Bold Runway Trends

By Patrick Cabasset & Hervé Dewintre

The richness of the end-of-year fashion shows held at ESMOD Paris, Lyon, Roubaix and Rennes really does allow for trends to be redefined, and given the creativity of the virtuoso silhouettes created by these freshly minted professionals, PlanetESMOD couldn’t resist attempting to try to convey some of the emotional force of these works, which span all of the specializations offered at ESMOD.

The communicative emotion that these fashion feats have triggered can be divided into two major families of distinct trends, one unexpected, cerebral, nostalgic, reflective and sometimes austere, offering an objective response to a time that is by no means always bright, the other counteracting this gloom with a joie de vivre that is both generous and contagious in equal measure.
