BASIC PRINCIPLE
What does a trend scout do? A trend scout is someone who is keenly aware of fashion trends and interested in fashion. He can recognize trends when they start to appear and is able to analyze them within a context. He is able to attribute a style to certain magazine styles and knows where certain brands can be bought and what clientele they have. The trend scout gathers these information in a casual way, by talking to friends, to peers, fellow students or by scanning magazines. All this is part of his normal life, he does not have to invest extra energy. The work starts on the weekend. At any point of time when he or she feels like it, she starts to write an email with actualy trends and things that have caught her/his eye. This takes about 1-2 hours. This email will be analyzed by us at the beginning of the week. This email will be paid for! If we see something interesting, we contact the trend scout via email and request deeper rsearch. Depending on the available time and the quality of his insights, a typical trend scout can work between 5-20 hours per month, resulting in a salary of between 10.000 - 40.000 Yen per month.


Where does a trend scout work? From anywhere. All the trend scout needs is a computer and access to the internet to remain in contact with us.

Can the salary rise? A trend scouts works is evaluated by quality. For experienced trend scouts, the salary can rise up to 3000 Yen per hour. This would mean blogging/writing for us for 2 hours on the weekend could result in a monthly salary of nearly 30.000 Yen.

Do I have to have a cretain style in order to participate
? We need all styles, from Gyaru over ViVi style, CanCam, PS, Non-no, cute-style or European high fashion. The deciding criteria is providing us with insights and the quality of those insights. Important is also access to other students and their opinions. You should be well connected to gather information on trends and should be good in social interaction and in judging trends and people.

How can I become a trend scout? All you have to do is write us an e-mail and give us a short introduction on why you think you are qualified. Tell as about the brands you like and which magazines you are reading on a regular basis. We will contact you then. contact
