Once trending back in the 80s, catsuits have recently appeared on various celebrities such as Dua Lipa and Lizzo. Catsuits now come in a variety of designs &#8211; from floral ones to bright bold colours \u2013 there are even catsuits that come with built-in heels for maximum elegance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to fashion styling, catsuits are perfect for any aesthetic and style.&nbsp; Striking a balance between strength and femininity, the body-hugging silhouette evokes a sense of power and sensuality without being overly revealing. Think ultra-trendy with great panache.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How brands manage to hop on to the catsuit trend is through market research. Aside from just trend forecasting, brands must also ensure that they incorporate the latest trends into their visual identity, blending seamlessly across digital experiences and in-store merchandise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-trend-research-excursion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trend_Research_Excursion\"><\/span><strong>Trend Research Excursion<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like how brands keep up with the trends, at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/school-of-fashion-and-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MDIS School of Fashion and Design (SFD)<\/a>, our fashion students are also kept up-to-date with the latest in the fashion industry. This time, our SFD Associate Lecturer, Ms Sarala VK conducted an out-of-classroom activity learning session with the fashion students from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/-international-foundation-diploma-in-fashion-design-and-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Foundation Diploma (IFD) in Fashion Design and Marketing<\/a> cohort.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-fashion-and-the-city\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fashion_and_The_City\"><\/span><strong>Fashion and The City<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The students had the opportunity to get a glimpse of a few sets in Mediacorp as well as take a trip down to Orchard. At Mediacorp, one of the sets the students visited was Vasantham\u2019s&nbsp; \u201cYaar En Stylist\u201d fashion competition. Our fashion students were able to observe the contestants\u2019 design process, as well as how they created their final prototype for the competition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After exploring Mediacorp, the students headed over to Orchard Road to see how brands handle their retail aspects as well as brand development. Over at Design Orchard, they learned about concession retailing and how brands weave together their brand stories, packaging, layout, and visual display. Aside from Design Orchard, Ms Sarala VK brought the fashion students along Orchard Road to apply the fashion theory that they have learned in class to real life. The students went around various iconic stores such as Gentle Monster and Christian Louboutin to learn about the several types of brick-and-mortar stores such as mono brand, franchisee and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"880\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IFD-Excursion.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IFD-Excursion.jpg 880w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IFD-Excursion-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IFD-Excursion-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IFD-Excursion-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IFD-Excursion-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><figcaption>Ms Sarala VK and her students at Design Orchard&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Out-of-classroom activities such as excursions help to create a holistic learning experience that equips students with better knowledge, observation skills and awareness of the fashion community.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-school-of-fashion-and-design\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"School_of_Fashion_and_Design\"><\/span><strong>School of Fashion and Design<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking to kick-start a fashion business or simply just eager to break out in the fashion industry?
