Short answer: Heuritech forecasts fashion trends by analysing images posted on social media. The best alternative depends on what you need: WGSN or Fashion Snoops for researched, long-range forecasts; EDITED or Trendalytics for retail and market data such as assortment, pricing and demand; or your own sales, search and social data for signals only you see. All of them stop at the insight; turning a trend into product still needs a brief, a design and a tech pack.
