Where do trends come from?

As we already know, trends are made by different individuals and lead to being a trend when they are similar to the taste of the collective mass.

But to know more about their origin, we have to go back to the middle of the 20th century.
At the time when mass consumption started between 1946-1975 it was also the time trends started to be visible in society. This is also when the consumer society started to evolve.

Due to that trends are relatet to modern spirit and the changes in economy, technology and society.
As part of the idustrial revolution of the 18th century mankind is getting used to new things, and they begin to want to pocess innovations

.

Daniel Bell sais that the capitalism, as one part of our society, not only in economy reins over three big things: politics, economy and culture.

This means that trends can be in all of these three sectors and as well the can be related one to each other.

What are Trends?

Trends are movements of our society, which means that they can concern not only fashion, but also different lifestyles and our daily life. Due to that, a trend can be about the body, the environment, architecture, art, beauty ect.

These movements, known as trends, don't come up in the "gerneral" or "common" society, but are more "subterranean", which leads to the fact that they can stay invisible.

 
So, trends are build by several individual persons, not linked to each other. If this new trend mirrors as well the "collective taste" a new trend is born, and will be copied by the society.

Furthermore these trends can infect and influence culture, politics or economy which means trends can have emotional, intelectual and even spiritual origins.
At last it is important to mention, that trends are directions, the direction as well can determine new trends.
