Today's fashion shows tend to be trans-seasonal, with the viewer expecting to wear the garment in a matter of days. Quality and longevity therefore have to be built in and wearable fashion cannot be as trend led as its fashion week counterpart. Modern fashion is primarily about detail, the fit and the cloth. It can be tribal, sustainable and exclusive. Today's consumer is nothing if not a decreeing one.
Prominent buyers and editors draw on many different sources for their research but always seem to ground it in real clothing and function. I often explain to my viewers that no matter how mundane or avant-garde a designer may appear to be, at the very core of the design there must be an authenticity of purpose, together with an awareness of the modern world.
To be a successful fashion stage producer of shows, it is vital to have a familiarity with pop-culture history and modern day requirements. Fashion is not about extreme silhouettes and superfluous detail as the shows present during fashion week but rather the contemporary consumer exercises a more discerning eye for attention to detail.
