Rio de Janeiro's Fashion week is officially underway. It marks the return of veteran designer Walter Rodrigues. And there's a beach collection from Totem, reminiscent of the 1960's.

Rodrigues is back making party clothes. This is the essential Rodrigues - his claim to fame.

The latest collection, mainly in black, drew inspiration from ancient China and from the late actress Audrey Hepburn.

Rodrigues said his collection was also influenced by abstract artist Mark Rothko. Rothko is best known for contrasting bold colors against tones of gray and black.

Totem's summer/spring collection posed the question "why not?" There were colorful patterns set off by head ornaments consisting of metallic flowers and military helmets. The music of the Beatles and 1960's bossa nova tunes provided the musical background.

Designer Fred d'Orey, said he wanted to capture the tropical essence of Rio in his collection, so he introduced pineapples and bananas over solid colors.

Salinas Collection - Spring/Summer 2009

The art of celebrating
What products will be popular with your customers next year? What trends will be important in the major cities of the world? And how can one create trend-orientated, in-store displays? You’ll find the answers to these questions at the Christmasworld Trend Show in Hall 9.2. Here, exclusively for Christmasworld, international designer and trend researcher, Gunnar Frank, has assembled the colours, designs and materials you’ll need to guarantee your displays correspond to the decorating trends for 2008/2009.

The trends of tomorrow are influenced by a cultural diversity of festivals. North, south, east and west, Frank’s trend worlds take their inspiration from worldwide style trends:

* Banzai East
* Candy West
* Lagon North
* Baroque South

Here we have put together a small foretaste for you:

Banzai East

Frank’s muse for the Banzai East trend world is Japan – the simplicity of a Zen garden, orchids and blossoms, exotic glass and polished metals are all major style elements. Orange-gold, linden green and sky blue are the dominant colours in this Far Eastern style.
 
Candy West
The look for kitschy trend world Candy West is as sweet as candy. Overloaded with mirror glitter, immersed in confectionery colours like pink, caramel yellow and mint, the decorative elements in this style trend are reminiscent of the dazzling, garishly colourful atmosphere of the carnival. Pop art is the force behind the association Frank creates between the whimsically trendy and the familiar.
 
Lagom North

The Swedish word Lagom translates as pleasant or exactly right. Exactly right is the best way to describe the relaxed comfort generated by the Lagom North trend theme. Featuring plain decoration, natural simplicity and a substantial amount of manual craftsmanship, the Swedish style world features pale colours like pink, sky blue and leaf green. In addition, naïve floral patterns and wreathes set joyful accents.
 
Baroque South

A touch of history, a pinch of the modern - in "Baroque South" dissipated opulence merges with contemporary ease. Delicate porcelain with a gold structure, floral decoration as light as air, damask and elegant candlesticks create the perfect setting for a sophisticated festive occasion. Dramatic colours, including magenta, aquamarine and ruby red, make a big impact.
