TENDERNESS
A sensitive and aesthetically pleasing theme that
presents a soft and comfortable image with a luxurious
and sophisticated mood. Moderns shapes and materials
in which the new volume but lightweight and unconstructed
shapes play an important role. Various contrasting materials
are combined as a result of which new structures are created.
Subtle layers have a soft and fluffy feel on one side and a
hard and smooth feel on the other. A must have storey with
reworked luxurious casuals classics that have a timeless beauty.
Colours are sensual and soft, with grey and off-white as the dominant colours. Various, subtle shades of pink, light blue,
lilac. In addition, accents in heavier colours such as deep oxblood, chocolate brown and charcoal black. The new
luxurious synthetic materials are the centrepieces as an addition to the more common luxury qualities. Coatings on the
outside with a voluminous and soft inside or just spongy and transparent. Furthermore, soft and compact stretch wool,
cashmere, hairy mohair, or alpaca are the new direction for luxurious sporty basics.
Shapes are partly practical and loose fitted, unconstructed and oversized. Sometimes shaped and therefore following
the body. Craftsmanship in pattern and technical processing is required. A renewed look at sporty basics such as the
bomber and the baseball jackets, and the overlap coat.

12. HIGHLANDS
The inspiration for this theme was found in the pure and infinite
beauty of the desolate Highlands. Rough structures, soft shapes,
barren or covered in fresh variations of earth and vegetation
colours. A survival theme in which protection and functionality
are important. Furthermore we see an imaginary focus on
technical design and modern styling. Camouflage effects in
technically manufactured materials of which the appearance
changes because of the sunlight. Multiple wear options in
functional design shapes. A theme with clear shapes and differences in materials on both the inside and the outside.
Colours are rustic and natural that reminds us of the panoramic sceneries and nature. Moss greens, heather browns, deep
purple, various shades of grey, but always harmonious.
Materials are brushed, felted, always soft. Multi-coloured tweeds, delicate boucles, ribbed knits, hairy mohair, washed out
vintage denims, cotton twills, bulky and organic. Protective sheep and reindeer hides.
Shapes with often a double function, technical, detachable and removable components. But also organic, wraparound or
rolled up. Garments with a clear vintage look, unfinished seams, washed out, bleached or in unexpected colour and
material combinations. Different fabrics in one item, or as patchwork solutions.

ARTISTIC
A theme in which the key person is the innovative artist who
is looking for new inspiration and who is making use of
craftsmanship from the past. Applying and experimenting with
new challenges in colour, shape and material. This is the modern
“couture” in which originality and craftsmanship are the focus of
attention and in a clever way of pattern making. An exciting
theme also with humour and courage for both the creator and
the final user. The silhouette is the most important in this.
The colour makes the first impression. Strong and vibrant bright colours are used as single or incontrast with each other.
Deep blood red, violet black, orange and various blue tones. Off-white and black are the neutral binding colours.
Materials are often not what they seems to be. Unexpected material blends are the innovative developments within this
theme. Often with added embroidery work or applications but always surprising. Glossy wool satin, embroidered leather,
fluid viscose. Mix thin and thick.
A silhouette with unexpected style ideas. Far away from what is related to tradition. Mostly oversized cut into square
shapes. Full wide skirts and simple trouser shapes.

SCIENTIFIC
.A longing for the unattainable, the acquisition of knowledge
about the origin of our world and the wish to discover what is
out there. The universe as a dark and mystical inspiration for
the manufacturing of today’s essential basics. Futuristic
thinking with forward looking expectations about a different life.
Protected in the composition of materials used, but also with
an elegant, stylistic body-oriented design. A theme that has
technical and colourless materials in which contrasts, thick
and thin, glossy or dull, stretch or flowing play a key role.
Variations of black colours, glossy or dull, mixed, brightened by metallic shades. Light reflections create the unexpected
element in this theme. Warm metallic colours like taupes and greys, bronze and old silver provide a rough or glossy
structure. Materials are hard and soft often with stretch or rather flexible and flowing. Refined structures in technically
advanced materials, stitched, printed or coated. Wool jerseys, shiny lacquers, cotton wool mixtures and transparent
nylons.
Shapes are body conscious . All components are focussed on three-dimensional design. Keen technical detailing and
unexpected laser cut solutions for seams. Playing with panels, colour blocking and various materials, thin, thick, or
transparent.
