As part of National Colour Week from 1-7 September 2013, the next much-anticipated trendtalk session – the sixth in the series – will be held on 3 September in Cape Town.
trendtalk is an industry gathering where key presenters reveal the latest design and décor trends, by sharing visuals, provocative ideas and thoughts on the lifestyle shifts that will touch us now and in the future. The sessions are open to the public, at no cost, and are held in aid of design charity, Rock Girl. There is a voluntary donation at the door.
trendtalk#6, entitled “the colour of the times”, will outline new directions for colour in 2014, social design in Portugal and London, and an overview of the recent “Fall” Collections. The event includes a lucky draw from Entrepo, a pop-up shop by Karien Belle Boutique, and refreshments courtesy of Sir Juice.
The trendtalk#6 speaker panel includes celebrity journalist Les Aupiais, fashion stylist Catherine Bowen, and colour trend forecaster Anne Roselt.
