RAPAPORT... TRENDVISION Jewellery + Forecasting, by Fiera di Vicenza, specializes in deciphering consumer behavior and focusing on style trends in the jewelry and watch industry. The group unveiled the latest trends it labeled ''Inspirations 2014'' at VICENZAORO Spring 2013 that is underway. ''Mutations'' are the guiding theme for design 2014 and TRENDVISION Jewellery + Forecasting researchers identified six main areas for which they created rather evocative names and definitions. Experimental Nature The focus is on mechanical structure, on demonstrating the original beauty of flowers in paradox combinations of technical and botanical materials. Experimental Nature combines all things functional, natural and technological. Mutations Influenced by science-fiction, the cosmos and 1960s retro futurism and contemporary space, these ideals inspire an aesthetic direction that is sleek and dense with spheres, either in clusters or sculpted. Shadow Reality This trend represents a mix of past aesthetic codes and offers a 21st century version of rococo style accompanied by a dark and melancholic atmosphere. Ethno-pop A futuristic interpretation of ethnic style and know-how creates innovative and contemporary designs in a game of mish-mash with materials, blending tribal shapes with bright colors and new techniques. Mix'n Craft A renewed interest in traditional craft emerges, set to influence future trends in a mixture of heritage and modernity. Nostalgic designs, charming details and traditional materials blend to create a chic effect where grandma's memories are given a modern touch with a do-it-yourself approach. Visionary Structures Graphic shapes that combine art and science, technology and simplicity offering unlimited scope for design. Motion, techno-sensitive engineering and 3D effects play with shapes and forge new perspectives.
