My upcoming lecture on 4 Lifestyle Trends Autumn/Winter 2017/18

Trend Lecture-IMM17-Gudy Herder

I’d like to share with you a few invitations to come and hear me lecture on 4 Lifestyle Trends Autumn/Winter 2017/18 in Cologne at the international interiors show IMM. I already gave last year away a few entry tickets and was very happy to meet in person a few readers of the blog. This year I am going to lecture again on January, 16 at 3.30pm and hope to be able to meet and greet some of you again. I will speak about four micro trends and one leitmotiv that encounters the driving force for all of them.

The four trends will be:

1// BIO LAB

In a world where clothing will grow in laboratories in a future, this trend talks about Synthetic Biology, an interdisciplinary branch of biology and engineering. The focus is on well-being with calm yet experimental looks.

2// REFINED RAW

In a world ruled by accumulation including fast fashion, this consumer has a deep desire for going back to the simple and most essential. It’s all about consuming less but better.

3// NEO PUNK

Subcultures break free and rebel! We will refer to Neo Punk as an on-going catalyst that continues to inspire, refuse categorisation and spark creativity around the world.

4// HYBRIDISATION

With growing migration towards larger cities, cultural roots are melting embodying a different narrative of what ‘roots’ mean today.
