Topic: Coolhunting


  
  Coolhunting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coolhunting is a word that appears to have been coined in the early 1990s.
Coolhunters operate most notably in the world of street fashion and design, but their work also blurs into that of futurists such as Faith Popcorn.
Coolhunting turned into a global online project when trendguide.com was launched in December 1998 to be the first open source lifestyle trend database with rankings based on users' votes, uploads and comments.

 gladwell dot com - the coolhunt
Ask a coolhunter where the baggy-jeans look came from, for example, and you might get any number of answers: urban fl kids mimicking the jailhouse look, skateboarders looking for room to move, snowboarders trying not to look like skiers, or, alternatively, all three at once, in some grand concordance.
More than likely, though, the coolhunt is going to turn up subtle differences from city to city, so that once the coolhunters come back the designers have to find out some way to synthesize what was heard, and pick out just those things that all the kids seemed to agree on.
Their non-cool coolhunter just didn't have that certain instinct, that sense that told him when it was O.K. to deviate from the manual.

Coolhunting: el ejemplo de modelo de negocio basado en la innovación por usuarios y "algoritmos evolutivos"
Las empresas que utilizan coolhunters están creando modelos de negocio que mezclan la innovación por usuarios (o democrática), y el diseño de productos y procesos basados en procesos adaptativos cuasi-experimentales, que podríamos denominar (sin demasiado rigor académico) "algoritmos evolutivos" (eso si, no planificados).
Y para empezar a conocer algo más, recomenable la definición de coolhunter, una visita a "la enciclopedia" del coolhunting, al blog (uno de ellos) Coolhunting, y a la formación de posgrado (por cierto, en España).
