WOMEN´S FASHION TRENDS FW 27-28: EVERYDAY CHIC – EKLEKTISCHE PRINTS UND VIELFÄLTIGE MATERIALIEN IM FOKUS

Karin Schmitz (Peclers Paris)
Eine Saison im Spannungsfeld zwischen digitaler Beschleunigung und dem Wunsch nach verlässlichen Fixpunkten. Dem unruhigen Zeitgeist setzen wir pure Authentizität, ethischen Luxus und beruhigende Materialien entgegen.
Vertraute Impulse werden neu gemischt: Britischer Heritage-Chic, naturnahe Outdoor-Folklore, funktionales Tailoring.
Als progressiven Gegenpol bringen wir mit leuchtenden Farbakzenten, unterschiedlichen Retro-Einflüssen und expressiven Printideen eine optimistische Lebensfreude in die Saison.
