KEY TRENDS FOR F/W 2013/14
Sentiment: Snowboarding
Rooted in authenticity, the theme of Sentiment represents the raw nature of snowboarding and its original counterculture. This feeling is translated through outerwear with a “by hand” look – ethnic prints, ornate details, velvet, tapestry inspiration and relief fabrics reflect this crafted aesthetic. Palettes of jet black and ink blue with pops of blazing red and yellow also set the mood.
Quietude: Technical Skiing
Taking nods from being in nature to unplug, Quietude is an ideal theme for technical skiing market where having the best gear is a means for bearing the harshest elements of weather to perform. The story equally caters to ethical and eco practices in outerwear and hardgoods where organic knits, mixed wool and down play a key role. Nature and the outdoors offer inspiration for prints and patterns with softer palettes of pastel yellow, pale pinks and pine green usher in a fresh perspective.
Rapture: Youth
Rapture is a theme that captures a feeling of youthful spirit and spontaneous energy. Ideal for Youth Market, this story is filled with bright color palettes of shocking pink and periwinkle blue along with painterly brushstroke prints and high gloss finishes across outerwear and accessories.
Allegory: High Fashion
Sleek and chic describe the theme of Allegory; set in a palette of ebony, ivory, dark sapphire and bronzed browns. Catering to the high fashion and luxury ski markets, this story encompasses a polished aesthetic, rich with details of noble metals, marbled fleece, fur, satin lining and embossed finishes across outerwear and first layers. Greek symbols and gothic undertones equally bring forth an essence of mystery to this sophisticated world.
