NEO GRUNGE (Photo: Clariant)Muttenz, June 20, 2011 – The fashion focus for Autumn/Winter 2012-13 is on clear-cut contrasts and greater extremes. And it is the sheer depth of contrasts – warm or cold, light or dark, black or white, romantic or grunge – that has provided the impetus and inspiration behind the new color and trend forecast for the footwear and leather sectors. Compromise is no longer chic whereas the sensitivity for the timeless and sustainable has increased. Supporting its customers in generating their own collections, Clariant launches its new Global Color Card – developed in close cooperation with ModEurop, the Fashion Pool at DSI (Das Schuhinstitut GmbH) – as well as its leather trend booklet ‘Fashion Up!’, in preparation for Autumn/Winter 2012-13.
