Upcoming footwear

Standing out among the macro trends for S/S 2016 is a monumental style, a minimal and futuristic mood expressed by avant-garde geometric patterns, metallic materials, primitive and natural nuances.Also dominant is a new vintage typified by a delicate style and retro flavor but in a modern setting: a kind of elegance where shoes nod at the past in a minimalist key.Vintage hues are warm, neutral and characterized by pastel colors (mint green, cream and powder pink).The sartorial trend is also very strong and is conveyed through modernized and rebellious classics: patterned prints, tartans, bicolor designs, a mixture of classic and sporty.Colors are extreme: from modern shocking pink to classic shades of cream and hazel. A more energetic and primitive mood emerges from next season’s highlights and is explored from a dark perspective. The key words are sport, digital technology and minimalist design. From deep black to neon green, colors are bright, fluorescent and electrifying.(photo: Frau)
