What if fashion trends weren’t just guessed - but predicted with precision?

In this visionary episode of The Runway Society, host and creator Michaela Leitz sits down in Paris with Barbara Maiocchi, CEO, Creative Director & Co-Founder of Livetrend.co , to explore how data, intuition, and cultural fluency converge to forecast the future of fashion.

We dive into:

•How Barbara and her team anticipate trends with accuracy using data and pattern recognition

•Why intuition alone isn’t enough in a globalized, fast-moving industry

•How cultural decoding across fashion capitals sharpens trend insight

•The art of identifying what consumers truly want - before they even know it

•The power of translating raw data into emotionally intelligent decisions

 This episode goes deep into strategy, intention, and building a future-facing industry that sees beyond the next season.

Barbara is shaping a new era of foresight - where trend prediction is not trend chasing, but cultural leadership.

 A curated podcast capturing the voices behind fashion’s most powerful transformations.

Hosted by Michaela Leitz, this series goes beyond surface and spectacle to document the minds shaping the future of the industry - creative directors, brand architects, designers, cultural disruptors, and fashion futurists who rarely get seen, but always move the system forward.

🎙️ This isn’t a trend recap. It’s a cultural archive.

We film in Paris, Milan, New York and beyond - but the frequency is global.

In every episode, we sit down for intimate, unfiltered conversations that explore legacy, sustainability, innovation, identity, and power.                                                  This is fashion as architecture, as memory, as movement.

If you’re here to perform, this may not be your space.

But if you’re here to leave something behind — welcome to the society.
