[PV NY Talk] – The Ripple Effect The 20 December 2023 - Première Vision New York

Thu. January 18
2 pm – 3 pm
Seminar Room, First floor

Sharon Graubard of SG FILES will present 6 clear and compelling fashion trends, or “TrendTales”. Each trend narrative tells a relevent and inspiring fashion story that will support seasonal forecasts, with a focus on must-have items and specific fabrics, textures, colors, prints and patterns that will resonate with those found on the exhibitor floor.

The SPRING 25 forecast, THE RIPPLE EFFECT, positions trends within the cultural moment. Shifting consumer values further 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, fashion history, and social movements — bringing clarity, meaning and authenticity to the seasonal design process.
