It’s all about being clever.
More and more people are working or studying from home. We consume less, and in the world of fashion, this means recycling and re-utilizing buttons, ribbons, hooks and cords, macrame and patchwork, a return to crafting, learning to knit and crochet, and we put an emphasis on accessories.
The trend forecasters at SpinExpo believe white to be the star colour of the season. The numbers of whites -colours or shades of whites- highlights the vibrancy of all other colours. White leads us to exaggerate the ranges or colours, to exaggerate anything natural, such as fibres and colours. White also exaggerates sophistication, artifice, and the organic and technical aspects of all products as well as the blends of unusual materials.
Spring/Summer 2011 targets balance between the obvious and innovation. It implies working on new material contrasts, addressed to consumers buying in different ways. The season exemplifies the truly innovative and beautiful, in a simple way, not obligatory “expensive.”



White Light: A mix of fragility and rigidity, perfection and imperfection, lightness and heaviness, this story has been inspired by clays and ceramics in association with gold and copper gold.
For flat bed knits contrasting thick and transparent aspects for a balanced pale program; technical and imperfect yarns, matt and textured; opaque or translucent surfaces; layers, origami, flecks and plaits; scratched or spongy structures; burnt out effects and placed intarsia.
For circular knits and wovens yarns are plain, fluid and silky. Fluidity accompanied by undulating edge patterns; frosty and tiny grainy aspects; hosiery needlepoint, transfer patterns; rippling, perforated and small geometrical patterns are key.
Wovens appear with spongy type surface effects; small surface effects like ropes or tiny grills and waffle weaves. Cashmere, silk, and blends, extra-fine merino and organic cottons all play an important role.



Neon White: A colour story of vibrant hues for high tech materials where super-flat and glossy patches of colours are used to achieve a total look. Patterns and stripes are mathematical, symmetrical, linear or based on simple geometry and polka dots.
Basic shapes are heightened with complex structured fabrics. Monochrome coloured yarns blend matt and shiny fibres for plays on texture. High tech fabrics and processes, plastic and paper aspects also make an appearance.
Yarns are single colour, bright, all in one tone or are worked into colour groupings, or two-tones, or mixed with white. Colour gradations are balanced.
3 D patterns appear very fine and linear, or with polished relief aspects and visible structures; incised weaves, micro-plain patterning. Yarns are fine and round. Stretch is added for surface effects.
Gloss and lacquers, iridescent silks; dry linen blends; nylon mono filaments; polyurethane, carbon fibres, aluminium, steel and plastic as well as oily, latex, silicon and rubber finishing are also key to the story.



Ethnic White: This colour story draws inspiration from vegetable dyeing, environment consciousness and modern vintage in a clever combination of colours, patterns and plain surfaces and new material contrasts.
Thread, string and wire aspects are worked into interlaced structures. . . Bonding, bows, irregular pleats, or combinations of different fibres create irregularity. Natural fibres blend with ramie or raw tussah silk. Organic fibres reveal shiny finishings.
Macrame aspects, held stitches, repetitions of mathematical, kaleidoscopic or mixed decorative patterns. Openwork stitching and detailing.
Blurry edges appear on very fine woven, hand-made aspects. Jacquards reveal flowery and ribbon patterns. Leather aspects, mixes of leather or fabric are worked with knitwear.
Simple and round yarns, are thread-like and functional. Wool & Linen; Cotton & Cashmere blends; Cool rounded cottons. Combinations of different fibres create worn-out aspects.



Porcelain White: A story inspired by the world of flowers with colours turning away from pure graphic and where white is predominant. Blues and reds pop up the story, associated with worn-down neutral colours to create patterns inspired by wall papers, cups and plates, Swedish furniture and upholstery fabrics.
Fine yarns are ultra glossy or ultra matt. Very fine, degrade, tie & dye aspects; drawn or light textures; subtlety aged effects and loose intarsia.
Woven shirting are renewed by tiny surface effects Highly polished or glossy surfaces. Tiny patchworks, a mix of plains and patterns. Flat, fluid type fabrics
Fine stripes appear in circular knits. Transparency and degrade fine pleats
Multi-layered glazed fabrics. Wrinkly, flowered patterns. Fine cottons and blends, crispy viscose and linen.

Memories of beauty, refinement in soft colourations and sophisticated material mixes
TENDRESSE: An atmosphere heavily loaded with, memories but reinvented by using, technical innovations. To maintain the, feeling of softness and a nostalgia of charm, there are sophisticated constructions, digital, prints, placed jacquards, audacious accents, and subtle featherweight effects, silks, fine cottons, blends. Then there are the refined, luxury lines of coordinates made to last: it’s the triumphant return of the camisole, bodies, teddies… all expressions of an eternal seduction.


Happiness lies in the surprise of unexpected encounters and in love for what the others do…
ANTIDOTE: Happiness lies in non conformism. Not a question of being good or reasonable but the passion colours evoke, explosions of prints, geometrical accents, Indian flowers, folk music kitsch, cartoon influences and naive primitives create a wild patchwork. A liberated celebration of all that everyday life is about. Amusing creativity, beachwear influences, mixes of ethnic and otherworld, ardour and femininity, the whole based on strong lines. And the urge to thumb your nose at depressing themes!


Exotic and exuberant contrast with a desert landscape of sun and shadow and rustic beauty aged by the years…
OASIS: Pleasure gorged on sun and freshness. On the one hand, the exotic � exuberant nature inspired by Gauguin, luxuriant foliage and cat-like beachwear motifs. On the other hand, the desert � a landscape of sand, primitive embroideries, Berber stripes, beautiful laces patinated by the years, ikats and metal accents.
For ample shapes such as caftans or djellabahs, dry knits, charming linens and cottons for the Loungerie trend.


The essence of a new luxury, ostentatious and astonishing with a hint of theatrical and urban roughness…
SUBLIME:Haute couture plus high-tech. The scene is ostentatious, emphatically astonishing, unique. In the corridors of this new theatricality … surface effects, contrasts of opaque and transparency, flocking, placed burnt-outs, transfer prints, graphics and bondage accents. Spectacular decorative touches, large coloured stones, vintage embroideries. This is the essence of the new luxury, exceptional beauty ready to conquer the land of modernity.
