Her career is marked with major acknowledgements of her ability to understand the fast changing trends and her enduring presence in the fickle industry of Trending for over 20 years. Ms. Hahn is the Consultant at Fast forward Trending, a global firm based in New York. It is Ms. Hahn's exceptional ability to forecast not only design and color trends, but for applying them to social trends for marketing that has led her to become one of the most influential consultants in the consumer product industry.

Ms. Hahn started her fashion career in retail/buying, she began with Macy's, and continued with Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, B. Altman's in New York and Selfridges (London).

In 1983 Ms. Hahn took her first position in the trend forecasting field at Cotton Inc. The alliance with Kimuratan (Japan) during 1985 was the impetus for her to start her own consulting firm, which has grown to the current family of companies that she is involved with.

The French forecasting company, Promostyl, Paris was her next alliance, and from 1990, for five years she held the position as Creative Marketing Director for Promostyl USA.

In 1992 Ms. Hahn founded bureau de style, inc., a consulting firm that distributed Trend forecasting publications including Promostyl, Carlin, Milouket, Pantone, etc. It is credited as one of the most influential trending companies in the world. After she served as the company's Director for eight years, it was restructured to accommodate the new trend for customized projects, excluding the sale of trend publications.

During her time at bureau de style, inc. Ms. Hahn also held a three year long position as the International Director of Color and Trend for adidas International (Germany), where she was responsible for the development of the "International Colour and Trend Division".

Due to the success of futuremode, it became a separate independent company. By 2005 both companies were combined into one again, becoming Fast Forward Trending, part of the Fast Forward Group, which exists to this date.

Throughout her career, her ability to take positions internally with product companies has been a very important part of her ability to understand the balance between commercialization and product creation. To this aim, she served as Vice President, Women's Division in Rockport/adidas heading all products for Women. She served from 2008 – 10.
