I think part of the problem when discussing fashion is that it is a qualitative discussion and not quantitative. It's really hard to gather or generate data on fashion appeal, or any other art form really.

If you're asking for localized sales figures even those could lag behind by several months of the fashion trend. Which can start off in small trend setting circles and expand as word of mouth spreads on what is in. So, I think data this early would not be as pertinent to the conversation as it would be several months down the line to see if this articles thesis is justified.
