Parallel structure is when you have different phrases or clauses that have the same grammatical structure.

In the last sentence:

Fashion forecasting involves predicting future trends by observing changes in the current situation and learning from past trends.

Forecasting, predicting, and observing, all end in "ing" which gives this sentence parallel structure.
