This is the perfect timing to review the trends for Summer 22.

By highlighting four extensive and beautifully illustrated theme’s, Christine will show you that design is a language, the expression of the spirit of the times in shapes, colours and materials. To ‘understand’ this language and to use it in the choices you make in developing your collection or products, it is of the essence to fathom the zeitgeist.

LINKING YOUR BRAND PURPOSE TO SHIFTING CONSUMER NEEDS

What drives me most, personally, is to identify, clarify and create a deep understanding of the spirit of the time and then use this to assist people, brands, enterprises and organisations, in a meaningful way, taking the right steps going forward. When you understand the spirit of the time, you will see what drives people, and if you know what drives people, anticipating their wishes and desires will become the next obvious step.

“You’re analytical, on the spot and clear. I’m now seeing the world trough fresh eyes. And there’s always something concrete for us at the end!”
