A mood board, also referred to as a fashionsheets or fashion trend tracker is a visual chart that shows the most popular and current fashion trends around the world. The charts are created by professional, trained trend forecasters who are well versed in the current fashion industry. Using their expertise, they create a mood board with a particular theme that depicts the trends in fashion as of a few days or a week ago. The idea is to give users an idea on what will be the latest trend in fashion when a particular accessory or garment is worn.
Fashion trend forecasters can provide a wide range of information about trends in fashion. They provide information about color trends, fabrics and materials, shoes and accessories, hairstyles, make and style, the season, and current fashion trends. Some websites even offer fashion calculators to determine which the best and most popular item in fashion is currently being worn by a particular celebrity or model. The information is displayed in a table format, where the current fashion trend is given first, then the popularity rank is given next, and the other factors given last (such as the price and popularity of the accessory or garment).
This type of chart is widely used by fashion consultants, designers, and public relations departments of fashion houses. They are particularly useful for showing the different styles of dress in the current collection of fashion dresses in a particular season or how certain pieces of clothing differ from each other seasonally. Fashion trend calculators can be very helpful in determining which colors or designs will be in style this year. Trend consultants are also very useful to business owners who want to know which colors will be popular this season or which products will be a hit in the market because they provide such an up-to-date and accurate depiction of current fashion trends.
