Vital

By the WGSN Textiles team, 06 August 2013

A light-hearted and refreshing theme contrasts textures, fibres and colours for a fresh approach to
design. Pleated detail and geometric pattern enhance multicoloured stripes and delicate sheers while
lively jacquards and soft shells have a harmonious balance. A high-energy palette of vitamin colour helps
boost our mood with replenishing pinks, oranges and yellows paired with optimistic Forget-me-not, Lime
and a hint of Black Cherry.

Expressive brushstrokes
Textural paint applications are replicated through splattered pigment finishes, inky warp prints and
painterly jacquards for peach finished casual denim, cotton shirting and decorative silk jacquards.

Soft form
Bundles of found materials inspire a fresh take on soft shell fabrics with bonded cotton and acetate, as
well as aerated mesh fabrics, bonded technical nylons plus non-woven fleece and vibrant summer-weight

Revealed grain
Replenishing pastel shades and optimistic brights are brought together in casual shirting stripes and
checks. Subtle dobby texture and warp-pleated detail add an extra element of interest.

Sheer geometries
Cut crystal and bevelled glass provide inspiration for delicate sheers enhanced with textured geometric
detail such as cotton cord windowpane checks, devoré organza chevrons and dip-dyed heat-set pleats.
