trend confirmation su_14_cph fashion week

esigners remix catwalk show was aonther highlight…the location was europes biggest salt water aquarium, so the show was enriched with sharks, stingrays and barracudas, to underline the theme of the su 14 collection : the deep blue sea. the wood wood was solid…emotinoal…sportwear driven…with a touch of hyper modern nautic touch: the nappa two tone coloured leather jackets were our favorites.

concerning the fairs it was a big surprise to see that the ciff has developed very successfully, even in a high end fashion direction with brands like christopher raebrun and style butler the ciff proved that the fair is back again stronger than ever.

cph vison was less street orientated, more casual and female. the gallery was once again our favourite: inspiring, fresh, with a very well selected mix of conceptual fashion brands, neo streetwear lines an a strong accessory offer.

see you next season copenhagen. thanks to the press teams of all fairs an showrooms for the über professional service and organisation: one ticket for all fairs—free shuttle services to all fair locations

…interview mit nextguruNow in der TM accessoires

…im interview mit cordelia albert gibt es einen einblick in die arbeit unserer agentur….trend research_ design entwicklungen…..: TM Edition No. 02 Shoes & Accessoires März.

Die Berliner Trendagentur nextguruNow hat sich auf Design-Dienstleistungen und Trend-Prognosen im Bereich Mode und Accessoires spezialisiert. Mit Uta Riechers-Wuttke und Martin Wuttke sprach Cordelia Albert über die Trends von morgen, Inspirationsquellen und die schöne Welt der Accessoires. Interview: Cordelia Albert, Fotos: nextguruNow

Frau Riechers-Wuttke, Herr Wuttke − heute New York, morgen Paris. Immer sind Sie − ich sage es mal etwas salopp − auf der Jagd nach den neuesten Trends. Wie war denn die „Beute“? Was haben Sie gesehen? Wie lautet Ihre Trendvorhersage?

Martin Wuttke: Um es vorweg zu sagen, der Begriff Trendvorhersage sollte nicht falsch verstanden werden. Da wir meist bereits ein ganzes Jahr im Voraus Aussagen über neue Richtungen im Bereich, Farbe, Form und Material treffen, geht es darum, für unsere Kunden die „Marschrichtung“, die generelle Ausrichtung der Trends zu skizzieren und griffig zu definieren. Dies ist sehr übergreifend und betrifft die Bereiche Lifestyle,  „consumer attitudes“, also Verbraucherverhalten,, Musik und natürlich Fashion und die konkreten Produkte. Bei unseren individuellen Beratungsverträgen gehen wir dann noch spezifischer und punktgenauer auf die einzelnen Produktentwicklungen ein bis hin zum konkreten Designprozess.

Uta Riechers-Wuttke: Zu Beginn der Saison wurde auch von uns viel über „das neue Schwarz“ und die dunkle Trendthematik „Dark Angels“   gesprochen. Hier stellte sich im Laufe der Ordersaison heraus, dass die
