Premier Vision is bi-annual trend forecasting conference that predicts what styles, colours and fabrics will be shown on next years catwalks. It is a must-go-to for any fashion brand or anyone with a keen interest.
Fashion blog Fashionista.com recently interview Pascaline Wilhelm, Premier Vision's Director of Fashion for her views and predictions. Here are a few quotes ...
So – what’s awaiting us in 2011-2012? And what are we definitely leaving behind?
Pascaline Wilhelm: We’re going to be less dirty, we’ll stop rolling around in the mud, no more punk nonsense! We will want to be chic, but without trying to hard, and be comfortable.
And what are the silhouettes of the future?
There’s going to be a definite interest in new, bold shapes and intricate silhouettes. The week, curve-inducing materials have been popular: no more skinny, uniform bodies. Instead there is going to be more complex shapes, and an increasing boredom with the basic ‘loose top and tight bottoms’ combination.
There will be new trouser shapes–hybrids that we don’t know how to name yet, like new versions of harem pants and tulip skirts. Shapes will get more sophisticated, in part because of an increase in what kind of fabric is available.
