What if fashion trends weren’t just guessed - but predicted with precision?

In this visionary episode of The Runway Society, host and creator Michaela Leitz sits down in Paris with Barbara Maiocchi, CEO, Creative Director & Co-Founder of Livetrend.co , to explore how data, intuition, and cultural fluency converge to forecast the future of fashion.

We dive into:

•How Barbara and her team anticipate trends with accuracy using data and pattern recognition

•Why intuition alone isn’t enough in a globalized, fast-moving industry

•How cultural decoding across fashion capitals sharpens trend insight

•The art of identifying what consumers truly want - before they even know it

•The power of translating raw data into emotionally intelligent decisions

This episode goes deep into strategy, intention, and building a future-facing industry that sees beyond the next season.

Barbara is shaping a new era of foresight - where trend prediction is not trend chasing, but cultural leadership.
