We have taken Li Edelkoort’s trend forecast and matched it with what the SAFW designers showed for Winter 2010. This is the result:
1. There will be more Collaboration between Master Crafter and Designer in the future of fashion – Designers using craft to create their own identity.

3. There is a tremendous focus is on on detail within design and combination of fabrics to enhance it.
4. The long day dress as well as full length evening is back.
5. Variations of the long pants as well as shorts were features in the Winter Collections – there is a movement away from the very tight to a more loose and comfortable look. Jumpsuits and bodysuits follow this look.
6. The over coat is making a comeback it was featured in most collections – It is a lighter in between seas on overcoat.
