Fashion Trends and Color Inspirations for the New SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Fall and Winter 2014/15 Innovations! Featuring Glamour DEMURE DECADENCE


SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Trend Inspiration Demure Decadence

CPP -Luxury.com The Wealth Report – 2011: “The report has shown a boost in demand for luxury in key locations, with opinions showing that Mumbai has increased in importance by 118 percent, Shanghai by 91 percent, and Sao Paolo by 66 percent.” The current market shift reveals the increasing need to appeal to differing tastes and design ethics from different regions. As Europe is turning back to discretion and minimalism, emerging (and already emerged) economies such as India, Russia, and the UAE are celebrating their newfound status with the accoutrements of their history, culminating in a magnificent blend of ornate Asian opulence and modern European minimalism – a merging of cultures and an acceptance of both.

Glamour Demure Decadence Swarovski Fashion Trends

It is not a cultural clash but rather an intercultural marriage – made possible by the increasing acceptance and tolerance of different cultural backgrounds and the western world’s continued reliance on emerging economies. “Even in the West, ‘Austerity Fatigue’ has set in, and with it the demand for more pleasure per pound, dollar, or euro.” The overall look is at once decadent and demure – feminine and serene. A profusion of ornaments, Jacquard, prints, historical and decorative motifs, from both east and west merge to inspire a new breed of glamorous jet setters.

There is a leaning toward innovation, luxury and opulence as individuals wish to reassert themselves.

Fashion Trends and Color Inspirations for the New SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Fall and Winter 2014/15 Innovations! Featuring Romantic Urban Nomad

SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Trend Inspiration Urban Nomad

The continuing emergence of nomad-inspired fashion showcases a new drive for freedom, and a stand against the constraints of the ongoing recession. Wanderlust continues to engulf the design world as we become more mobile in our daily lives due to the increased use and functionality of social media. We no longer have to work in an office, or one place, and our clothes and accessories reflect this. This mixing of styles, seasons, and eras to create a new bohemian look with a practical element is inspiring a new generation. Combining materials, such as tweed with luxurious fibers, creates a truly individualistic style.

Romanitc Urban Nomad Swarovski Fashion Trends

The exclusive and the eccentric will become ever more important and will be carried by the growing influence of the bespoke. Recycling and regeneration are predicted to be the future fabrics and will become an increasing focus. “We are consuming 50 percent more than what the planet can currently sustain. This is very unfortunate and could increase to 100 percent very soon…” Sri Lankan physicist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Professor Mohan Munasinghe: “With such large numbers and as populations grow, the pressure to source more raw materials for textiles is intensifying.”

The overriding aim of this theme is to create a totally individualistic style statement based on the wearer’s personality and taste.

SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS NATURE LAB

The design world has its focus firmly on the future with the rapid ascension of 3D printing. “Indeed, the future will see us able to buy an item online and print it out at home. With digital files so easily manipulated, it will also enable companies to more quickly adapt their products as to what works, or let the user themselves experiment with the design to enable true personalization.” (Peter Weijmarshausen, CEO and cofounder of 3D printing marketplace and community Shapeways.) With the escalation of 3D printing capabilities, the architectural and sculptural will offer a different sense of luxury. In parallel with this, the designs of the future remain firmly committed to green issues. These concerns, coupled with the advance in technology, have created an entirely new design ethic, with structures mimicking nature enjoying a new-found success as wearable pieces of art. In what has been termed “Next Nature,” technology and nature will now coexist, with nature providing endless inspiration for technology. The meeting of these polar opposites – nature and science – is transforming not only urban spaces but also our wardrobes.
