Trend Flash™ – Showcase Ireland

January 25, 2018 By Trend Staff -

Members of The Trend Curve’s subscriber family have exclusive access to Trend Flash emails, which provide instant updates from major markets and trade fairs around the globe. Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director, attended this year’s Showcase Ireland, featuring artisan products made by Irish crafters. Here are her top trends from the show. Look for more details in the next issue of The Trend Curve.

COLOR

  • While Celtic greens dominated assortments…
  • …trend-right greens stole share with mid-tone complexity
  • The newest blues showed off denim influences
  • Others felt moody, like a stormy sea
  • Teals were bestsellers in several stands
  • Purples worked their way into patterns and palettes

TEXTURE AND MATERIALS

  • Exaggerated textures played well, especially in ceramic
  • Luster continued in subtle-and-sophisticated ways
  • Wool was the fiber star, yet…
  • …silk pieces were stunners

THEMES AND MOTIFS

  • The strength of women inspired multiple collections
  • References to Art Deco style popped up here and there
  • Botanical flowers emerged
  • Dogs had more to say
  • So did fish, especially carp
