Every year, I send Mike a short list of trend predictions, based on a mix of bibliomancy (with city subbed for bible) and wishful thinking. Mike sends it to Cary. Cary writes a beautiful e-mail related to her feelings about things on the list.

you didn't happen to go to the trend union presentation on wednesday in the tishman auditorium did you.............?
i didn't. what was it?
Bi-annual presentation of trends by Li Edelkoort for the design community. Wednesday was for New School students and was presented by Emmanuelle Linard from their NY office. She was talking about Autumn / Winter 2010 / 11. Personally I think Li Edelkoort is a genius and I love her presentations as they encompass all aspects of culture, politics etc. She has a wonderful presence and I find her fascinating and smart! Emmanuelle Linard....not so much but the presentation was good anyway!! Next presentation is Spring / Summer 2011 by Li Edelkoort on December 1st.
how does my trend list match up?
ah, not too well I'm afraid.......
let's see who gets it right!
