Trends for Spring/Summer 2019 are inspired by meditation and well-being, both physical and mental, with a colour palette that can positively affect your mood. The fun and funky bohemian look abounds with retro detailing, conjuring up a feeling of summer and visions of faraway places.
Another big trend is the search for authenticity, taking the form of timeless accessories, prints and patterns representing the desire to take a stance and fight for one’s convictions. Shapes are minimalist, classic or revisited; colours, on the other hand, are bright and vibrant.
IN TOUCH – WOMEN, KIDS
In Touch is the most introspective of the trends for Spring/Summer 2019. Well-being, especially with oneself, becomes a new source of inspiration. The
design of accessories, jewellery and shoes in fact are inspired by meditation and colour therapy, according to which colours are selected and used in order to have a positive effect on the mood of those wearing them. Shoe shapes are minimalist, almost conceptual. The latest generation of footwear materials are particularly pleasing to touch, create a shimmery watered effect and combine with the warm tones of the palette to produce bold and unusual nuances.
IN TOUCH – MEN, KIDS
The theme of physical and mental well-being also inspires the In Touch trend for men, together with references to the world of technology. Classic forms and shapes, revisited, create a flexible and functional design. The wide colour palette uses tones and prints with a relaxing effect. Colours are light and bright, so as to create a greater contrast with the materials used for the finishing. The nuances reflect a sense of tranquillity and have been carefully selected to influence the mood of the wearer and induce a new sense of spiritual well-being. The brighter tones give an almost chromatic effect, while soft pastels intermix to create subtle delicate contrasts.
COMMON GROUND – WOMEN, KIDS
Common Ground is the desire to return to one’s origins and reconnect with one’s roots and traditions. The Bohemian trend for spring/summer 2019 looks back over the decade from the ‘90s to the beginning of the 2000s.
A stylistically fecund period returns to the scene with references to pictorial art and interior design. A colour palette of warm earthy tones is offset by brighter shades to create a sumptuous, luxurious look.
