Le Cuir À Paris announces trend themes for A/W 12/13

09/06/2011
The organisers of the Le Cuir À Paris event have issued fashion trends predictions for the autumn-winter 2012-13 season. The idea is that tanners taking part in or visiting the event, which next takes place from September 20–22, will have all the inspiration they need to prepare the types of leather their fashion customers will want to order for that season.

As a main headline for the season, the organisers and their fashion trends consultants, have decided on Footloose and Fancy Free. Within this, the first of four themes is called Get Carried Away. “The desire to please, to seduce and to provoke becomes a game of fashion, a theatrical role-play in which burlesque fun and ambiguous femininity invoke a procession of fictional heroines who adopt an erotic-provocative style,” the trends experts have said.

For the second theme, Bewitching, “humans, flora and fauna inhabit a strange nature”, while for the third, Bedazzlement, “a pop apocalypse of lights and images guides us towards a world in perpetual motion”. Finally, for the last theme, Reversal, the notion is that we should try to do more with less as mutual support and resourcefulness become more important in people’s lives.
