On March 27, the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) will hold a fashion forecast seminar in Tirupur in partnership with the global fashion forecasting business WGSN.

The seminar will take place in Thirumuruganpoondi, Tirupur at the end of the month and will focus on fashion forecasting for micro and small knitwear units. The fashion forecasting seminar, which has taken place for over a decade in Tirupur, will focus on key influences for the upcoming season as well as the emergence of macro trend themes. Trending colours, silhouettes, textiles, graphics, and prints for women, men, and children will also be covered at the event with a strong focus on products. 

“Large apparel companies have their own fashion studios and expertise to analyse the future trends,” the vice-chairman of the AEPC, A Sakthivel, told TNN. “But, micro and small units can not afford the infrastructure. The seminar will help them get an idea of colour, styles and trends.” 

The event is open to fashion designers, brand promoters, consultants, and students. Experts from WGSN, Kim Mannino and Amy Hendry, will also be on hand at the event to interact with guests.
