I feel like there's been a lot of conversations on the forum about the lack of individuality in design lately, and coincidentally this episode of the 99% invisible podcast (from a few months ago) about the biggest trend forecasting company popped up in my queue today. I found it so fascinating especially the part where they have templates for clothing. This might explain why so much fast fashion looks the same.

If you have 20 minutes I recommend listening to the podcast. It's great (as are all of the episodes actually).
