BASF unveils trend ideas for autumn-winter 2015-16
19/05/2014
The season’s collection encompasses what the company has called a rich range of colours and textures, “leaving more minimalistic winters behind”. Leather textures with waves and fading effects express emotions that “melt away into a restrained but easy-going look”.
There are three main trends: Opulence, Adventure and Fundamental.
Opulence presents Baroque colours and textures, “inspired by the rich and sumptuous prints of the maharajas, in a lavish treasure-seeking voyage with palatial touches”, BASF said on announcing the trends. “It’s all accompanied by oriental decoration but taken to a more casual level through brocades and purple, pink and fuchsia prints. Riveted leather and gold metal touches accompany the black that is ubiquitous during this season,” it added.
A different trend is presented in Adventure; textures that merge, bluish tones and elements of nature, evoking forests with infinite palettes of green: khakis, blue-greens, lime greens and petrol green that are given nuances to create the effect of depth. There are interplays and nuances of colour, dark tones with lighter embossed effects. Mother Nature is seen at her most refined with hues of rusted shine, mineral textures and curved, uneven shapes.
To complete the collection of new trends for this season, Fundamental takes us into a “bourgeois, refined ambiance“. Soft graphics, caramel tones, browned leather and orange hues are part of this, as are shiny patent textures and “a kind of blurred, linear geometry”.
To achieve the desired results in this season’s inspiration, BASF has said it recommends its new range of Basyntan and Relugan products for ecology and performance in retanning, along with its new generation of Densodrin water-repellent agents, to reach the standards required. To complete the process, it recommends that tanners apply BASF’s new Astacin range.
