Emmanuelle Linard of Edelkoort Inc.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019ve never attended a Trend Union, you\u2019re missing out on an exceptional experience.\u00a0 This past Wednesday, Emmanuelle Linard, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the U.S. branch of Eldekoort Inc., wowed an audience of students and professors with her presentation.\u00a0 Naturally, fashion students are drawn to the wealth of information about upcoming trends.\u00a0 However, the \u201cshow\u201d is an auditory and visual feast that appeals to varied disciplines (photography, graphic design, musicians\u2026).\u00a0 Students are honored to witness this event twice a year.\u00a0 (Thank you Parsons!)\u00a0 Eldekoort Inc. presents their audiovisual to industry insiders around the world.\u00a0 They cull cutting edge styles and fashion-forward colors that will surface in designs, months and years down the road.<\/p>\n

This Trend Union focused on Autumn\/Winter 2014-2015, and was entitled “Bold, Fashion\u2019s Plan B.” Emmanuelle Linard opened by explaining, \u201cWhether the economy is good or not, it\u2019s still a crisis year.\u201d\u00a0 While designers tried to do their best in reaction to the worldwide collapse of the economy, consumers are now bored.\u00a0 Creativity is paramount.\u00a0 \u201cHow much of the same can you buy for your wardrobe?\u201d Linard asked.<\/p>\n

The presentation was divided into sub-sections, all beginning with \u201cB.\u201d\u00a0 Linard started with Bold, Baby, and Bare.\u00a0 Color concepts formed the next categories of Blush, Blood, Burgundy, Brick, and Bland.\u00a0 Blood comes from our dark obsessions over vampires and creepiness, and a range of red from liquid to dry will translate seamlessly into the beauty market.\u00a0 But, don\u2019t limit your thoughts solely to shades or tints.\u00a0 The headings also conjured deeper ideas of shape, texture, yarn, and pattern. Next, Bulbous, Battled, Bad, and Bundle offered a dramatic shift in silhouette, along with material.\u00a0 Battled was represented by armor and metallic, but also military green and navy.\u00a0 Bonkers and Blotched inspired images of craziness and random artistic strokes.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Bright and Balloon harkened back to a child\u2019s birthday party or a candy store. \u00a0Linard completed with the uplifting concept of Bonbon:\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ll leave behind the gloom and doom.\u201d\u00a0 Bonbon is a new \u201cdisco moment of metallics, fun\u2026bars and dancing.\u201d\u00a0 Aren\u2019t we all ready for this?!<\/p>\n

Throughout Linard\u2019s presentation, audience members nodded with understanding. \u00a0Somehow, Trend Union always resonates and you understand where we are and why we\u2019re headed in the direction of the forecast.\u00a0 Eldekoort Inc. uncovers the hidden messages around us.\u00a0 Their team illuminates the pulse of humanity through color, shape, style, and design, resulting in an eye-opening production.\u00a0 During the Q and A, students asked how to incorporate all of the proposed facets of fashion into their lives and their work.\u00a0 Linard queried back, \u201cWho are you, really?\u201d\u00a0 You get to choose.\u00a0 A new age is coming, the Age of Expression.\u00a0 Which \u201cB\u201d will you be?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
