TRENDS & SOURCING FASHION
LINEN DIRECTIONS AUTUMN - WINTER 23.24 - ADVANCED CRAFT
After an ON AIR spring/summer with an emphasis on lightness and silhouettes in flight, the ADVANCED CRAFT theme positions linen as an indispensable partner in outdoor and outer apparel.
Both insulating and heating, linen has a myriad of uses thanks to its technical and environmental characteristics. Jackets and coats make up a colourful, flexible wardrobe, augmented through technical performance for external use, from business wear to outdoor chic. The need to be outside, out and about, in nature or in the city, feels like a welcome change after the casual/loungewear wave of the past 2 years.
The world of denim that is universal and unifying has mastered the art of cultivating the feeling of use, accepting the natural patina and traces of wear and tears of jean fabric - the footprints we leave behind.
The casual, gender-less wardrobe makes up the building blocks of our lives. It can be classic, punk, or even couture, and is a powerful element for self-expression with potential for a million personalized permutations.
Maintaining these key traits and welcoming a diversity of visuals and colours always helps to usher in new developments. Continuously reworking casual fabrics and jean archetypes for everyday pieces, mixed with chic, sport, or a touch of grunge.

Although it has been declared outdated, the suit continues to evolve in the present and future.
Rigorous cuts, top-quality materials, an eye for detail, attaching equal care to the hidden side and face side of fabric meets the needs of modern consumers: fashion that relies mostly on quality for reasonable, more sustainable consumption, beyond male/female cliches.

City life and nature - you no longer have to choose one or the other! Nature is entering our cities through projects such as urban forests, plant-covered buildings, and landscape parks and gardens. In fashion, the outdoor urban segment has a bright future. The influence of sportswear and active sport can be seen in hybrid shapes, finishes and accessories directly borrowed from technical apparel.
Its characteristics are carefully designed for being active, going out in the city, and even bike rides. These new, increasingly versatile uses are become common for telework or important in-person events and can even work for outdoor excursions.

The nobility of natural materials is enhanced by raw, pure forms, which showcase its imperfections. As part of the Raw Design movement, clothing is viewed as a unique item shaped by the hands of a potter or a sculptor. Materials that come from nature are artistically coloured and reinterpreted. Their luxury is coupled with making the most of artisanal, ancient, or extremely modern methods. These materials have inspired a fashion reflecting a minimalism that is rich to the touch and placing colour, thread and fabric front and centre. Where one can wrap oneself in a coat or jacket with feigned insouciance.
LINEN DIRECTIONS SPRING - SUMMER 23 - ON AIR
For Spring/Summer 2023, flax is taking off with greater lightness and technicality.
Buoyed by a light breeze and mild climates, flax, naturally breathable, is coming alive and catching every refreshing gust.
Lightness is the theme of the season. A lightness that is breathable, transparent, aerial and airy, dense and undulating like flags in the wind, agitated, rippled like water caressed by air streams, mobile, and fluid like drying linen. Light like the spirit of the times.
Refine and soften almost into nothingness, giving flax dresses and shirts the chance to soar.
More weightlessness, more grace and technique, yet less material.
