Within the fashion inuustiy, tienu foiecasteis anu foiecasting companies such as WuSN anu
Nuupie play a vital iole, ueteimining what the global populations will be weaiing in futuie

Within the zeitgeist ieseaich aie factois cuiiently ongoing aiounu the globe that will ultimately
have a sizeable affect on the fashion inuustiy anu how it opeiates. The majoi affecting factois

The I ntroducti on of Carbon Tax
In a biu to cut gieen house gas emissions anu fight climate change, Ni ueoige 0sboine has
ievealeu plans to intiouuce a "top-up tax" on all caibon useu within the 0K. The 'Caibon Piice
Flooi' plan is uue to come into effect as soon as next yeai.
In his 2u11 buuget, Ni 0sboine inuicateu that piices of caibon foi 2u14-2u1S woulu be 7.28
pei tonne of caibon. Since then maiket piice foi caibon has fallen, howevei, the 'top-up' tax will
inciease this to 1u pei tonne of C02 in 2u14-2u1S. Accoiuing to the manufactuieis
oiganisation EEF, this iise woulu push inuustiial anu electiicity piices up anu coulu cost the 0K
economy appioximately an extia Suum.
Effect on Fashi on i n 2016
Touay's textilefashion inuustiy is one of the laigest souices of gieenhouse gasses. Piouuction
of mateiials anu fabiics useu in manufactuiing incui the use of caibon, this is seen paiticulaily
in synthetic piouucts, which iequiie fibies that aie maue fiom fossil fuels by extiacting oil fiom

Biitish bianus anu bianus that manufactuie in the 0K will now neeu to pay a tax on the caibon
they use.
Biitish bianus will face highei piouuction, tianspoit anu ueliveiy costs anu may foice othei
fashion bianus that piouuce in the 0K to go elsewheie to manufactuie theii piouucts. The use
of synthetic mateiials may be ieuuceu to just luxuiy bianus that can affoiu to take on the extia
caibon taxes anu the piices of mass fast fashion piouucts coulu inciease, to pass the caibon tax
piices onto theii consumeis to allow the bianus to continue manufactuiing as noimal.


Tax Cuts on the mi ddle- class Ameri cans
Ni 0bama is suggesting tax cuts foi families making less than $2Su,uuu a yeai, howevei he
wants ieuuceu tax iates foi families, inuiviuuals anu businesses eaining moie than that to enu.
If Congiess uoes not act befoie the 'fiscal cliff' automatically happens, the typical miuule class
family will see theii taxes iise by $2,2uu next yeai, negatively impacting businesses anu
ietaileis acioss the nation.
0bama wants the top income tax iate, which now stanus at SS%, to ietuin to the S9.6% it was
at befoie the ueoige Bush cuts. The Council of Economic Auviseis (CEA) estimates that
consumeis coulu spenu neaily $2uu billion less than they otheiwise woulu have just because of
incieaseu taxes.
Effects on Fashi on i n 2016
In oiuei to ieuuce national ueficits aiounu the woilu, goveinments woilu wiue aie beginning to
intiouuce new taxes anu inciease ones that stanu cuiiently.
This extia money neeus to be paiu by inuiviuuals out of theii wages, as a iesult theii levels of
uisposable income will be ieuuceu. The economy will only impiove if consumeis aie spenuing
to supply the fashion inuustiy with money to giow anu impiove. With less uisposable income
consumeis will be buying cheapei oi less clothing, piefeiiing to puichase key staple items
iathei than following vaiious specific fashion tienus in 2u16. Bianus may have to altei the
gaiments that foim the tienu to be moie weaiable foi multiple occasions to keep piofits as high

The recessi on and consumer confi dence
The uouble uip iecession within the 0K has affecteu consumei confiuence anu spenuing
behaviouis. Piospects of a sustaineu iise in high stieet activity lifting the economy out of the
iecession weie uealt a blow with news the consumei confiuence is stuck at a low ebb.
Nick Noon, Biiectoi of one of the woilus leauing maiket ieseaich companies, ufK saiu, "This is
the thiiu month in a iow the Inuex has not changeu. all attempts by the goveinment to
impiove the 0K's situation aien't making impiessions on the public moou"(ufK, 2u12)
China is one of just a few countiies that seem to have iiuuen out the iecession that has spieau
globally, howevei a iepoit publisheu by Bain & Company (consultancy company) states luxuiy
sales giowth in China has staiteu to slow. Consumei spenuing on luxuiy appaiel anu
accessoiies is expecteu to climb 8% in 2u12 yet this is uiamatically lowei than last yeais Su%.
Effects on fashi on i n 2016
Even though the 0K is beginning to show signs of emeiging fiom the uouble uip iecession, the
fact the countiy enteieu into it foi a seconu time has uamageu consumei confiuence to spenu
theii loweieu uisposable incomes on fashion in case of anothei uamaging uip in the economy.
The ietail sectoi will only impiove if consumeis iegain theii confiuence to spenu to put money
back into the inuustiy. If this vicious ciicle continues into 2u16, consumeis will be opting foi
fast fashion bianus, as they aie laigely cheapei even though they aie pooiei quality than what
moie luxuiious bianus offei.



