What is your secret to uncovering trends?
Finding a handful of key websites/blogs by taste-makers and following them, observing patterns in among the activity on the different sites. This involves: 1) Spending the time to look 2) Having the taste to distinguish between quality and passe sites/blogs AND trends/info 3) Consistently being involved online, checking these chosen websites and looking for new ones on a daily basis.

The connectedness and fast-paced interaction among trendhunters and editors, and the diversity of trends hunted and published.
What is your favorite trend?

How do you reset to be creative?
Getting in tune with my intuition when it comes to likes and dislikes, rather than intellectualizing what's cool or not.
