tektstCotton Incorporated and Cotton Council International continued their tradition of bringing tomorrows fashion trends to the Turkish textile and garment industry at Wyndham Istanbul Petek Hotel on the 1st of October 2013.

More than 100 executives from Turkish textile, garment and design sectors saw the garments, color and silhoutte trends of 2015 Spring/Summer.Laboratory Color: Soft, comforting and slightly industrial, this palette has widespread appeal while maintaining a modern vibe. Clinical, optical white is the perfect backdrop for dependable lilac, innocent pink and baby blue. Straightforward, powdery pastels get a make-over when paired with transparent white, off whites and beige. The overall effect is contemporary, keeping this color story edgy but welcoming. Trend: A transparent, evocative approach to art and design that displays a certain straightforward ideal, but also engages the viewer through a palpable tenderness and vulnerability. Gaining the confidence of the consumer and adding an authenticity to products, design and architecture through understated but emotional packaging, motifs and visual esthetic. Laboratory is a focused trend that maintains integrity and confidence; much needed when weeding through the layers of superficial ingenuity. Empathy Color: Pulsating from top to bottom, Empathy is rife with intense colors that do not pause, but instead maintain a powerful and expressive presence. A statement palette of amplified marigold, fire engine r red, ultra green and a plethora of inyour- face grapes, we pause to absorb its presence. Challenging and emotionally charged, this graphic palette of colors defies all and jolts the viewer with a rush of adrenaline. Trend: A demonstrative story that illustrates the power of unadulterated love, emotion, and, most important,empathy. Desensitized from conventional feeling as a by-product of our digital age, we yearn for design, product, experience and a rchitecture t hat s eize u s. R ooted i n the ideology of expressing and receiving pure emotion, we create communal shared ties with our communities, our work, and, most important, with ourselves. Discipline: Color: A steady palette of colors for the discerning e ye. S lightly m uted a nd d usty, these shades effortless enhance more vibrant hues and can be artistically applied to sophisticated print and pattern motifs. Black and burgundy anchor this palette, while grayed lilac and dewy green give it a touch of femininity. The real bones of the story are soft almond and gunmetal gray, reliable but distinguished; graceful colors that simply work for a ll m arkets. Trend: W hat m ight b e considered a counter-intuitive philosophy in the creative world, we find the idea of d iscipline taking on new facets of interest. While the unhinged, creative mind and spontaneous bursts of ingenuity certainly have their place in the process, we re-examine the idea of self-control and what it means. Living on the fringe as an artist or designer may or may not enhance the experience or the product; perhaps we are getting more results by setting up stricter parameters. Elastic: Color: A group of colors that have chameleon- like qualities adapts to our ever changing urban environments. The aquatic blues hum with vitality, as asphalt black makes the perfect outline to their pristine presence. Floral shades pretty up the palette in wild flower motifs, and optical white lends us the blank canvas in which to showcase this lush palette of energetic but unfussy shades. Trend: Morphing to adapt to the perpetual change of retail and design environments, Elastic speaks to the need of engaging the consumer. T he n otion o f “ perpetual m otion” goes hand-in-hand with functionalityas architects and designers make the most of our ever populated cities and towns. The idea of re-purposing space or design on a whim appeals to the consumer’s desire to have a virtually catered experience. It also gives brands and designers credibility by listening to their base. Present Perfect: Color: A curious collection of classic tones that elegantly incorporate avant-garde s hades w ith distinct p ersonality. Traditional sea blue, olive green, and black lay the groundwork for an artistic and modern punch of tropical green and soft lilac. The palette gets a pretty spin with a darkened violet, and buttery yellow adds a novel touch as it simultaneously clashes but adds a quirky sense of etherealism to the story. Trend: When time is considered the ultimate in luxury, why can’t we live in the p resent? W hat i s r eal t ime a nd w hat is i magined t ime? A s w e a re h appiest i n the moment, why do we constantly dwell on the past and the unpredictable future? We redefine time in “Present Perfect” as we start to put value on art, music fashion and literature that is here and now; whether it be a moment or a few weeks, we learn to appreciate items or experiences that have an expiration date. Spring/Summer 2015 Fabric Bullets Laboratory: 1.Elegant knitwear channels new tweed looks for women 2.Colorful, static and speckled prints in microscopic scale on cotton shirting 3.Clear laminate coating on a cotton fleece gives a clinical feel to loungewear. Empathy: 1.Cascading heathered yarns on cotton knitwear 2.Crinkle effect and hand painting add a 3-D appearance to a cotton chambray 3.Bleeding ikat print on a fine wale corduroy.

Present Perfect: 1.Marbleized print gives a warped sense of dimension 2.Masculine open construction creates an alternative to cotton lace 3.Transparent stripes combine with tie dye pattern on a cotton knit.
