ONTHEBIASTUDIO FAQs
ONTHEBIAS provides two ways to stay on top of fashion trends:
• Trend Reports Studio (self-serve) — browse and download pre-made trend reports from ONTHEBIASTUDIO's asset library. These are professionally curated reports covering seasonal trends, color palettes, fabric directions, silhouette forecasts, and more. Available to Designer and Professional subscribers as part of the asset library.
• Custom Trend Report Request (1 service credit) — submit a request for a custom trend report tailored to your specific topic, category, season, region, and target audience. Our team researches and creates a bespoke report just for you.
A Custom Trend Report is a done-for-you research service where our team creates a trend report based on your exact specifications. You tell us the topic, category, season, target region, and audience, and we deliver a custom report with relevant trend insights, forecasts, and visual references tailored to your brand and market positioning.
Custom Trend Reports cost 1 service credit for Designer and Professional plan subscribers. If you don't have a subscription, you can purchase a-la-carte Trend Report credits from the Credits page. At just 1 credit per request, it's one of the most affordable service requests on the platform — Designer subscribers can submit up to 10 per month, and Professional subscribers up to 30.
The Trend Reports Studio in ONTHEBIASTUDIO is a self-serve library of pre-made trend reports that you can browse and download immediately. These cover broad seasonal and category trends and are great for general trend awareness and inspiration. A Custom Trend Report request (1 credit) is made specifically for you — you define the topic, season, region, and audience, and our team delivers a report tailored to your exact needs. Use the studio for quick inspiration, and submit a custom request when you need focused research for a specific project or market.
The form asks for:
• Report topic (what specific trend area you want researched)
• Description (more detail on what you're looking for)
• Category
• Season (e.g., Spring/Summer 2027, Fall/Winter 2026)
• Region (what geographic market the trends should focus on)
• Target audience
• Preferred format (checkboxes — you can select multiple delivery formats)
• Target delivery date
• Any additional notes
If you have any questions, please contact a member of our team!
The form includes checkboxes for preferred file formats so you can select how you'd like the report delivered. If the format you need isn't listed, there's a field to specify a custom format. We'll deliver the report in whatever works best for your workflow.
Yes. The form includes fields for both season and region, so you can request a report focused on a specific market and timeframe. For example, you could request a "Sustainable Denim Trends — Fall/Winter 2027 — European Market" report. The more specific you are, the more actionable the insights will be.
Yes. The form includes two upload fields — one for reference images (mood boards, trend examples, competitor lookbooks, inspiration) and another for documents (PDFs, existing trend reports, market research, or other supporting materials). Providing references helps our team understand exactly what direction you're looking for.
Your credit is debited immediately, and you'll receive a confirmation email summarizing your request details (topic, category, season, region, and delivery date). Our team also receives an internal notification with your full brief. Your request status is set to "Pending" and you can track it anytime from the My Requests page.
Yes. Once your trend report is delivered, you can request revisions through the My Requests page. Each revision costs 1 service credit (for subscribers) or 1 revision credit (a-la-carte). You can upload additional reference images and provide notes on what adjustments you need.
If you need trend research across many categories, seasons, or regions — say 10, 20, or more reports — submitting individual requests at 1 credit each is straightforward and affordable. But if you need a large-scale trend research package (e.g., a comprehensive multi-category seasonal forecast across multiple regions), reach out to us directly and we can discuss a custom research package. Message us on WhatsApp (https://wa.me/15714948038)or contact us at info@onthebias.co(mailto:info@onthebias.co)
Yes. You must be logged in to your ONTHEBIAS account to submit a Custom Trend Report request. Browsing the Trend Reports Studio in ONTHEBIASTUDIO also requires a logged-in account with an active Designer or Professional subscription.
Your current credit balance is displayed at the top of the Trend Report request page. You can also view all your balances on the Credits page or in ONTHEBIASTUDIO.
