Ciff fashion themes for spring 2011

Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF) just published a signature preview on spring/summer 2011 season main fashion themes.

Tiny Pleasures spring/summer 2011 theme addresses the emo humans

Key words: sensitive, romantic, poetic, timeless, spiritual

"Modestly and patience, seeking to construct a tender refuge to escape from vagaries of the world, the brutality of events, the tumults and rumors of the outside world. At the crossroads of Asian refinement and Nordic humanist spirit, a fresh, respectful kind of design to the embellishment of daily lives..."

Exotic Junk – addresses the neo dissidents

Key words: wild, anti establishment, neo pirates, disobedient, dazzling

"Who has never dreamt of a land of one’s own, a paradise between earth and sea, voluntarily shipwrecked, to create one’s own civilization, far from the restraints of urban world? Our imaginations are drawn to Easter Island, to the legendary shores of Hawaii, and then to inventing a new kind of esthetic."

Elitist Elegance - addressed to the precious uber

Key words: charismatic, off beat, seducer, precious, aesthetic

“Languidly crossing time and space... Abandoning oneself to the elitist elegance of times gone by, another civilization, by rediscovering ancient know-how, seeking rare pieces and unique objects from elsewhere: India, Jordan, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey...”

Color therapy spring/summer 2011 fashion theme addresses the cool citizens

Key words: frugality, simplicity, joy, sharing, durability

“Out goes the grisaille! Clearance of all depression! Stress and worries all disappear in a good spring clean, “ripolined” into rainbow colors, reviewed and “stabiloed” into resembling a sixties’ musical! And with this wave of good humor also appears the idea of getting back to pretty basics.”
