….ein Auszug aus dem sehr zu empfehlenden design blog: designlovr:

…:Denn, was vorerst so fern voneinander scheint – Automobildesign und Mode – ist letztendlich ein Thema, was seine Ursprünge aus den gleichen Themengebieten schöpft. Es geht um Design, Lifestyle und Trends, „bloss mit dem Unterschied, dass die Automobilbranche langfristig, die Modebranche hingegen sehr kurzfristig und schnelllebig ausgelegt ist“, so der Modedesigner und Trendforscher Martin Wuttke von Next-Guru-Now während des Cross-Talks. Nike plottet eine komplette erste Sportswear-Kollektion mit einem 3D-Printer, Diane von Fürstenberg setzt ihren Models Google Glass Brillen auf und der Dialog unter den Kunden wird durch die immer fortschreitende Digitalisierung online angeheizt. Technologie und Mode sind schon lang keine Begriffe mehr, die nicht zusammengehören. Genauso wichtig ist die Nachhaltigkeit mit denen sich Unternehmen wie G-Star, z.B. mit der „Raw for the Ocean“ Kollektion aktuell auseinandersetzen. Wuttke fasst es mit „more taste, less speed“ passend zusammen. Stil ist also nicht nur noch eine oberflächliche Frage, sondern eine ganzheitliche Lebenseinstellung: den eigenen Stil zu finden und Design, ob in der Mode oder bei Lifestyle-Produkten, als Ausdruck der eigenen Persönlichkeit zu sehen, sollte doch der Anspruch jedes Einzelnen sein.„Es geht nicht mehr darum fashionable zu sein, sondern stylisch“, so Wuttke, weil sich Mode und Lifestyle in den letzten Jahren vom „Modediktat“ wegbewegen, sondern
