Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 14TH April 2016: Organised by DV Global Link - a joint-venture company between Fiera di Vicenza and the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC),VICENZAORO DUBAI (VOD), the definitive global jewellery show, opens its doors tomorrow introducing its visitors to Fiera di Vicenza’s independent think tank and trend observatory, TRENDVISION Jewellery + Forecasting, where seminars will take place at Dubai World Trade Centre on April 14th and 16th 2016.
TRENDVISION Jewellery + Forecasting serves a global audience of buyers, retailers, media, businesses and opinion leaders and shares the latest industry trends, consumer profiles and production dynamics, 18 months ahead of the market.
On Thursday April 14th from 3.30 to 4.30 pm TRENDVISION Jewellery + Forecasting will lead the seminar “Product Directions update 2016-17 International Economic Climate “ featuring an overview on the International Jewellery Sector.
Trends that will come evident in the jewellery and luxury goods industries from 2017 indicate coming product directions for the marketplace. For jewellery these include contrasts of strong minimalistic tendencies, as well as opulence and eye-catching styles. Within the understated ‘less is more’ field, edgy and fluid are the stand-out directions, transforming into geometric shapes and patterns, or delicate and organic lines.
Science also reveals to be a strong influence as metallic spheres and pearls play the role of molecules and atoms, whilst a romantic flavor echoing historical themes is expressed in swirly art nouveu-inspired décor and lacy patterns. A ‘Steam-Punk’ inspired edginess of the Post-Digital Era brings back a new interpretation of skulls, cross motifs and armor-like silhouettes.
Paola De Luca, TRENDVISION Jewellery + Forecasting Creative Director & Forecaster will also present the “Consumer profiles update 2016-17,”a complete analysis of the primary consumer types and their characteristics, explaining their geographical location and specific styles and preferences. This important update will be provided at a dedicated seminar on April 16th, from 1.30 to 2.30 pm at VOD Conference Room.
