CHRISTMAS 2010
IN MEMORIAM 2010
The inspiration for this trend theme could be a foggy, chilly winter’s day, on which one cuddles up into a cable-knit woollen blanket from natural sheep’s wool and glides through the snowy winter landscape behind a horsedrawn sleigh to the sound of bells. Natural materials such as hide, felt, wool and paper in animal hair colours from wool-white to camel are supplemented by grey-hued purples, acquiring a modern look. The natural theme is lent a festive air by silvery accents and motifs such as glittering ice crystals and stars.

In this trend theme a rustic farmhouse atmosphere is blended with classic Christmas colours and motifs. Together they form a harmony of traditional arts and crafts and atmospheric gracefulness. Natural materials in brown and berry shades join festive star and Christmas tree motifs in red, green and gold. Hearty felt and wood accessories or soft country checks establish a craft character, with this supplemented by glittery gold seasonal elements.
With its numerous references to old cultures and long-passed eras, this trend radiates a faded nobleness. Baroque elements and lavish ornamentation speak a language as luxurious as that of the sophisticated materials: velvet, metallic lace, lurex yarn and jacquard weaves in the suave metallic colours of copper, bronze and brass, moving on to golden yellows and carmine. Glittering stars and pearls with shiny surfaces or crystal look round off the festive image of historic pomp.
This is how Christmas must be in a modern fairytale castle: romantic, mellow, glamorous and a little playful. Tender pastel shades from snow white to pink and creme and on to powdery brown and purple hues are generously accentuated with glittering silver and gold. Decorative motifs such as angels’ wings, crowns, Christmas tree baubles and glittering stars ensure romantic elegance, as do transparent materials interspersed with silver thread, lace, pearls and ornamentation. A delight for modern princesses!
