Emotional Resonance theme.©  C.L.A.S.S. From the 3 February, for the second World Class Tour will welcome, by appointment, designers and fashion companies to view the latest trends for 2016. This tour starts in Milan, from 3-5 February and then moves to Copenhagen, from 23-24 February, London, on 25 February, Madrid, from 3-4 March, to end up in New York, from 10-13 March.

According to the trend-watchers at C.L.A.S.S. Spring/Summer 2016 will be characterised by the contrast of strong emotions and softer contradictions.

Unconventional Mellow trend represents the chromatic dynamism and multi-coloured patterns. It is an adventurous trip to seek out new ideas and emotions, featuring fabrics with shiny effects, geometric prints, drawn lines, irregular jacquards and light embossing.

Emotional Resonance stands for tactile sounds, the harmonious essence of fabrics that blend practicality and comfort with intense tonalities in powdered effects. Reliefs, circular knits, striped fabrics and denim looks are main features of this theme.

New fashion collections

The companies with eco-textile credentials that C.L.A.S.S. has chosen for the S/S 2016 World Class Tour present new fashion collections that offer a rich assortment of exclusive solutions, perfect for any stylish creation.

The new products presented in the showrooms of C.L.A.S.S. employ yarns and fibres of the highest technological content for fabrics of the finest silk, 100% bio cotton, knits, and the ultimate in woollen fabrics. Behind each and every eco-textile there is a story of research and cutting-edge technology that the team at C.L.A.S.S. will explain in full to each visitor.

“With the World Class Tour of S/S 2016 style leaders will be able to preview products that embody the very latest trends; new, high-performing technologies; and the added quality that is their sustainability. These three values are sought not only by those who work in the industry but also increasingly by the final consumer and by a public that is aware and demanding,” commented Giusy Bettoni, founder and president of C.L.A.S.S.
