New York Fashion Week. While many designers are familiar faces in the tents at Bryant Park, there are some who have never before displayed their work in such a high-profile setting. This is especially true of the Academy of Art University show, which showcases the creations of select recent graduates (a distinction that no other fashion school can claim). The excitement in the tent was palpable as the students’ friends and family came to cheer on these newly-minted designers.
Of course, as students, they don’t have the same resources available to them as say, a major label, so the collections were modest in size. Focusing primarily on Womenswear (although there were two Menswear shows), each collection ranged from five to eight outfits. The students’ innovation was impressive: textile designer Jun Ryu experimented with faux fur by literally burning patterns into it for his menswear collection; textile designer Ivanka Georgiev magically transformed paper into luxurious garments for the collection of designer Soo Jung Sung.

The trend agency Peclers Paris is now unveiling the trends for autumn and winter 2008/09 before CIFF 30. Judging by the four trends, urban dynamism, rhythm and energy will strongly influence the way in which we dress. Preparations for the 30th Copenhagen International Fashion Fair in Bella Center are well under way, and the trend agency Peclers Paris has been working for some time on presenting the trends for autumn and winter 2008/09. And now is the time to unveil the four trends - On the Move, Dark Fiction, Soft Tech and Kitch Mix.
"For the past few seasons, the trends have largely revolved around urban life. More and more people live in towns and cities, where style and architecture not only influence our lifestyle but also the way in which we dress," says trend manager Ulla Skjødt from the Federation of Danish Textile & Clothing, and she continues: "The way in which we dress reflects our self-perception - and as things are looking now, more and more people see themselves as urban creatures. The dynamics, rhythm and energy of the town or city have a considerable bearing on the trends for winter 2008/09. Daily life in the city is the basis for a style that mixes the luxurious, the formal and the gloomy with the informal look, bright colours and protective materials of the street culture. When, on 7-10 February 2008, CIFF dazzles with its popular trend show, it will once again be with the Danish designer duo "Femmes Regionales" in charge of styling, stage and concept.
