In March 2015 James Dunlop Textiles took part in a New Zealand design event.
Working with Lyndal Wallis from global trend forecaster WGSN they presented a visual interpretation of four macro design trends for Spring Summer 2016.
I have taken some of key slides from the video that was uploaded on YouTube.
Opposites merge in surprising new ways. PAST MODERN is one of the Macro Trends S/S16 looking at the past and the future and how they can blend together today.
New technologies such as 3D printing and scanning allow to work with ancient symbols and designs modernizing them in a contemporary context.
