Trend #8 - Sports-luxe

Sports-luxe

The barrier between casual wear and sportswear is being broken down. Sportswear is becoming something people not only wear at the gym but at home too. The same is the case with casual wear; it is less pyjama-like and more presentable to wear outside of the home. Also, work wear has undertaken an air of sport with sleek lines, stream-lined details and more relaxed fabrics. Jerseys, cottons and knits are replacing more expensive fabrics like satin and linen. This trend could stem from the anticipation of the 2012 London Olympics.

Trend #5 - Psychedelic Wonderland

Psychedelic Wonderland

Technicolor fabrics, elements of dreams and a fantasy land, far from the restrictions of ordinary society. People want to get away from depressing themes like the economy and escape from reality. Abstract prints, combining trends, structurally shaped garments that still perform a function without compromising on the enchantment. This trend covers a wide range of fabrics, some with natural structure, like stiff cottons and some floaty and light-weight like chiffons.
