In addition to the seasonal information and inspirations specically developed for each activity sector featured at the Première Vision Paris shows, the Première Vision fashion team also provides general inspirations, directions and choices – shared fashion information cutting across all the Spring/Summer 2017 shows.

The Spring/Summer 2017 season blossoms with joyous dissonance. It loves the fruitful disharmonies arising from inventiveness and alliances of ambiguous genres. It has fun with the rudimentary, re ning it with discreet technology and magni cent poetry. It electri es romantic delicacy with contradictory stridency, random bumpiness, and dynamic tension. It plays with limits, placing the beauty of diversity above all – dazzling, transparent and imposing. It invests in experimentation, giving matter and volume to a new, uid and friendly reality. It looks positively on shaky balances, nimbly attracting creation and impertinence.

First Review of Spring Summer 17 Fashion Orientations

The spring-summer 17 season resonated with joyful and effervescent dissonance. It showcased fruitful disharmonies, and gender alliances with a delicious ambiguity. The season’s fashion orientations enthusiastically and creatively highlighted complementarities between the various activity sectors and know-hows at Premiere Vision Paris, between yarns, fabrics, leathers and skins, and textile designs and components for clothing, leather-goods, footwear and jewellery.

New fashion directions were on re, joyously destabilizing the obvious. They were generous, displaying porosities and transfers of know-how, especially in fantasy and decoration. They were a clear incitement to re ne anything rudimentary with developments that were rich in poetry and technology. They took an offbeat approach to romanticism, posing a tart softness on naive orals and patterns, offsetting it with a rebellious, surreptitiously perturbing spirit. They swung the experimental towards reality in radiant realisations, transparencies with substance, rich uidity, elegantly bumpy textures, chic plastics, sensual elastics, and frank graphics.

Colors celebrate either subtlety or grandiloquence. They evoke a decisive emphasis on pale and warm tones, and don’t combine neutrals other than to reveal a tasty, oral or arti cial radiance.

Fashion information encourages designers to grab on to exhibitors’ creations with a passion, to overturn uses, play around with underlayers/overlayers, and a body nicely augmented with technology. To have fun connecting sports and evening looks, combining ethnic in uences and performance, rawness with softness and suppleness, owers and menswear, messy stripes and color blends.

As the season’s standard-bearer, wonkiness asserts its positive values, gently striking at points of view, and shifting the centres of observation and creation. It unfolds in mischievous and cheery discoveries, for a deliberately non-conformist season.

A Refined, Irreverent and Experimental Spring/Summer 2017

The show of clothing fabrics presents a season introduced in 3 themes – rudimentary re nement, gently irreverent, and experimental romanticism. Seeking new balances, Spring/Summer 2017 plays on positive, creative instabilities, and moves lightly and light-heartedly away from well-established codes and standardisation. Fabrics and colors are ever more particular and multi-sensory, emerging as caring partners ready to convey differentiation, and communicate emotion. The season feeds on surprising combinations and suggests irreverent, mildly disconcerting unions, to create slightly wonky lines or nicely unmatched silhouettes. A strongly singular, and inherently appealing, season.

Rudimentary Refinement

Getting to the essence of fabrics and shape and cultivating fashion with a powerful, vibrant and colourful beauty. Singling out the imperfection that makes all the difference that upends the too perfect and lends excitement to the simplicity of volumes. Combining a raw look and a deep-down sophistication. Intensifying the sensual side of fabrics, the natural or synthetic raw handles and bold visuals. Composing alliances by mixing thickness and delicacy, decisive encounters between rusticity and arti ciality.

Gently Irreverent

Composing a chic wardrobe with a healthy dose of impertinence, gleefully overturning the classics. Forming alliances between genres, mischievously blurring masculine/feminine notions. Inviting a new instability into cuts, dramatically altering shapes, making lines slip and slide, introducing asymmetry. Transposing decoration onto a tailored and casual universe, freely reinventing exoticism, and playing with a funny and likeable exuberance, on the very edges of good taste.

Experimental Romanticism

Balancing science and poetry, breathing emotion into technique, sensuality into motion, to create graceful fashions with a sporty DNA. Embellishing and softening performance. Imagining alliances between everyday and sexy, imagining a match of comfort and charm. Capturing bright ideas, being on the outlook for curious and improbable innovations, laying the groundwork for an intelligent and sensitive future.
