Premiere Vision Paris presented the British colours and textiles for Autumn Winter 2018-2019
Full colour statements, innovative finishes, an abundance of ideas and beautiful manufactured details bring an overload of exciting textile messages from the British mills this season.
The relationship between fabric and technology continues to evolve: the outer reaches of what is possible reshapes design concepts, giving rise to a wealth of exciting outcomes and unforeseen multi-disciplinary design solutions. An overall feeling of authenticity envelopes the season as we observe the development of themes that focus on the re-emergence of rustic textures mixed with recycled or artificial fibres, new unexpected and 'disruptive' ways to work the classics, together with a younger market for tailoring and decadent elegance. The British mills pay utmost respect to their textile production, sustainability and provenance, all trusted aspects of their collections that are enjoyed by loyal customers at home and worldwide.
pioneer
Curiosity and having an attitude that is wide open to discovery and possibilities,
researching the links between nature, natural, technology and digital, exploring new
design-led frontiers not only with textiles and fashion but also with health, human
adaptability and science.
A new focus on nature that maintains its visual appearance though transformed by tactile sensations and 'raw' irregularities to accentuate fantasy. It's all about familiar looks mixed with technical function and a desire for modern fabric essentials: the buzz word here is 'techno-authenticity'.

establish
This theme celebrates our confident and well-loved British textile heritage and diversity,
creating something beautiful and original, interwoven with wonderful narratives; it alludes
to travel, migration, ancestry and a new future through a range of complexly rich fabric
styles. We notice humorous and eye-catching interpretations of some of our fabric design
stalwarts such as Hounds tooth, Prince of Wales and tartans.
Alongside these more decorative looks we also find fabrics that are simple, solid colour with 'strong' and intense amplified textural effects, vibrant colour being the key driver here for architecturally inspired bold fashion statements.
