewhat similar to early majority but also expect a lot of help and support before they are
willing to commit.
LAGGARDS
As the term implies, slow to adaptation. They are most resistant to change and do so
only when forced to adopt because everyone else has. In other word, they have no choice if
urgency requires them to do so.
Mobile phone is one of the proofs to our technological advancements. It became part
of our daily lives. It is impossible to carry out our daily activities without our phones. It is our
avenue of communicating others and entertainments. According to Sarah Yasin (2018),
there are positive and negative impacts of mobile phone use in our society and environment.
Positive Effects of Mobile Phone Use in Our Society and Environment Communication
Nowadays mobile phones have the ability to connect people from all over the world,
no matter where they may be in a variety of ways of communication with the power of
internet connection. Through social media apps they are easy to carry and accessible,
communication has never been easier. It is considered as the very basic root of human
colonization, communication.
Entertainment
Mobile phones act as gaming platforms for people looking for some relaxation or
just to pass time. From the latest Hollywood blockbusters to the news highlights of your
country,
your mobile holds all these. With one touch on your screen and get access to
whatever you
wish to see, it’s possible and time saving.
Daily Utilities
With the advancements of technologies, everything seems easy. Aside from
entertainment and communication, mobile phones now have apps that help us to perform
the same everyday tasks without facing any difficulty. From paying bills, booking cabs and
hotels, to online maps for navigation purposes, capturing our memorable moments by built-in
cameras. It provides convenience.
Organization
Mobile phones will be your partner on how to managed things. Modern man is too
caught up to keep track of everything, mobile phones help us to remain organized through
storing important documents and notes, memos, etc. send emails. Calendars and
stopwatches are basic tools found in all mobile phones.
Waste of time
The average person checks his phone once every 12 minutes, leading to 80 times a
day. Most of the time people just check their phones for no good reason. Even when not
using their phones, you might often see people fidgeting with their phones.
Cause of Depression
As discussed before, mobile phones may lead to depression, especially among
teens. With the rage of social media, teenagers are becoming obsessed with ―likes‖ on their
personal posts and accounts. Moreover, reduced daily life interactions lead to loneliness and
anxiety.
SCENARIO
Relationships
Distraction
You often might make up your mind to just ―check‖ up on updates and instead find
yourself surfing the internet for hours on end without realizing it. Thus, people cannot
exclude the fact that mobile phones are a huge distraction.
With the given discussion, it allows us to ask ourselves about what type of adopters
we are going to be when something (trend or fad) triggers us. Do we necessarily follow
something automatically or we are going to consider important things that might affect the
result of that action before doing it? Or simply try to ask yourself, is it necessary for me to do
this or I will do something better? In this stage, ethics of care plays its vital role.
Ethics of care is an ethical theory that emphasizes the moral dimension of
relationships and interactions. This moral perspective encourages individuals to be a
good example to others. It also shows your moral as a person. Considering that in every
action you do there is always a consequence. Before you are going to decide or do
something, take some considerations first. Be proactive about what will be its result.
Welcome to the last three activities in this module. I am happy that you have reached
this far. Share your personalized understanding about the lesson by doing the following
activities.
What’s More
DIRECTIONS: Define cause and consequence by giving a certain scenario and explain its
relationships. Write your answer using the graphic organizer given below.

What I Have Learned
Things to Remember!
Cause means a reason for an action or condition, and or something that brings about
an effect or a result (Webster Dictionary). On the other hand, consequence means
something that is produced by a cause or necessarily following from a set of condition.
However, ethics of care is important before doing something as it is an ethical theory that
emphasizes the moral dimension of relationships and interactions.
