APLF Product Trends Spring-Summer 2022

by Olivier Guilemin [o,o] in collaboration with the Comité Français de la Couleur

APLF leads us into a dynamic season for Spring-Summer 2022. A season that continues from Fall-Winter 2021/22 and shows that trans-seasonality is now essential. The holistic, the sustainable, our experience of this new age and a return to earthly inspirations all help us think positively about tomorrow. Mindfulness and re-enchanting reality also propel this dream of our vision. Feeling, fashioning the future.

Let’s dive in!

About APLF

We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.

 

We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
