For Summer 2001 a season of hope is predicted in order to overcome the downbeat mood. Four key themes are used to show this transition.
Floreal - is concerned with reconnecting people with natures effervescence and recreating this initial excitement . Inspirations for this theme are the ballet russe, Pollen, Arabian nights, Maharajahs and palaces. Yellow and green are key colours and textures to look out for are linens and shiny sheen surfaces.
Meandering (Errances) - This is the antidote for fast living, time and distance disappear, technology is rejected and everything begins to slow down. The idea of long haul travel, leaving the world behind and taking the time out to daydream or read a book. Inspirations are Arabesque patterns, the modern traveler, the timeless elegance of craft raised surfaces and the idea that everything is natural yet completely modern. Textures are shabby chic, Velvet and thread bear pinks, which all give a sense of understated preciousness!!
Solaris - This themes captures our innate fascination with the things that we don't yet understand and the curiosity we feel when faced with something new to us. In particularly new cultures and far out places such as Egypt, South America and Tahiti. Inspirations are Ethnic patterns/designs, stylized, synthetic materials and craft borderline couture. Textures and materials are straw, fur, shiny finishes, rough/vegetal, hessian and raffia.
Cheerful - A positive season all round. This upbeat lifestyle needs practical clothing, structured silhouettes, fresh colours and simple modern graphics. Key themes are nautical stripes, leather, sexy sports, patterns padding and fun bondage.
