BOYS:
The comeback of street wear ushers in a theme that is characterized by the electronic music scene. The look features T-shirts with cool super-sized texts and striking prints with neon accents. Hoodies with graphic prints and intricate appliqués are also very popular. Vibrant colors, such as flashy green or flag red, contrast with asphalt and black.

Sporty influences are gaining ground and lead to this season's second major theme: retro sport. Here, color block T-shirts and polo shirts, slogans and typographic artwork are embellished with high-quality appliqués and print techniques to clearly emphasize the theme. Dark red, sporty green and blue freshen up anthracite and classic grey blends.

Denims are both the basics and the trendy eye catchers of every outfit. This is shown in a wide variety of mood blues to dark denims. This season's focus is broken twill denims and herringbone, as well as a slim silhouette with zip pockets, flap pockets, belt loops and rivets.

The woven pants feature structured fabrics that are soft to the touch. Interesting double pockets, stitching, rivets, high-quality lining and lightly coated surfaces characterize a new work wear look. The jacket trend ranges from biker jackets to sports blocks to classic parka styles.

GIRLS:
Among the Girls, street wear also plays a major role, and this is reflected in the New Rave look. Young, sporty styles and unusual combinations are typical signals from the New Rave scene. Clear, bright colors such as red, lilac, asphalt and black, are accentuated with graphic prints, embroidery and bar tacks in neon pink.

Here too, the key style is the jeans. This season, denim is presented as a new color rather than as a separate product group. This is a result of clear washes from smoky sky to blues, dark denims to bluish black. Stretch fabrics are becoming increasingly important for the skinny fits and hip bellbottoms.

The large variety of styles ranges from 7/8 tight-fit pants to slacks, extra long skinny fits and bellbottoms with a narrow leg and flared hem. Woven pants are given an authentic statement with checks and dog's tooth patterns.

Highlights of the collection include a flared patent jacket and a denim overall. Tunics and T-shirts are combined with cropped A-line jackets or cool parkas with large button details. In contrast to the New Rave look, the second theme Country Romance adds a playful touch. Velvet ribbons, flounces, tucks, large buttons and millefleur designs emphasize the girlish theme.

Cord and rough knits in dark colors, such as purple, chocolate and anthracite, emphasize the wintry component of this collection. Knitted jackets and pullovers, tunic styles, blouses with allover prints and various knitted and jersey dresses are worn with leggings for a wide range of possible combinations.
