Trends Fall-Winter 08-09

Both the exhibitions and catwalk provide good hints of the buyers' changing tastes as well as the final customer´s. From the most classic to the most avant-guarde, the different ways to success are seen on the EuroBijoux Catwalk.

GENTLE SEVERITY

Austere yet luxurious style, slightly androgynous, combining masculine and feminine elements. Materials with a soft, natural and luxurious appearance, and which are associated with simplicity.

PLEASANT PROTECTION

Futuristic style and soft, voluminous ‘cocoon’ shapes, a sporty look, padded, synthetic fabrics and neoprene which are combined with a subtle natural touch.

STYLISH SEDUCTION

The precursor of a new elegance, Art Deco influences, inspired by the haute couture of the 1920s and 30s but modernised and brought up-to-date. Refined cuts, sophisticated drapes and a sophisticated colour palette and materials.

RESOLUTE FREEDOM

Young, urban story that reflects subcultural movements and the phenomenon of the philosophies that emerge from street movements. An alternative lifestyle that combines ‘trash’ aspects with ethnic and romantic influences.