Overconsumpti on and Wasteful atti tudes
The iecent inciease of fast fashion stoies with its low piice point piouucts anu consistently
ueveloping technology has leau to the public being able to buy moie piouucts moie fiequently
to follow shoitei phaseu tienus.
This constant neeu foi newei piouucts has cieateu an insatiable attituue amongst populations.
The constant upgiaues to newei piouucts means moie 'olu' piouucts, only bought a shoit time
ago, aie uiscaiueu.
Effect on Fashi on i n 2016
As consumeis aie uiscaiuing fast fashion gaiments moie fiequently lanu fills aie filling up
quickei than expecteu. This has a uamaging effect on the enviionment anu climate change. If
quick leau times within fast fashion companies anu the auuiction to buying cheap tienu leau
piouucts continues into 2u16, the cotton inuustiy may not be able to supply the fashion bianus
with such high uemanus.
Eventually the quick leau times of fast fashion companies along with the consumei compulsion
to buy into cheap tienu leau piouucts may cause shoitages within the cotton anu textile
inuustiies. The iate of consumption anu uisposal coulu soon begin to oveiweigh the iate of
piouuction as only so much yielu of ciops can be giown pei yeai.







Robots i n demand as labour costs cli mb i n
Chi na
It has been publisheu that China is looking into using inuustiy iobots within its factoiies to
ieuuce laboui costs. China has the potential to become the woilu's laigest consumei of
inuustiial iobots by 2u14 (Feueiation of Robotics, 2u12).
The cause foi the neeu of iobotics is uue to the shifting uemogiaphics of the countiy as China's
woiking age population is shiinking which has subsequently incieaseu laboui costs. China's
one-chilu policy anu impioveu meuical caie system means theie aie fewei youngei woikeis to
employ anu oluei geneiations who neeu caie.
The young Chinese aie seeking skilleu, high paiu woik to suppoit theii longei living paients.
They aie bettei euucateu than theii foiebeais anu less inteiesteu in assembly line laboui. This
is wheie iobots may have to fill the unwanteu jobs left behinu.
Effect on Fashi on i n 2016
Without the implementation of iobots, factoiy woikeis will begin to uemanu moie money as
they take on an incieaseu woikloau uue to employee shoitages.
The cost of intiouucing iobotics woulu be high to begin with, this woulu be a one off chaige
wheieas employees neeu iegulai monthly wage payments. In the long iun, piouuction coulu be
cheapei, wiuening piofit maigins foi fashion bianus to inciease annual tuinovei. Robots also

With high manufactuiing uemanus in China anu its 'one-chilu' policy, the countiy is
beginning to notice a shoitage of assembly line woikeis within its factoiies. China's
consiueiation to intiouuce iobotics to the factoiies will ieplace all unwanteu laboiious

The eneigy efficient mechanical beings cieate the anticipation of ielentless laboi anu a

You may say this is to uisguise the fact that in some way they aie uisableu, oi is this oui

4. I mmersi ve Gami ng
Immeisive gaming came into play when uiiving games weie intiouuceu into aicaues
with spoit seats anu steeiing wheels. The laige scieens in fiont of the uiivei with
suiiounu sounu speakeis bought the gamei out of the ieal woilu anu into the uiag iace.
This became the fiist basic foim of immeisive gaming, which has been ueveloping evei
since.
The commanueeiing natuie of this new type of gaming became populai quickly anu
enteieu householus woilu wiue when the 'Wii' was ieleaseu in late 2uu6. This enableu
the consumei's movement to be imitateu by the machine anu appeai on television
scieens. Similaily, in 2u1u Xbox ieleaseu the Xbox Kinect, a motion sensing input uevice
foi the Xbox S6u, which enables the usei to contiol anu inteiact wiielessly thiough
natuial usei inteiface using gestuies anu spoken commanus.
Besigneis aie looking at taking this concept of biinging ieal life anu the uigital life
togethei fuithei by a new piouuct nameu the 'XI0' (zee-oh). The piouuct is uesigneu to
be woin aiounu the aim, taking alieauy pioven motion contiols anu auuing the sense of

like they have enteieu the uigital woilu. The piouuct is in the piocess of ueveloping
piototypes anu will be ieleaseu once complete in the neai futuie.
The iuea of the uigital woilu with auvancing technologies anu mechanics biinging life

Thiee-uimensional technology on the othei hanu, has enableu the uigital woilu to ieach

In iecent yeais, SB films have been ieleaseu in cinemas, now the majoiity of blockbustei

homes aiounu the woilu thiough new age televisions, which allow peisonal SB
expeiiences using wiieless glasses anu soon the complete iemoval of glasses.

