With the 2024 spring/summer buying season approaching, Peclers Paris wanted to provide insight into the trends they believe will dictate the next few months for those looking for last-minute inspiration. The firm that forecasts trends and two of its staff appeared on stage at the latest Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF) edition to discuss its predicted fashion trends.
The colors of the season
At the beginning of the presentation, it was revealed that the team had chosen the top three colors that would be the season’s defining tints, and each one was different shades compared to the other. “Edgy Khaki,” for instance, was inspired by urban design, bringing practicality to the collection, contrasting with ‘Cherry Pop’ which was described by Peclers as a “fleshy red,” mirroring an old-fashioned vision that is futuristic. The ‘Tech Sensitive’ collection was associated with nude tones, with a “tech effect,” and provided an alternate color for the season.
The modernization of the classics
The central theme of Peclers is drawing inspiration from traditional designs and products from the past but in a contemporary and contemporary style. It could take the form of classics that are enlarged and playful exaggerated proportions or 3D experiments that are inspired by the rise in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The main items emphasized by the team comprised reworked denim jackets, corsetry, and flared pants, and organic gabardine was the most popular material. For prints, the trend towards technology was also evident, as was the focus of ‘Retro Glitch.’ The primary colors of pixelated images and tech-like vintage effects were the best way to describe the style.
The desire for adventure
A complete contrast to the first theme, Peclers’ second theme was devoted to the modern traveler, prompted by the growing concern for ocean life and the increasing desire to travel. The nautical and outdoor-inspired codes are mixed with the Y2K style, resulting in a modern look at practical elements and technical materials. The most talked about items in this category included combat pants, light dresses, parkas, and more, all with deconstructed designs. Regarding material, ‘Dirty is a standout, as was “distorted fauna,” and macroscopic camo were the definitive prints.
