The Interstoff Asia Directions trend committee will present its apparel fabric trends forecast for Spring/Summer 2007 at Interstoff Asia Spring to be held from 22 ?24 March 2006 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The apparel fabric trends provide designers and textile professionals with the necessary information to guide their creative processes in line with the coming fashion season. The trends revolve around four themes: 'simplicity', 'reality', 'exoticism' and 'vacation'.
Each season, Interstoff Asia commissions top trend forecasters from around the world to devise the trend stories.
The Directions trend committee combines the talent and experience of Elementi Moda (Milan), Here & There (New York), Global Color Research (London), Sachiko Inoue (Tokyo) and Nelly Rodi Agency (Paris).
Together, these leading trend forecasters from the world's fashion centres have combined their expertise and local influences to come up with the themes of tomorrow's apparel fabric trends.
In Spring/Summer 20007 light plays an essential role in the four themes:
?Simplicity: This theme has been inspired by a desire for a natural and easy lifestyle, for a new purity and an elegance coming close to a certain form of romanticism. The theme is also influenced by the ?0s and ?0s and combines refinement with a retro-sport style.
?Reality: A balanced smart-casual style of discreet luxury with masculine connotations is the basis of this theme. Inspiration comes from 'film noirs', foreign countries and an atmosphere of stillness and mystery.
