The Future Laboratory identified four trends for 2011/12, which they illustrated in four pavilions, using fabrics from exhibitors at Heimtextil Image courtesy of Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH

上周，我们飞快地来到法兰克福，参加了巨大的海姆特蒂尔博览会，超过2600家参展商展示了他们最新的面料和文件。无论是自由职业设计师展示了即将投入生产的新图案，大品牌推出了他们的最新系列，还是合同屋展示了具有新的声学和嗅觉优势的面料，在博览会的11个史诗般的展厅里，都有很多值得启发的地方。为了给会议带来一点关注，展览组织者，法兰克福先生，呼吁未来实验室的趋势大师来发布他们2011/12年度的预言。从艺术、时尚和设计世界的信号来看，他们把这些主题浓缩成四个主题，用他们的名字来概括：清醒，荒野，混合和实用。虽然可能已经相当熟悉的想法，团队当然产生了美丽的编辑面料从参展商在博览会上，许多探索新技术。这些展馆是在四个构思丰富的展馆中呈现的。法兰克福是世界上最大的贸易博览会的组织者之一，海姆特蒂尔是它的支柱之一，现在已经是第41年了。这是今年第一次展销会，它提供了未来12个月行业形态的一些迹象，而且，随着去年参展商和参观者的增长，这对2011年来说是个好兆头。总之，未来看起来很好。
