The annual Hot & Not List of market researcher Klaus van den Berg has been released. Since the early 1990s Van den Berg has been studying consumers, costumers, trendsetters and stakeholders for companies, governments, NGOs and charities. The lists are based on analysis of cutting-edge international lifestyle media.

In 2009 Nigella Lawson (pictured) and Kate Ryan are HOT, but according to Van den Berg, Glamour, Hair Extensions and Desperate Housewives are NOT.

“In good times and in bad, new trends are always a hot conversation piece. This year the coolest charts will be the financial listings and economic overviews. Because people will act more aware, critical and cautious in all aspects of their consumer lives, trends will be cooled down accordingly,” Van den Berg said.

So in 2009 getting back to basics, bargain shopping and toning down are HOT but accessories, personal shoppers and showing off are NOT. Also falling out of favour this year are Hair Extensions, Wannabee Model Competitions, Mediation and Carbohydrates.

“This year’s trends will be less in your face and more ‘tongue-in-cheek’, if not to say ‘tongue-in-chic’, than last year’s. Forget glamour. In 2009 humour will be the best rumour around the trend.”

In late December 2008 Van den Berg said: “In good times and in bad, new trends are always a hot conversation piece. Next year the coolest charts will be the financial listings and economic overviews. Because people will act more aware, critical and cautious in all aspects of their consumer lives, trends will be cooled down accordingly. Next year’s trends will be less in your face and more ‘tongue-in-cheek’, if not to say ‘tongue-in-chic’, than last year’s. Forget glamour. In 2009 humour will be the best rumour around the trend.”
