It's show time

摘要

Autumn is a time of exhibitions, with September and October liberally sprinkled with what's new and what's to come. While colour forecasts streak ahead to two years hence, footwear, leathergoods, clothing and accessory shows whet the appetite for now and next spring. Earlier, Le Cuir a Paris covered everything to do with leather, from finished leather to finished articles, including car upholstery in a Chrysler and leather jewellery. The concept is simple—inspire the world's designers to think leather. Last month's MIDEC show in the same city concentrated on fashionable footwear; it seemed as if the majority of displays featured shoes bleached with a fine quality, yet brightly-coloured leather Green, in any shade, is clearly 'the colour' of next spring/ summer season for men, women and children alike. Red and light blues also dominated the stands and catwalk shows, and any leather shoes with a strong metallic-looking glossy finish caused a definite sensation.
