Menswear Street & Retail Resort Trends 2010  SPECIAL  Menswear STREET & RETAIL resort trends  2010 published 16 August 2010 - 32 pages 13337-13368
The menswear was so good in St Tropez that we had to share it in this special report. We've combined street and retail photos to get an overview of the most directional summer trends and the hottest accessories.
As you'd expect, casualwear is the biggest area of the market with baggy cargo shorts, roughed-up jeans, preppy layers and check-pattern shirts dominating the field. Bold sports/surf styles bring in the colour, while exciting t-shirt graphics add pattern, humour and lots of style to plain t-shirts. Super-fine knitwear, burnout jersey and sheer ribs are key fabrics.
Smart shirts and tailored jackets are styled-down with jeans and casual trousers. Details are subtle; shirts feature seams to add shape or western-style yoke and pocket details.

Catwalk Resort 2011 Trends  CATWALK  Resort 2011 trends  published 05 August 2010 - 55 pages 13270-13324
This analysis provides the perfect insight into S/S 2011 trends. Catwalk designers use the resort season to launch new concepts or to experiment with subtle variations before the main-season collections. We’ve edited the most directional of these into clear, well-defined themes covering all areas of womenswear. 

DESTINATION - smartly polished separates
GARDENER - florals step out of their comfort zone
LOUNGE - from draped Halston glamour to funky sportswear
LIGHTNESS - delicate warm colours and light fabrics
THE EDGE - a punky layered silhouette
EXPLOSIVE - a volatile mix of image and colour
ETHNICITY -  rich tribal patterns and ethnic shapes

Catwalk Resort Trends 2011 Swimwear  CATWALK  Resort 2011 Swimwear trends  published 31 July 2010 -10 pages 13260-13269
The minimal trend takes swimwear into an exciting new direction; swimsuits are cut asymmetrically and filled with sensual, organic drape. Lanvin explores the concept within the confines of a one-piece, adding gathers and twists, which could just as easily work in tankini or bikini shapes. The one-piece has the advantage of seamless transition from beach to bar with the addition of a skirt or pair of trousers. Soft separates team with bikinis: soft jackets, shorts, playsuits and loose shirts, while further cover is provided by sweeping kaftans, little kiminis, wrap dresses or oversize t-shirts. Powdery neutrals are enlivened with pops of chartreuse, while strong berry juices: blackcurrant, blueberry, cranberry and cloudberry are hot favourites.

Riviera stores capture the imagination and reveal the latest trends in beachwear. This report provides a platform for S/S 2011 designs by outlining the influential shapes and details for swimwear, related cover-ups and accessories. Don’t miss!

Fashion's current passion for minimalism is illustrated in the latest swimwear shapes. Styles are sleek with plunging, sharp v-shaped necklines and are stripped of decoration; relying instead on shape and fabric quality. Skin-revealing cutouts are key and introduce swimsuits in asymmetric shapes or with one-piece fronts and bikini backs. The lining is important, sometimes to provide a reversible feature and other times to flash a contrast colour...

Retail trend analysis spring summer 2010 Milan & Barcelona  RETAIL  S/S 2010 trend analysis Milan & Barcelona published 12 February 2010 - 36 pages 12674-12709
Exciting new trends emerge from Milan and Barcelona where the latest spring/summer collections have just hit the stores. We’ve outlined the key themes and noted the subtle changes that will propel fashion forward. Fabric and fabric manipulation are important features throughout all the trends and designers have used pleating, folding and drape to great effect. Prints are alive with colour and are influenced by animal and tribal patterns. Florals are reworked and updated and it becomes apparent that styles can have just as much impact loaded with decoration as styles that are totally devoid of it. Proportion, length and styling have a fresh, new approach and colour works effectively adding vibrancy and vitality or alternatively fades to neutral when emphasising contemporary tailoring.

BAUHAUS - stark contemporary separates, block colours and razor-sharp tailoring...
TWO TRIBES - naive prints, animal camouflage, special effects and mixed colourways...
3-DIMENSION - sculpted silhouettes, tactile fabrics, inflated gathers and origami folds...
SCRAPBOOK - jean shapes, graphic t-shirts, multi-layering and mix-texture fabrics...
FUNNY GIRL - ultra-feminine styles, quirky party dresses and intricate decoration...

Special Bridal & Evening Catwalk Spring Summer 2010 New York, London, Milan & Paris Runway Trends  SPECIAL  Bridal & Evening trends  published 21 October 2009 - 16 pages 12364-12379
The spring/summer trends for filmy lightness, transparency, lace, veiling and draping lead us neatly into bridalwear. Floor-skimming dresses are cut into a curvy ‘40s film star silhouette or a gentler goddess-like empire line. Lingerie frills appear along the bustline or tumble dramatically through the skirt area. Tiers of plissé pleating are pulled into wavy hemlines, adding light volume and lots of movement. These lightweight fabrics meld perfectly into wavy organza capes or sheer netting cut into a fan-shaped bodice and full skirt. Mesh is scrunched into an off-shoulder sash, while semi-transparent fabrics are inflated into gentle puffed skirts.
Beaded decoration accentuates the rich and exotic ethnic-inspired styles that include sari-like draping. 
On the tailored side dresses are trimmed with Cornely cording to form a subtle border, others have an integrated corsage or cutout floral design at the shoulder. Shapes are knee to midi-length and the best silhouettes are either fitted or belted.
