Explanation:

Fashion forecasting is the prediction of upcoming trends by professionals who predict the colors, fabrics, textures, materials, accessories, and overall style that will be present in runways and stores during the upcoming seasons. Yarn manufacturers may have to alter their costs, production schedules, suppliers, logistics and overall their business to cover an increase in demand or a decrease. Fashion brand managers are specially involved, as they must make sure their brands and designs stay current so they will remain competitive in the market. School principals have little involvement as their job does not directly relate to fashion.
