Trends Winter 2012/13:
(Release date: 22 June 2011)

• Pure: Pure is characterised by refreshing modernity against the dominant backdrop of a fashionable retrospective. Simple lines with more volume, high-quality fabrics, refined surface structures and a range of colours from monochrome grey and beige through to intensive winter darks.
• Decadence: A provocative passion with eccentric and extrovert details that make space for a witty indulgent attitude. Starting from a luxurious mink trolley via grey mottled French pleats through to the dramatic appearance of the Dallas and Dynasty characters from the late 70s and early 80s.
• Eclecticism: It is a courageous step between tradition, costume and sportivity with a spike of rusticality that is reminiscent of characteristic and typical Irish styles which create an exciting array of designs, structures, qualities and colours.
• London Spirit: The time of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Carnaby Street and the discovery of Twiggy. It was the start of young fashion and the first boutiques. London was the heart of fashion in those days. Now, 50 years on, the revival of an unusual dynamism and originality is back. Short, scanty, young and graphic.
