Well,
i have this subject that is very berry interesting in my master (finally), call International Marketing. The prof is a professional buyer and asked us to make a research what is actually fashion, and what differentiate it from the trend. So here it goes:
In short, if fashion is an ocean, all of those differences would be the various of the sea creatures that exist in it, and we choose one by one of that creatures based on our personal values.
Meanwhile, the trend is like the sea waves, it brings some pieces of the creatures in the ocean to the sea shore and stay there for a while.
So, trend is the latest fashion that is inspired by the runway and the designer latest collection at a precised time. For the first step, these trends will be consumed by the early adopters like the star or socialite that has a power to be in the center of media's attention until finally that style be followed by the follower who look their style in the media.
Conclusion, trend is a part of fashion, their existence linked on another, fashion creates trend and trend creates fashion..
warmest wishes, Ribka Zefanya

Coco Chanel once said Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only, it is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.So, fashion is a way to express one's self, through what you wear (clothes, accessories, haircut, make up) it is about what, when, where and how do you wear it altogether. It reflects your ideas, your identity, your culture, your personality,which generally, it reflects you. People that lives in different part of the world, with different climate and culture will choose clothes differently, as well as people that has different ideas and different life style.
In short, if fashion is an ocean, all of those differences would be the various of the sea creatures that exist in it, and we choose one by one of that creatures based on our personal values.
Meanwhile, the trend is like the sea waves, it brings some pieces of the creatures in the ocean to the sea shore and stay there for a while.
