[PV NY Talk] Radical joy / SS26 The - Première Vision New York
14 January – 10 am
Sharon Graubard of SG FILES will present her signature “TrendTales”, clear and compelling fashion stories with a focus on emerging must-haves and the fabrics, textures, colors and prints/patterns that will define next season’s aesthetic.
The SS26 forecast, RADICAL JOY, positions evolving trends within the cultural moment. Shifting consumer values shape the narrative, as current concerns like climate change, radical inclusivity, zero waste and brand ethos inform the way we shop, dress and care for our clothing. SG FILES shows how trends emerge from these intertwining threads of art, interiors, fashion history, and social movements — bringing clarity, meaning and authenticity to the seasonal design process.
