Timelines
Evolved from WGSN's A/W 10/11 Emotive macro trend Storytelling has evolved to awhole new level as we take ajourney in time and place.The historic past, the here andnow, and fast-moving sciencefusetogether to create the future.It’s the mix of multi-layered references that creates something new. Key words: Filter. Process. Time Hybrid. Fresh Narrative. Archive. Curate. Record.






Sensory
Evolved from WGSN's A/W 10/11 Inventive macro trend Give consumers new mental andphysical experiences. Immersethem in emotional technology.As the barriers between the real and virtual worlds come down, a neopsychedelic aesthetic emerges. Key words: Immerse. Enhance. Intense Connection. Taste. Hear. Feel.Kaleidoscopic. Disruptive.






Fair & Square
Evolved from WGSN's A/W 10/11 Useful macro trend Simplify your message – paredown and focus on essentialqualities. Design is key – modern and pure, yet always warm. Key words: Pare Down. Focus. In Touch.Warm. Straightforward.Alternative. Reliable. Close.

WGSN Fashion Forecasting Textile Trends

AUTUMN/WINTER 2011/12 Textile Directions Dragged Stretched, pushed and forced yarns create slow, continuous motions in both graphical pattern and morphing surface construction. Dust Atomised particles of powder-fine and micro granular dust inspire new surface perceptions and handles for natural fibre fabrics. Iridescence Light-responsive and chameleon- like in its ability to adapt to its environment, gentle prismatic shine reflects a new tactile surface decoration that is changeable, holographic and almost alchemic. New Skin The naturally evolving patina of metal inspires hammered, tiled, indented, beaten and eroded structures, which are buffed and polished or left to naturally oxidize, pushing new evolutions in wearable metal textiles. Free Form Process dictates form, as freely manipulated surfaces create controlled randomness.. Ceramic Updated ceramic inspired matte surfaces become more pared back and simple, with warmer tactile and unfinished aesthetics evolving for the autumn/ winter season using noble fibres.
