NOSTALGIC FUTURES 2017-18
World, moving too fast and constantly changing in the process, provokes a fear of ending and losing and creates a feeling that things do not last anymore. The idea of loss invokes a deep sense of nostalgia. The future may be bright but we feel the need to remember our old selves. Turning back to the past, embracing the old and well-known times and memories, makes us feel calm and safe. Designers find solutions in using traditional designs but showing them in a new way. They remind us of that safe place that existed in the past by evoking memories, but also always finding a new way to use them and transform in to something new.
The trend story is further explained through mood boards for different categories of women's luxury jewellery with runway reference of the Fall 16-17 collections.
