The Fashion industry creates and drives global trends. It’s an industry in constant evolution to capture consumers' imaginations, with what’s hot, what’s new and what’s next. The fashion market has always been the global trend leader but the influence now on furnishings, furniture and product design has never been greater.

At last synergy between the two is being recognised at the design stage and consumers can now identify the fusion on an international platform.
John Eussen discusses the influence that the fashion industry has on interiors with four industry icons and how they interpret the meld within their own business.

Australian consumer magazines are a great source of ‘on trend on time’ information, information that feeds the design field and the creative minds of consumers. Each magazine interprets trends in their own terms and this interactive discussion will exemplify how each publication reflects their own handwriting .

The Australian lifestyle is unique, and the adaptation of international design trends through publication makes these consumer magazines amongst the best in the industry.   John Eussen, a figurehead in the design industry, leads a panel of four leading design editors through a discussion on design trends for 09/10.
