The fashion industry is on the brink of a revolution. Today, designers have the latest trends at their fingertips with data gathered from Instagram feeds, runway shows and even changing rooms.

Fashion buyer Steve Brown argues for the opposite: that with more efficient production cycles, designers are free to focus on what they love.
