Abstract

To overcome the challenges in fashion trend forecasting, researchers have introduced several advanced and data-driven approaches. One such method uses a long short-term memory (LSTM) model combined with an encoder-decoder architecture to extract meaningful fashion content and recognize styles from product images. This model achieves higher accuracy in predicting upcoming fashion trends by incorporating varying price intervals and has shown impressive results when evaluated on the Amazon fashion dataset. Another forecasting model focuses on analyzing the evolution of fashion styles over time. It can detect and predict new combinations of styles, identify recurring patterns, and distinguish between emerging trends and timeless classics. This model's effectiveness has been validated using a dataset of 80,000 fashion products sold on Amazon over a period of 6 years. In addition, the Fashion Attributes Recognition Network (FARNet) has been developed to enhance attribute prediction by simultaneously identifying multiple fashion attributes and correcting noisy labels, which commonly occur in large-scale datasets. FARNet has demonstrated substantial improvements over previous methods and has been applied to the RichWear dataset, comprising over 322,000 images sourced from an Asian social media platform. Through image clustering and refined label prediction, FARNet has proven useful in identifying regional and street fashion trends, especially within Asian markets. Together, these models represent a significant advancement in the ability to predict, analyze, and adapt to changing fashion landscapes using deep learning and large-scale visual data.
