At Trend Hunter, we're obsessed with interviewing creative and innovative people. From YouTube celebrities like Marina Orlova (Hot for Words) to our favourite bloggers, like Nandini Maheshwari from BornRich. We like to ask them how they get their inspiration to discover the next big thing.
Check out the countdown, and as you get through the list, dive deeper into the people that fascinate you the most!
Implications - Media personalities are becoming more than just people who entertain. Products that incorporate an aspect of popular culture are appealing to modern-day consumers who are now personally identifying themselves with these figures. Incorporating these names into items could help a company attract more buyers.
