Trend Hunter’s founder, Jeremy Gutsche, was recently interviewed by Canadian House & Home Magazine on home decorating trends in 2009. Check out an excerpt from the issue, which featured Jeremy as their #1 ‘design insider.’
The Democratization of Design
Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood turned heads with her Spring/Summer 2009 collection, which incorporated safety pins and what looked to be reincarnations of tablecloths, curtains and towels.
"It’s credit-crunch couture," says Jeremy Gutsche, chief trend hunter for TrendHunter.com, the world’s largest site for identifying what’s cool even before it’s cool.
"Inexpensive designs will be getting more and more attention in the days to come."
