New vintage which means classic development.
Fabric is the most surface material of clothing, which not only symbolizes the “hand feel” and the “comfort” of wearing in different seasons we often said, but also achieves the ultimate wearing and fashion goals through the selection, cutting and production of fabrics. Let’s talk about the next fabric trend.
Combine old with new and inheritance with development.
“Fusion of old and new” is one of the most common design concepts in the fashion industry. There are many typical examples, such as Burberry’s reference to the Scottish Highland country style in London Fashion Week 2023, and a large number of modern tailoring and matching on Chinese wedding dresses in Shanghai Fashion Week.The combination of old and new often means a revival of national culture inspiration,which called new vintage.
New and old can be the combination of traditional design and new colors, or the integration of modern design concepts into classic colors. The difference between it and “retro” is that the latter is a return of the old trend, while “combination of old and new” is more inclined to a kind of cultural inheritance and development, whether it is ethnic or brand, such as Chanel’s “tweed” fabric or Hermès’ orange.
In addition, we will also introduce a “higher” and “newer” trend, which is to combine traditional dyeing and finishing techniques, embroidery techniques, natural themes with modern geometric patterns and three-dimensional tailoring. The corresponding clothing application scenes have been added.
A:Pure natural rough texture
Looking for a simple and pure clothing feeling in nature, the texture of the fabric will also be more inclined to the natural and original rough texture. The prada2023 Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer collection reflects the characteristics of different fabrics through a minimalist style. Fabrics such as coarse knitting reflect the exquisite sense of folds, and other colors have the charm of spring and summer when they cross.
Embroidery technology and coarse fabrics can also be said to complement each other, interpreting leisure, casualness and decadence.The collocation between solid colors and solid colors, showing a stronger visual impact between the contrast of different colors or textures of fabrics feel. In this context, cotton and linen fabrics with natural and rustic attributes pay more attention to the ultimate comfort and fashion durability in the production process. So the multi-process combination of color scraping, washing and wrinkle feeling, and the combination of different colors on the front and back, and the combination of needle and weaving will return.
B innovation of retro elements
In soft clothing and fashion design, classic stripes and plaids have been used as geometric figures throughout last year, but this year the brand is more inclined to nostalgic floral prints. For example, in 2023 New York Fashion Week, Ulla Johnson presented a variety of exquisite details and color matching through knitted plush skirts, retro stitching patterns, etc., making the whole series more fashionable.
Due to the preference of consumers and local protection policies, textile materials pay more attention to natural texture, traditional dyeing and finishing and textile technology are paid more attention to, and the following popular trends in the past, retro natural patterns and geometric figures drawn from nature will also be more attention has been paid to it. Behind the retro patterned fabrics is not only a trend, but also a life culture concept.
Stripes are versatile and timeless. According to the combination of different colors, stripe sizes and different fabrics, it can achieve the effect of warm personality or calm and elegant. The classic impression left by well-known fashion brands, in addition to exclusive abstract colors such as Valentino red, Tiffany blue, Hermes orange, etc., also has pattern logic elements such as CHANEL’s retro diamond pattern, which are all retro.
C Embroidery printing
Embroidered fabrics stand alone among the spring 2023 pattern trends because they require a level of craftsmanship that is much more difficult than printed fabrics. The main embroidery we’re seeing this season is gorgeous flowers, which seem perfect for spring.
We love the delicate, natural embroidered print on Dior’s cream dress. The embroidery technique is incredibly precise, and the choice of prickly and prickly flowers (thistles in particular) feels rewarding.
D Sustainability and new fabric development
New fabric development
“Environmental protection” has always been a hot topic in the clothing fashion industry, especially in recent years, it has become a pioneering concept of “fashion correctness” in fashion design. In addition to natural materials such as wool, linen and organic cotton, the advancement of technology and technology will bring us more innovative fabrics made of recycled materials and even bio-based materials.
All in all,whether it’s a new vintage or a retro look, what suits you is the best.
