  • Fashion Trends 2016
    Fashion Trends 2016 U.S. & U.K. Report [email protected] Intro With every query typed into a search bar, we are given a glimpse into user considerations or intentions. By compiling top searches, we are able to render a strong representation of the population and gain insight into this population’s behavior. In our second iteration of the Google Fashion Trends Report, we are excited to introduce data from multiple markets. This report focuses on apparel trends from the United States and United Kingdom to enable a better understanding of how trends spread and behaviors emerge across the two markets. We are proud to share this iteration and look forward to hearing back from you. Olivier Zimmer | Trends Data Scientist Yarden Horwitz | Trends Brand Strategist Methodology To compile a list of accurate trends within the fashion industry, we pulled top volume queries related to the apparel category and looked at their monthly volume from May 2014 to May 2016. We first removed any seasonal effect, and then measured the year-over-year growth, velocity, and acceleration for each search query. Based on these metrics, we were able to classify the queries into similar trend patterns. We then curated the most significant trends to illustrate interesting shifts in behavior. Query Deseasonalized Trend 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 Query 2016 Characteristics Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Top Risers a Spotlight on an Extensive List and Decliners Top Trending of the Top Volume Themes Fashion Trends Trend Categories To identify top trends, we categorized past data into six different clusters based on Sustained Seasonal Rising similar behaviors.

UTTERLY CONFUSED CATEGORIES: GENDER NON-CONFORMITY IN LATE MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN WESTERN EUROPE by Marissa Crannell A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2015 ABSTRACT UTTERLY CONFUSED CATEGORIES: GENDER NON-CONFORMITY IN LATE MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN WESTERN EUROPE by Marissa Crannell The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 2015 Under the Supervision of Professor Merry Wiesner-Hanks This thesis argues that gender non-conforming individuals in the late medieval and early modern periods were influenced by cultural examples of “deviant” gender behavior including cross-dressers, religious figures, women with male characteristics, literature, and popular entertainment. The thesis also argues that the fragmented approach historians have previously taken when examining the lives of gender non-conforming individuals has been inadequate and could be improved by envisioning the individuals not as individual anomalies or aberrations, but as participants in a long cultural tradition of gender non-conformity and transgression throughout western Europe.

    shape. At that point, painting felt false to me. It was 1989, post-modernism NYC, and painting was only a superficial illusion coupled with the heavy baggage of male elitism. I couldn’t make or find meaning in it. JS: So you went back to Hampshire? E.V.D: They had added a sculpture course, so I decided to do my thesis in 3D. The only thing I knew how to build was canvas-stretchers, so I started picking up wood scraps and literally building off my drawings. I felt free to finger through all the architecture books where I found Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelb(l)au and Frank Gehry – I wrote a term paper psychologically analysing Gehry’s famous Santa Monica cottage home. I tapped into my passion by immersing myself in studying deconstructivist architecture, constructivist sculpture and relief, and various aesthetics of speed of the Italian futurists. JS: You then headed out to Los Angeles for a couple of years. E.V.D: LA still feels like home, a home that I dream of. I was working for the artist Peter Shelton, who had a beautiful home/studio just north of Malibu. I loved my daily two-hour round-trip drive through the canyons and along Pacific Coast Highway from Silver Lake. He had this large studio and a crew of great guys, and he was working with fibreglass – glassing, as they say in the surfboard shop. I learned so much, mostly doing fibreglass. JS: Which you have worked with ever since? E.V.D: Until very recently.
