Cool Hunting Specialisation Course

Cool Hunting Specialisation Course

MILAN

Training course

This course aims to illustrate the method and tools through which new trends can be identified from their emergence to their exhaustion.

We will learn to observe the emergence of new phenomena, new lifestyles, from music to contemporary art, exploring their impact in fashion, design, entertainment and, more generally, in design culture.

We will understand together what a trend is, how to identify, investigate and interpret it through the study of new materials and technological and industrial innovations.

The second part of the course will illustrate how much and how new trends, from their emergence to their exhaustion, can affect the processes of 'innovation' in products, services and business, and how the investigation of a new trend can be integrated into the creative process and translated into marketing and communication strategies.

Various companies from different sectors will be examined: fashion, design, interior design, cosmetics, automotive, food and wine and tourism, and case studies will be modulated according to the participants' areas of interest.

Trend research is a necessary tool for predicting future consumer needs and desires and creating innovative designs.

This course will show the wide variety of intellectual, social, cultural, aesthetic and consumer dynamics, defining what a trend is, where to look for it, how to interpret it and, once identified, how to enhance it by integrating it into the creative process.

Every artistic expression, every new behaviour, every new object can, in equal measure, contain a clue to a future trend.

The Cool Hunting course will explain how, by examining emerging social and cultural changes, it is possible to update one's thinking, renew one's approach to consumers and offer new growth opportunities to companies.

What you will learn

We will teach you to explore the how and why of cultural change, imagine possible future scenarios and generate research and moodboards to support your insights. Skills to identify and define the next trend will be honed.
