of gold or a touch with the holy grail of a new creative
movement or invention? You might just find a trend
that you could jump in and capitalize on?
Maybe Cool Hunting will stimulate your creative juices?

Dee Dee Gordon is a cool hunter. . . .
"Well, the cool hunt is an idea. It's this whole notion of trying to get at trends at the source, to figure out where they're coming from. If you know where they're coming from, then you can get a head start. Particularly in the apparel business, head starts are everything, right? It's all about the first person who has their product there right at the moment.

The second thing is that . . . if you have a good idea about where trends are coming from, then you at least have a chance at influencing their movement. That's a much harder game, and I think it's a very difficult game. But really, for many of these firms, it's kind of the holy grail. They'd like to be able to think that they can come out with a product or a toy, or a fashion item, and be able to create a trend around it. They're always sort of chasing that goal."
