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.
(l-r) Amanda Laird Cherry, Colleen Eitzen, Gugulam, Guillotine, Soda and Terrence Bray.
2. The trend to mix different textures are going to be huge - romantic soft fabrics combined with wool, knits and leather – creates a very individual look for the different labels.
(l-r) Gideon, Amanda Laird Cherry, Ephymol, House of Ole, Lunar and Sies! Isabelle.
3. There is a tremendous focus is on on detail within design and combination of fabrics to enhance it.
