A REDESIGNED TRENDS AREA

A combination of future, phygital merchandising and a contemporary art museum, an alternative and singular expression of the autumn winter 2018-19 denim fashion themes.
4 immersive universes present the fashion trends through a pared-down and assured selection of new products and specific developments from the Denim Première Vision exhibitors:

BOLD

Boldness in terms of both materials and shapes. Arrogant lines, impertinent and resolutely light volumes.

RECODE

Deviant geometry, cloudy dark and colourful profile. Turn a jacket inside out and closely consider cuffs and lapels.

BEYOND

Focus on what overextends and overflows. Form shapes softly.

RAINFALL

Asphalt runners in the rain. Sparking contrast, crunchiness, and glazed surfaces.
