MORE BREAD AND BUTTER

an overview of last years bread and butter trade show in barcelona.

blaynista's you may not be familiar with this event, but "bread and butter" is one of the largest trade shows in europe. they are loved by fash insiders abroad for forecasting trends in urban wear. organizers of the show just announced that next years show will be 60% bigger, which means more "street wear" (as opposed to couture) designers. one of my favorite sites, wgsn, visited their recent trade show and noted that upcoming trends in street wear include:

• denims in "boyfriend" and "over sized slouch" silhouettes
• lots of neon brights and "angular geometrics"
• splashes of blue, greens, and yellows to "update cool slate greys"
• muted mettallics on denims and futuristic jackets and tops
• sailor and nautical details and silhouettes
