CUSTOMER PROFILE The Zadig and Voltaire woman has a recognisable look, who aims to always mix an aspect of rock with sports- luxe. She does this effortlessly, with a chic mix of masculine and feminine elements. She’s an active woman with an authentic attitude and historical bohemian spirit. She invests in timeless pieces that she can keep for years mixing with different brands and designers, high street and luxury. She desires luxury but knows the price is an investment. This is the creative worker who has the available funds to partake in weekend city breaks to interesting and undiscovered parts of the world.
AGED 30-50 She enjoys the finer things in life but with an edge. She is the VIP camper at Glastonbury. She connects well with others who are like minded individuals and creates close knit groups, especially through the connection to music and artists.
"Zadig has really imposed a new vision of how to dress the woman in a very boyish young but still feminine way."Â She is aged between 35-50, and will still be wearing the Zadig and Voltaire leather jacket 10 years after she purchased it, in one their upmarket stores in the heart of Notting Hill.

NEW LIFESTYLE TREND RETURN OF THE GROUPIE There is a rising lifestyle trend that is developing in a glorious manner. With a nostalgic and rebellious essence, a certain age group are taking a step back in time to the ‘good old days’ to experience their youth once again, just this time they are aged between 50 and 70 years old, with more time, more money and more opportunities to relive their teenage years. “People are living longer"
COLOUR & MOODÂ
COLOUR PALETTE The main colour palette this season is fresh and dazzling being all about pastels that aren’t faded nor dusty. Based on the Kinship trend forecasted by WGSN, there is an energetic mix of complex reds and indigos, plus seeing a huge amount of green. With a sense of global influences, colour this season has a real sense of intensity, with multicultural influences.

Rose Violet
"For colour, this inspires a rich palette characterised by spice and fruit tones. Colours such as Apricot and Dark Ginger have a natural hand-dyed quality, while juicy reds have an inherent intensity, similar to that of opulently coloured fruits. These colours seem to hold within them the anticipation of summer, and feed perfectly into this trend’s craft-focused spirit." (WGSN)
Neutral whites this season are highlighted with pink and revitalising sorbet colours. The combination of black yarns blended with brighter tones to get a grungy look is perfect so the SS18 Zadig woman. Â
The seasonal statements for SS18, have a great sense of heritage spanning from all over the globe, with intense tones that create an energetic mix for the height of summer.
COLOURS OF THE SEASON
BAKED CORAL
Baked Coral is one of the key colours for SS18. Paired with rich tones of indigo and navy, the baked coral colours become modern and innovative. Once a natural and intense colour, baked coral is a perfect contrasting tone this season and is at the heart of the colour palette.
TAPESTRY INDIGO This season a rich and cultural historical factor lies behind the colour palette. As a traditional global dye colour for the craft industry, Tapestry Indigo is key for denim this SS18. With an essence of architecture and historical printing technique, this colour will create a perfect tone for summer with a bohemian and festival inspired undertone. Â Â
DARK GINGER The harmony that dark ginger and red tones create when mixed in bold block colour with indigo and blue tones is perfect this season. As seen by Balenciaga, the use of this primary colour palette together creates something unique with a hand crafted element.
Yarn & Fabric
Luminous Fluidity Creating Motion
This season is all about creating luminous fluidity in a garment. Transparency and motion is a key element with yarn and fabric for SS18. The use of fancy shiny yarns from polyamide, Lurex and real silk for decoration is key to improve drape and handle.
BRUSHED METAL
Transparency and semi-transparency sections are alternated this season with fine knits in silk or linen. There is a real sense of a satin gleam with plastic like laminated knits and ultra-varnished shine. Particularly in shirts and blouses semi-transparent silk will be huge. This sense of weightless fluidity will be mixed with an affirmed shine.
METALLIC KNITWEAR "Metallic knits transition to a softer silvery finish for slick modernity. Pure silver taps into a positively charged spirit, promoting conductivity, reflectivity and healing properties, whereas steel offers sculpted, mouldable potential." (WGSN)
FABRICS OF THE SEASON

Print this season centres on hand drawn botanicals and Amazonian tropical print. With an essence of Aboriginal Australian hand crafted art. Graphics are flat and unfinished, with prints of palm trees, tigers, algae and rainforest plants.
