S/S 15: MarediModa print & fabric trend analysis
By the WGSN Swimwear team, 13 November 2013
Innovative 3D fabrics are high on the agenda at this year's MarediModa, alongside movement and light-inspired print trends.

Future innovations were the key focus at MarediModa this season, specifically in relation to beachwear. Seminars were held on How to Boost Innovation, with conversations turning to smart textiles. Flexible circuit boards that monitor breathing capacity were cited as the future training kit for the swimming elite, and cosmetic textiles and sand repellent fabrics are also high on the agenda.
Elsewhere, the overriding theme for spring/summer 2015 is movement. Seen across both print and hardware, swirling marble motifs add depth to beads and pendants. The movement is emphasised using a bold multicolour palette.
Sharp linear patterns also feature heavily, often arranged in a haphazard manner, and accompanying hardware had a clean matt finish and industrial styling.
Iridescent light effects are a strong message in fabric and print creating a multi-tonal effect. Light and movement inspirations are also visible within the emerging kaleidoscope trend seen at the show, with bold and angular patterns, and dark undertones.
Subtly altered and filtered florals update commercial prints, playing with vibrant colour seen at Lior S.R.L., and fabrics are manipulated with 3D textures taking centre stage.
Colour-wise, fuchsia, persimmon and blue create a fresh look for spring/summer 2015.

Movement is a key theme illustrated at the show, using motifs of light. Rave-inspired prints use digital and rotary techniques.

Striking kaleidoscopic patterns suggest movement and light effects. Bold and angular repeats feature dark undertones.

Iridescents
Iridescents are a strong message this season. Light effects are mimicked in fabric and hardware, creating a shimmering ombré finish in-line with our S/S 15: textiles forecast.
