Written by Daniel P Dykes

So in it's closing weeks we'll look back at the year that was, a year of highs and lows, great new trends, horrendous looks, and some unexpected comebacks. We're also going to be seeking your input: who defined 2008 for you?
Read on, and have your say.

Traditionalist and futurist are two of the labels applied to Daniel, but he sees the two as being in perfect balance. With a keen eye on the future and his finger on the pulse he helps keep fashionisers everywhere ahead in the fashion stakes as Fashionising.com's lead fashion trend analyst. Believing that the late-2000s credit crisis will be ultimately good for fashion, Daniel sees a future for fashion where grounded in traditional values; where luxury fashion again comes to represent quality production as opposed to being solely label driven.
