Trends and ColoursSummer 2009
PARADISE NOWFashion discovers a new light-heartedness. Gone is the age o austerity in patterns and colours. Imagination
and optimism express themselves in a sensory, multi-aceted palette o shades. P rints and coloured abric lead
into a paradisiacal garden with eervescent creativity. Dreamy blossoms, vegetal ornamentation and ancient
motis o archaic cultures are re-interpreted in modernity and have us looking on in wonder. All o this on
abrics which describe silhouettes playully and with reshness and relieve them o any sign o heaviness.

01 - COLOURS
1 - NATURAL BEAUTYThe deeply elt longing or authentic naturalness expresses itsel in sot, light neutral shades. Chalk, paper, par-
chment, corn and leather add natural nuances. Sky blue rereshes like a summer breeze. A relaxed allure banks
on sophisticated natural blends and ligree, unobtrusive patterns. Relaxed urban shapes characterize a timeless
modernity which has no need to orce itsel into the oreground.
2 - FLOWERINGOptimistic blossoms transport a colour palette ull o sensory emotions. Coral, lilac, poppy and mimosa a rouse
eelings o spring. Prints and coloured abrics provide them with rhythm in new diversity. Transparencies, silky
suraces and fowing Jersey create a eminine eeling. The light-heartedness o the fower children provides
inspiration or imaginative outts which playully display creativity and individuality. Fluo spots add uturistic
stimulation.

3 - LIQUID SPACEGreen is the new sel-conception o a generation which brings ecological awareness and modernity into har-
mony with each other. Vegetal and aquatic worlds ascin ate with their diversity o kinds and orms. The shades
o shimmering water suraces are the motivation or resh green and blue nuances. Vegetal greens extend rom
casual khakis to intensive chlorophyll. A sporty look in contemporary unctionality provides new chances or
technics in bres and nishes.
4 - IMPROVISATIONExotic paradises move ever closer as a result o modern travel and communication habits. Their tribal messages
are archaic basic patterns, whose appeal has retained its strength to this day. Deep, dark exotic woods, tradi-
tional indigo or the powerul accents o tropical fowers or birds o paradise embody expressive harmonies. As
in World Music or cuisine, the shades are combined like samples. The most varied directions o olk a nd street
culture infuence fow into a very individual style and personal remix.
