WORK IN PROGRESS!

Last year we could not offer you the median age for all of the themes. As you can see not enough Fashionistas have entered their age into very good visited instant profiling tests (>next table). Technicians have checked our systems; they are running in the standardized framework. We are working on an explanation for the new behaviour of the Onliners.

INSPIRATION FOR THE PERSONAL STYLE

The Internet is the big looser in this voting about the trendiest inspirations for the personal style. Once the media with the greatest authenticity for Fashionistas' style went behind the top-position to the 5th place!

Fashion people prefer to get inspired on the street, by art, design, and by 'me, myself'.

What has changed the behaviour of the users in the last months? Let's remember the results of the last voting: the online users had a strong active - interactive - approach to the creation of their own style: three of the five first ranked items "Internet", "myself", and "friends" are sources determined by the user himself and change in the moment he interacts.

Now, it looks like as if the users had left the interactive field: on the street they can watch others - but normally don't interact. The inspiring sources art, design won't react either. The only 'interactive' position in this ranking that left is 'me, myself'.

Do the users become weary of bringing in their own energy? An indicator for this assumption is that the active media Internet lost while in the same time passively useable media like TV or printed magazines grew.

MOBILE COMMUNICATION

Have you ever got a boring call from a phone company about the usage of your mobile? Perhaps there have been too many interviews about mobile communication in the last years, because the Online Fashionistas are not willing to speak about their phones any more.

Results from 1 July 07 - 9 March 08:
Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) are the trendiest extra usage of mobile phones. Photo is still the trendiest extra usage of the mobile phone, followed by good old SMS, and on 3rd place music. Writing SMS and video became trendier in the last months; watch TV lost many percentages. This is a vote for running pictures, but perhaps against timed entertainment.

SUBJECT TO SPEAK ABOUT

Since around one year the preferred subjects to speak about constantly change from romantic and spiritual themes like love, religion, peace to the magazine's core themes: fashion, clothes, style, art, culture, design and music. 'Self realization' and the subject 'sex' became more important.

The stronger focus on speaking about 'fashion, clothes' could be explained with better working search engines and the growing understanding of users to find specific information; such as information about fashion at Fashionoffice. It's the nature of the internet to minimize continuously the spreading losses or time for searching with the help of the users themselves while they are interacting with the media - the internet is ‘learning’ the users’ behaviour.

ZODIAC

In the voting of the internet fashionistas about the fashion qualities of zodiac signs, VIRGO gets the highest consensus: it stands for the pedantic one, everything has to fit together. AQUARIUS and LEO are the trendsetter, the early adopter of the must haves; LEO loves exclusivity, wears only top labels and best quality. SAGGITARIUS has the fewest votes for the fashion qualities "pedantic" and "exclusive". PISCES, AQUARIUS, and GEMINI are the signs which are attributed to creativity; TAURUS and CANCER are seen as the comfortable ones.

MUST HAVE: SHOE STYLE for Jeans, Mini-Dress, Long Skirt

The Internet Fashionistas tested their trendiness in Shoe Style and voted for the absolute Must-Haves for Jeans, Mini-Dress, and Long Skirt.

The High Heel Boots are no longer the favorite shoes for Jeans. Sportive Sneakers are the new number one for Jeans. The choice for comfortable shoes corresponds to the results of the voting about the trendiest style.

But Sneakers are obviously only a Must-Have for jeans; don't wear them with a Mini-Dress! The High Heel Boots even lost in the voting for the Must-Have for the Mini-Dress. Elegant Pumps are the favorite shoes for short dresses, skirts.

Flat Shoes are the overall winner in this voting: you can wear them to Jeans, the Mini-Dress and the Long Skirt. Stilettos constantly lost their trendiness in the votings during the last years: it seems as if the sinking popularity has stopped. Elegant Pumps are always a good choice.

MUST HAVE: MATERIAL

Since 2004 the comfortable and practicable cotton is the most favoured material. In 2006 the votes for cotton increased and can be partly explained by the dominant importance of jeans. Cotton is followed by silk and chiffon. Similar to the must haves in clothes (and even shoes), the users vote first of all for “sexy” items: seductive fabrics, which present the body with its sexy lines and curves and let the skin shine through (41,83% in sum for silk, jersey, chiffon). Since 2004 fur becomes more and more important. Stiff falling taffeta is on the last place.

MUST HAVE: STYLE

„An open mind“ is the most important (life)style for the users of online fashion & lifestyle information and entertainment sources and reflects their individual philosophy. Other high ranked styles of personal philosophies and concepts of living are “romantic“ and increasingly "comfortable"; a trend which fits perfectly in the upcoming "casual look" (take a look at the voting results of "Personal Style"). "Romantic", "passion" and "zest" - three items which express a very emotional and devoted lifestyle - became less important.

