…trend expert martin wuttke_FRANKFURTER RUNDSCHAU

frankfurter rundschau _ 2011

frankfurter rundschau covers the ILM trend directions…sorry its all in german….but the pictures from the official ILM press shooting (robert lichtenberg)….are amazing in any „language“….have also a look at the first blue article_ pictures…….after the jump.

Weniger Schwarz, Khaki und Beige, dafür mehr grelle Farben, futuristische Formen und trendige Schnitte. Für Martin Wuttke, Fashion-Experte bei der gestern gestarteten internationalen Lederwarenmesse ILM „Winter Styles“ in Offenbach, ist klar: „Die neuen Kollektionen an Handtaschen, Schuhen und Lederbekleidung sind nicht mehr staubtrocken und für die großen Kleiderschränke, sondern frisch und progressiv.“……….. Fashion-Experte Wuttke sieht das pragmatischer: „Einkäufer müssen wachsende Preise irgendwann akzeptieren.“ Gerade bei Leder und Mode habe Qualität eben ihren Preis. Mit den auf der Messe vorgestellten Kollektionen, die sich unter anderem an Science-Fiction-Filmen und am Sixties-Look orientieren, will er den Markt wieder ankurbeln. Jede neue Modeshow bringe einen neuen Trend hervor − und das fördere den Absatz.

2010

der winter 2010 | 11 wird eine saison, die klare positionen bezieht:

es geht um stil, die reinterpretation von eleganz und energiegeladene individualität. selbstbewusstsein in kombination mit neuem werteverständnis und nachhaltigkeit. daher bewegt sich die zentrale aussage für die wintersaison 2010 | 11 zwischen der „neuen natürlichkeit“ und innovativer eleganz

natürliche braunnuancen stehen im mittelpunkt. gleichberechtigt dazu kommen luxuriöse dark’s sowie spannungsreiche neue „POP Up“ farben. neu erstarken soft glänzende behandlungen sowie métallisées. diese glanzlichter wirken speziell in kombination mit schwarz und der grossen bandbreite von neutrals faszinierend neu.

dies zeigt sich auch bei den farbthemen, die unter berücksichtigung internationaler
