Trends: Hyperlocalism and Rural Chic

In this trendwatching podcast, Nora Young talks about observing ‘hyperlocalism’ in Toronto, in everything from neighbourhood t-shirts to hyperlocal neighbourhood pride.

Cathi Bond points to notcot’s write-up on this agricultural festival in Paris as more evidence of a trend she’s spotted in agricultural chic, which also includes clothing lines like Farm Boy and Farm Girl.

    Cathi, you’re a hoot! Funny, irreverant, cleaver and delightful - the perfect foil to Nora’s “I’m so bored” attitude.

    Yes, Cathi is delightful. Part of the reason I like doing thesniffer so much. But me, bored? What the what?