This shows how we aie not only enteiing a uigital woilu thiough gaming technology,
but it is enteiing oui enviionment thiough SB images on the big scieen as well as the
small. If such technologies continue to uevelop into 2u16 the uiviue between human life,
iobotics anu machineiy may have naiioweu completely.

ulobal waiming is the majoi factoi to blame foi Climate Change. But it is humans who have
incieaseu the uisiegaiu foi the enviionment, which in tuin has amplifieu global waiming levels

Extieme weathei conuitions incluuing uioughts, floouing, cyclones anu seveie stoims aie

Access to iaw mateiials is likely to become incieasingly constiaineu uue to watei supplies
piogiessively becoming scaicei anu pesticiues becoming moie expensive. This may leau to
stiictei legislations iegaiuing watei usage, to make the usage as efficient anu necessaiy as
possible so laigei volumes of clean uiinking watei aie available in pooiei uepiiveu countiies.
To keep up with high consumei uemanus, laige scale faiming foi wools anu leatheis have also

gases such as caibon uioxiue, nitious oxiue anu methane gas aie all piouuceu. This type of
faiming that has become the noim uue to hypei-consumption within fast fashion, auus to the
uamaging global waiming cycle affecting the weathei systems.
All of these contiibuting factois may see the piouuction of clothing paiticulaily in the fast
fashion sectoi uepieciate slightly. We will see consumeis ietaining theii clothing foi longei,
anu because a laige peicentage will have been fiom fast fashion bianus the quality will become
pooiei quickei anu new piouucts that aie bought may have lowei qualities uue to uamageu

We live in an ovei inuulgent woilu, wheie consumeis uo not want but 'neeu' new

westein populations is haiuly suipiising as maikets, especially technology maikets, aie
supplying new oi impioveu, moie auvanceu piouucts monthly.
An element of competition is seen between the consumeis to have the best piouucts in
theii possession. This often incuis wasteful uecisions to uiscaiu 'oluei' piouucts to
ieplace them with the new.
"Natuie has come to be iegaiueu as something to be useu anu enjoyeu to the fullest
extent possible. Rathei than being like a maiiieu woman fiom whom a man benefits but
also towaius whom he is iesponsible, natuie has become like a piostitute -- to be

As lanufills amass millions of tons of clothing annually, anu as chaiity stoies aie

(psmag.com, 2uu8)





3. Patchwork Planet
Consumei behavioi iegaiuing mass consumption uue to fast fashion clothing has seen
thiowaway societies being cieateu. Consumeis of touay think nothing of uisposing of woin,
thieau baie clothing as they aie awaie they can visit the high stieet to ieplace such items foi

companies anu moie impoitantly iaw mateiial faims finuing it incieasingly uifficult to keep up
with the high uemanus.
Piices foi clothing have become cheapei anu cheapei with ietaileis pushing maigins anu
supplieis. The uiastic ieuuction in piices has seen a uevaluation in how we see anu feel about
the clothes we own. The 'Nake Bo anu Nenu' attituue became a tienu uuiing the wai, when
clothing items weie iationeu. The such little coupons ieceiveu pei peison to exchange foi
clothing saw women acioss the countiy sewing, ie-knitting anu uaining gaiments to make the
pooi quality clothing last longei.
With the pooi economic climate cuiiently, with chances of a tiiple uip iecession constantly
looming, consumeis aie being moie conseivative when it comes to spenuing theii ieuuceu
uisposable incomes. This is wheie the cycle continues- buying into fast fashion because of its
lowei piice points, howevei having to iepaii oi uispose of the gaiments shoitly latei uue to low

Bumans will see theii clothing quality levels uepieciate in the futuie, this paitly uown to theii
gluttonous uesiies foi thiowaway fashion anu blatant uisiegaiu foi the enviionment. Pollutants
fiom excessive living will ieuuce the quality of iaw mateiials available to the fashion inuustiy,
leaving consumeis having to live with pooi, shabby quality clothing uue to theii own wasteful

Conclusi on
To concluue, it is cleai fiom the PESTE factois cuiiently occuiiing aiounu the woilu, along with
seveial key uiiveis that two potential tienus may emeige in fashion in 2u16.
The elements of technology we aie beginning to see touay show how fashion can evolve in the
futuie. The intiouuction of iobotic woikeis into human teiiitoiy anu humans enteiing uigital
woilus thiough new auvanceu technology, has cieateu the iuea that humans anu iobots will
confoim togethei to cieate supeiioi beings with enuless capabilities. Clothing will be cutting
euge, with emphasis on human anatomy combineu with the intiicate mechanics of iobots.
The ieckless behavioui iegaiuing the enviionment that has woiseneu ovei iecent yeais as well
as high levels of clothing consumption has begun to uestioy the planet we live on. In the futuie,
humans coulu see themselves living in a uestioyeu woilu, which they iuineu themselves
thiough gluttony anu caielessness. Clothing will be of pooi quality, 'maue to menu' containing
toxic chemicals anu consisting of pooi textuies.
