Extreme delicacy and translucency are equally important as soft, voluminous looks, for example in velour or with wool embroidery. Lightness is achieved in part through high-tech fibres, but also through voiles, crepes, tulles and fine lace. Punch-outs, burnouts and ajour join in for added effect.
Next to felted and flannel surfaces, sparkle and shimmer are also represented, taking the futuristic role. The curtain has risen, then, for effect yarns, papent, the play of matt/glossy as well as gradients and metallics. Gentle colour gradients round out the picture, along with fine stripes, micro-patterns, grid and net textures and light/shadow designs.
Multiply:
Individuality is the trump card. Here you'll find a colourful, global hodgepodge that combines western and eastern influences with sport and streetwear elements. Bold colours and daring patterns reflect the fashion spirit from the streets of the world. The result: bodywear—classic, casual or sporty—that is modified with eye-catching ethno accents.
The gaudy palette with intense red and pink shades, violet, yellow, turquoise and green—as areas, accents or patterns—allow neutrals to especially shine. The mix of technological and natural materials by all means has its place here. Solids appear with bold colours or subtle textures and gain expressive power through gradients and blends.
Decoration is used both in areas and as an accent; handiwork embroidery and knit looks enrich the appearance. Coloured stripes and blocks, as well as contrasting facings, edges, seams or sippers also set accents. Digital prints and silkscreen looks can be found, as can floral, abstract and geometric themes that never deny their global origin.
Obscure:
Daring and extravagant, a bridge is built here between the decorative elegance of Art Deco and modern clarity. Sophisticated, valuable materials with illusionist patterns, as well as an expressive darkness of colour that sometimes allows lustre and light effects to shine through, are in the focal point.
Comfort, perfect shapes and clever details all have their day, lent an artistic impression through depth of colour and warm intensity such as created by wintry reds, night colours or sensual pastels. Silky fabrics, crepes, jerseys and jacquards are ideal for the realization.
But also lace backgrounds, imaginative nets, fluffy voile or striped tulle fulfil the demand for the appearance of fine fabric. Opulence is represented through broderie anglaise, fine guipure lace, shallow pleats, drapes and elegant mini-patterns.
Diffuse textures, stripes, waves, arabesques and paisleys appear as colourful motifs, while imprints and prints in velvet and velour lend a nostalgic touch. Punch-outs, imprints and laser cuts stand for modernity.
Flowers and flower petals appear at times as all-over patterns, at times as garland or as colour accents. Matt/gloss and matelassé effects, animated cloques and fine lustre are also not be missed here.
