Simply by googling "Spring 2010 Fashion Trends," you receive 5,260,000 different links, most of which are less than credible, and by credible, I mean coming from a person who has studied trend forecasting or at least has paid their dues in the fashion industry. It's also a unique perspective that the access given to the general public to fashion shows via images on the internet is contributing to the replica-boom in fast-fashion. Yes, the seven month period between the Fall shows and the actual season does allow for quite a bit of time to replicate silhouettes, patterns, and aesthetics, etc. However, I don't feel that decreasing the public's access to fashion is the answer. I think the fashion industry would do better by trying to create a well-versed consumer and this is done by giving them more access. Many times, people buy designer copies from fast-fashion stores unwittingly, and this is because they aren't knowledgeable about various designer's collections. Once the knowledge is in place, the fashion industry will have to trust in the consumer's ethical perspective of purchasing a knock-offs. Though, yes, some people will still buy these copies because they are less expensive, it is important to provide consumers with all the information so they can make the decision for themselves.
