Première Vision Paris/2: new trends in fabrics

September 9, 2011 0

Bonded. That seems to be the keyword for fabric trends, at least at Première Vision fair in Paris. A huge amount of bonded fabrics, in a subtle play of double colours, double textures, different and unexpected aspects of fabrics bonded together in unique combinations. I loved especially a cupro/mélange jersey by “K” Ricciarini and a soft, bicolor, boiled wool by C.O.T.O. by Takisada Osaka. About the colours, we are facing a very bright and brilliant winter next season: the color is propelled into an absolute majority, and minimizes neutrals with a precious sparseness.

ISTANBUL FASHION WEEK RECAP

Fashion village

August 28, 2011 0

For the summer trends we know we have sheer fabrics, crazy, dizzying prints and bright yellow colour from many fashion shows we’ve seen in London Milan, New York and Paris fashion weeks. Istanbul Fashion week was no less. Each designer have treated the trends with a different approach and with their signature designs. While Tuvana Buyukcinar was using the printed long skirts in ikat, Gamze Saracoglu did what she knows best; mini skirts, a very provocative front slit in navy, bright yellow satin and black & white as a classic.
Istanbul Fashion Week is becoming better each year and expectations are going even further. Bloggers, fashion designers, fashion personas all over the world will raid through Istanbul for the fashion in the following year. That is of course our yearning.
