S/S 2018 CIFF trends and key shapes continue to evolve slowly. Risk is the enemy and familiar styles are the core around which strong ranges are built. Color is a primary way to add newness, with new fabric choices also spicing up firm favorites for S/S 18. A noticeable and interesting trend that we are seeing more of across trade shows (which originated on the catwalks) is a return to prominence for tailoring. While brands known for their suiting are rubbing their hands, others are trying their hand at smart stories. The scene is set for a move away from the directly sporty streetwear styles of recent seasons toward a more smartened-up feel, giving the customer new reasons to buy colorful jersey pieces, practical jackets and modern tailoring.
