  • The Black Swan Effect

    The Black Swan effect refers to rare, unexpected events that have huge impacts, and only seem obvious in hindsight. It’s like the butterfly effect; small or unpredictable triggers lead to dramatic, far-reaching consequences.

    In short, it explains how humans underestimate the likelihood of extreme situations, but rely heavily on past data.

    Important attributes include unpredictability; nothing in the past clearly points defined the future.

    It concludes to really big consequences; PESTLE (as learned in my MSc: Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental) or cultural. It’s only afterwards when it becomes obvious and should have been expected.

    Black Swanevents can instantly transform entire industries, markets, technologies, and even society itself.

  • Blogging

    As per usual, I’m at the gym (I can walk! Mission accomplished. Now the stair machine. It’s horrible/exhausting/important to my progress), and I’m listening to this podcast:

    https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-american-life/id201671138?i=1000697170696

    And this really spoke to me. I need to use this platform better. To express myself, to blog about what I’m passionate about. To read audiences.

    I’m writing my dissertation for my MSc now. This takes a lot of “finding myself”… what I want to write about.

    Soooo what am I really passionate about?

    The future. Fashion. Design. Evolution Technology avancement. Trends.

    So, with this, my dissertation is focused on the evolution of wearable tech.

    It’s clear throughout industries, the “digitisation” of various products. So while researching, I’ll hopefully blog my findings.

    Let’s see how this goes…

  • 18/5 – Virtual Trying On

    With the COVID epidemic the fashion industry has taken a huge blow. It seems like everyone is just buying everything online, and this includes fashion.

    Fashion is the perfect mixture of skill & psychologically however fashion is very difficult to do digitally.

    Fashion just doesn’t work if you can’t physically try to on. Psychologically certain garments don’t suit some people.

    Fashion is why us, as animals, differ from other animals.

    Because we need to shop online we have to think how we can use technology to overcome this problem.

    But we have to be innovative with this problem where fashion doesn’t work well without trying on clothes online, but being inventive with technology & how we’ll use technology to help us overcome this.

    So let’s set ourselves away from other species & use this pandemic as a problem to overcome. We can do that through innovation. Come on, let’s evolve.
