In contrast to our troubled era, rugs are back in art and design as an aesthetic antidote.

Join Li Edelkoort for a free webinar to celebrate Valentine’s day. Forecasting colours & fashion concerning Spring/Summer 2025. Her inspiration is Candy Culture & the message is Sweet!. Don’t miss this chance to meet each other, we have so much to share!

Candy Culture, Sweet Spring Sweet Summer 2025

Only some candy has the gift for providing essential neutrals, as found in liquorice and nougat, both responsible for elegant summer clothes that celebrate the comeback of formal fashion. Even more chic and stylish are the darkest ranges of réglisse black and chocolate brown, chosen for their presence in immense renderings of the spring suit and the summer dress. Adorable shoes are part of this candy craze and continue a discourse of blown-up proportions and viscous materials, giving the silhouettes a distinct Minnie Mouse allure.

As a case in point, colour is out to prove its hegemony above and beyond all other parameters of fashion and design. Having been banned, shunned and even vilified for a quarter of a century, now during the most difficult timeframe since the Second World War, colour will take revenge by drawing up an astounding picture of wild creativity, steering fashion design out of control

Recently, details from children’s clothes have slowly penetrated the fashion sphere, introducing ballooning sleeves, baby doll dresses, baby boy shorts, and bobby socks, with baby Mary Janes to boot. This search for the naïve and the childish marks the beginning of a much broader quest for innocence, happiness, and joy.

Yarns are the threads that bind us. Spun from animal fibres, farmed from nature, innovated in labs or unravelled from waste, they are currently at the forefront of contemporary culture with the exciting return of creative knitwear and crochet — simultaneously an expression of craft, resilience and protest but also a trendy way to combat the onslaught of digital technology and intelligence. Come learn more about how yarns relate to identity, circularity, diversity, empowerment, environment and social change. Now, more than ever, we will savour their federating power and celebrate the knit of togetherness.

Design and fashion react and swing in protection mode, wanting to take care and heal, swaddling their collectors, holding tight, and caring for people of all ages. Swaddling is usually used to give infants the feeling of the safety they crave after leaving the protective warmth of the womb. The effects of such hermetic wrapping are visible in the overwhelming return of knitwear as a category of its own; no longer just an afterthought, it is a head-to-toe, day in day-out, morning-to-evening phenomenon to reckon with. Hibernating while rolled up in sweaters, cardigans, and blankets helps the body combat emotional stress and slow down the metabolism in order to use less energy of all kinds. Conditioning us as a survival mechanism.
