Trends in Heimtextil'07
by Jana Cambra (Eysa designer)

In this new edition of Heimtextil Fair, we have seen several novelties within the trends, but more and more it takes more importance to look for global collections with own styles. One of the trends that occupies a preferred place and that constantly is modernized is the classic style by using velvet weaves, both jacquard with shining motifs, or by printing, but always without losing its elegance as line.

Taking about fabrics, flannel returns to be a referent, to become rough textures that contrast with the refinement of the silk or taffeta, and giving an appearance of comfort and quality. Fabrics with many reliefs have been also seen, as could be flock prints, chenille or rustic fabrics.

In general, motifs are inspired by the masculine fashion, such as hounds tooth check, ear, tweed or geometric motifs from the seventies, remembering paper wall of that decade … it can be considered part of the trends of this year.

Prints from ethnic inspiration, with botanical or floral motifs, keep being on fashion, but with new colour combinations.

With reference to the colours for this season, dark shades predominate, like black, grey, green moss, blue sea and plum colours. To these colours are added details of brightness and metallic effects, like gold, old silver or copper, in order to increase the contrast, luminosity and vividness of the fabric.

Also, wine colour is a reference this season as well as green, colour that has remained in the shade the last years and that now reappears in a wide range.

Chocolate & turquoise colour combination continues being as a fashionable one, as well as beige & chocolate, which is becoming a classic combination year after year…

Finally, talking about the fresh colours, such as lime, fuchsia and turquoise, they have been combined between them in order to give a fresh and youthful air to this season. These colours are well combined either between them or with black background, giving rise to fabrics with lot of strength.
