I recently attended the most beautiful
trend presentation for Fall/Winter 2015/16 presented by the Italian group,
Lineapelle. The crux of the presentation revolved around light, and
specifically asked us to consider, “what influence does light play in our lives?”
and “what's it's role in the modern world?”
Against the premise that "color is
light," and that we are seeing a shift towards transparencies and
whitening, Lineapelle’s color trends were as follows.
Trend #1, called "DETOX,"
includes softer and lighter pastels.
Trend #2, entitled "TONING,"
is about seeing life through saturated colors.
Trend #3, called "EX BLACK,"
moves away from strictly black to one that incorporates a heavy addition of
black in to colors to it give an effect of being almost black.
Trend #4, called "DECANTER,"
is made up of deep and warm purples.
Some of the notable observations of
what is trending included that
1) There's a crossover between food and
fashion.
2) There's a new attitude of what
beauty means, and with it is a move towards authenticity and
"normality" including the embracing of our (women's) curves as well
as a "selfie” aesthetic.
3) We’re seeing natural fibers,
including tweeds, together with precise tailoring to create a contemporary
feeling and nostalgia at same time.
4) We are seeing a push to take back
control of what we are doing and going "hyperlocal" with an emphasis
on starting with quality materials.
5) Textiles will be light, airy and
curvy.
6) There’s a strive for simplicity and
minimalism but with character, and smooth clean finishes.
7) There's a visionary aspect of the
season that includes intelligent fibers and products, and wearable technology.
8) Imperfection is the new perfection.
9) We’re seeing strong leather e.g.,
grained leather in camel and oak colors, and steel influences.
10) Oxidization, cracked finishes and
polishes or glosses are emerging as trends.
11) Gold’s prominence is taking a back
seat and we’re seeing it in smaller details now, more as embellishments.
12) Upholstery looks, and very ornate
and rich patterns are trending.
13) Reflected geometries.
14) Fashion is interested in automobile
design - smooth designs.
15) Maxi length in coats and dresses.
16) An oversizing of minimal.
