The predictives, like Stylesight and WGSN, should consider these 10 future applications<br />
1. 3D models where designers can try their designs<br />
2. connections to the designer software, where the designer could transfer data from the site to his/her workspace<br />
3. links to where designers can source directly from site<br />
4. links to factories directly from site<br />
5. links to sales forces directly from site<br />
6. links to retail stores, directly from site<br />
7. statistics on past styles sales<br />
8. ways to redesign flats on site<br />
9. social network area for designers and manufactures<br />
10. links to designers that other designers can access</div>Carla Buchananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09452598368416642389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124630812683850966.post-68562844046811044072010-06-03T19:18:00.001-07:002010-06-03T19:18:32.606-07:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />

<br />
1. The predictives predict trends for fashion.<br />
2. On the student portal you can find Doneger.<br />
3. On the student portal you can find Stylesight.<br />
4. On the student portal you can find WGSN. (but you need to be on campus to use it)<br />
5. The FIDM library has a collection of current hard copy predictives.<br />
6. The predictives sometimes specialize in certain areas.<br />
7. The predictives are available to FIDM students, ONLY while you are a student.<br />
8. You can make a folder of the flats, in Stylesight, and keep it to use when you are an alumni.<br />
9. You can subscribe to the predictives, for a fee, after you graduate.<br />
10. Use the predictives while you are a student!<div style="clear: both;"></div></div><div class="post-footer" style="color: #777777; font: normal normal normal 78%/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.1em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.75em; text-transform: uppercase;"><div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"><span class="post-author vcard">POSTED BY <span class="fn">CARLA BUCHANAN</span> </span><span class="post-timestamp">AT <a class="timestamp-link" href="http://xtra-style.blogspot.com/2010/05/10-thing-we-want-to-teach-ready-to.html" rel="bookmark" style="color: #aa77aa; text-decoration: none;" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial;" title="2010-05-28T09:27:00-07:00">9:27 AM</abbr></a> </span><span class="reaction-buttons"></span><span class="star-ratings"></span><span class="post-comment-link"></span><span class="post-backlinks post-comment-link"></span><span class="post-icons"><span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1277007036" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3124630812683850966&postID=753943470142266079" style="color: #aa77aa; text-decoration: none;" title="Edit Post"><img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0.5em !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px; vertical-align: middle;" width="18" /> </a></span></span><div class="post-share-buttons" style="display: inline-block; margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0.5em !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; vertical-align: middle; zoom: 1;"></div></div><div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-2"><span class="post-labels">LABELS: <a href="http://xtra-style.blogspot.com/search/label/10%20things%20we%20want%20to%20teach" rel="tag" style="color: #99aadd; text-decoration: none;">10 THINGS WE WANT TO TEACH</a>, <a href="http://xtra-style.blogspot.com/search/label/Stylesight" rel="tag" style="color: #99aadd; text-decoration: none;">STYLESIGHT</a>, <a href="http://xtra-style.blogspot.com/search/label/WGSN" rel="tag" style="color: #99aadd; text-decoration: none;">WGSN</a></span></div></div>Carla Buchananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09452598368416642389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124630812683850966.post-82191458941313375752010-06-03T19:13:00.000-07:002010-06-03T19:15:43.174-07:00WGSN Features<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmOial8fQT26D6qqGcfnxOVjsP2qoEeZFG6vehoZwxojoBH9BZRlV4gCBfYHra3rRDSVGu7nSzhEByyP2XAsvHXTqjUZsZjdftPnSaZAI-xA-y0_II-OjYOhH_KCVEvH0AKvtJSqZQEVHA/s1600/images-15.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmOial8fQT26D6qqGcfnxOVjsP2qoEeZFG6vehoZwxojoBH9BZRlV4gCBfYHra3rRDSVGu7nSzhEByyP2XAsvHXTqjUZsZjdftPnSaZAI-xA-y0_II-OjYOhH_KCVEvH0AKvtJSqZQEVHA/s320/images-15.jpeg" width="248" /></a></div><br />
