| Summary |
"Drawing on his research, trend sociologist Henrik Vejlgaard unearths clues about how trends emerge and go mainstream and examines the influential individuals who make this happen. Throughout are real-life stories of both famous and anonymous movers and shakers who have had worldwide influence in changing our styles of living, including business leaders, designers, and artists, while also conveying the development of little-known trends that illustrate the trend's life cycle. Anatomy of a Trend explores every level of this process - making it easy for you to benefit from the social dynamic that causes trends to take off and spread."--BOOK JACKET |