Personal STYLE

The voting of this field period shows that the trendiest personal styles are Vintage, Classic, Unique and Glamour.

Male :: Female fashion
The results are congruent with the trendiest Men's Style in the positions Vintage and Classic. The 'star'-appearance - connoted with Unique and Glamour - is attributed this year much more closely to females. This circumstance is even reflected in the spring/summer 2009 fashion by the accentuation of female forms with sculptured or voluminous skirts which are taking more room than clothes did the years before. Women's wear becomes this summer season 09 obviously more different to men’s wear.

Additional styles - named in an open question - are Minimal and Urban.


Since the voting 1 July 07 - 9 March 08 we are not asking if "stylish, trendy" or "chic" are the trendiest personal styles, because these answers say nothing. Stylish, trendy, chic are named as the most important words in the open question but don't explain the own personal style. They can be used by the ones who have no concrete idea about the own personal style or by the ones who are switching between different styles.

ACTOR 2008

For the first time the Internet Fashionistas had the chance to vote for an actor; but surprise: the voting for the most fashionable male actor was of no interest for the users. The fact that users of fashionoffice.org are not participating in a voting about "Test your trendiness in FILM! Decide who is the most fashionable actor" is the most interesting result here: this is a decision against a ranking of male actors by the mainly female Internet Fashionistas in fashionoffice.org.

The few votes went to:

Justin Timberlake 38,5 %
Johnny Depp 30,8 %
Brad Pitt 15,4 %
George Clooney 7,7 %
Jude Law 7,7%
MEN’S STYLE + most fashionable actor, trend leading designer for men

The users described with an adjective the trendiest men's style.

The results reflect the current trend for a more simple lifestyle and the growing consciousness for cultural heritage: Modern Vintage is with 26,61% the favorite men's style, followed by Simple (11,59%) and Classical (11,16%).

Metrosexual and Unique - both styles are connoted with dandyism, glam and 'star'-appearance - have lost the most votes compared to the results of last year's voting. It seems as the general trend to think more "we" than "me" has reached the fashion world.

The actor Brad Pitt leads the list of the most fashionable actors and Marc Jacobs is named trend leading designer for men.

MEN’S STYLE 2006

In 2006 the “Globetrotter” is with approximately 41% the winner of the "Trend leading Men's Style" voting. His adventurous style is similar to the “Nomade”, who was the favorite in the years before. The "Globetrotters" open mind, his love for living with foreign cultures, and the comfortable casual, sporty styling with grungy, retro influences have convinced the users. The "Dandy" is ranked on the second position and is a type of "Crossdresser". The "Samurai" is a new style in this ranking. This urban look is new and different to the bonvivant style of the "Sicilian" in the former votings.

"Dandy", especially the British "Dandy" with this relaxed, irresistible retro flair is ranked on the second position. This man has the genius of Sherlock Holmes. James Bond learned from him how to be cool. The “British” touch comes from check, tweed and new Argyle patterns.

"Globetrotter" in the grungy-classical clothes represent the favorite style of the online users. The adventurer loves to live with foreign cultures. Lime and melon of the refreshing oasis, sandy and earthy beige reflect his Saharan spirit.

"Samurai" is an urban style. His clothes have the obligation to serve the owner. The hardware is modern and luxurious: natural fabrics in cotton, silk, tropical-weight wool translate his classical cut clothes into a vision of future.

Globetrotter 40,7 %
Samurai 27,6 %
MEN’S STYLE

The question „What will be the trend leading men’s style 2005?“ evokes a very clear vote:

The „Nomade“ ranks on the 1st place. He wears for example very informal trousers, a comfortable jacket in chocolate brown over a wide cut shirt – worn outside the trousers. His shoes are made for long city walks. Sporty sneakers with retro touch make the image of the modern nomade complete. His philosophy: keep your mind open. The „Crossdresser“ becomes more important in the 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2005. He is the style architect. He lives in traditional role models but at the same time invents his own individual future. His outfit reflects this kind of personal style architecture for example by very British suits in combination with a sporty vest– filled with downy feathers. The „Sicilian“ represents the bonvivant of the 21st century. He mainly lives for intensive amusements at his spare time. So you can recognize him for example by his tight cut suit in pastel tones, provocative ties and eccentric shoes.

HOBBY

In 2006 the users decided that "shopping" is the trendiest hobby of fashionable people. This is the first year “fashion design“ is on the second place (in 2004 and 2005 on the first place). This hobby includes not only the creation of fashion but also the collection of trendy pieces to develop a new and individual style. An important part of the hobby “fashion design” is the intensive interest for all new shapes, styles and trends in the media. "Art" is still ranked on the 3rd place followed by travelling.
