Specifically for CPM, the Carlin Creative Trend Bureau team selected four of the most striking trends for the upcoming Spring-Summer 2027.
The result is four trend areas at the CPM and dreams by CPM exhibitions, illustrating current fashion trends in areas such as women’s and men’s wear, outdoor technology, and lingerie & beachwear fashion.
The trend balances simplicity and sensuality, embodying the desire for physical and spiritual wellbeing, combining adaptability, sustainability, flexibility and efficiency. It offers flexible modular solutions, monochrome and minimalist aesthetics. Classic drapery is reimagined in stretchy, technical materials for sportswear. Subtle patterns inspired by digital noise and effects are revealed in colors with subtle vibrations. The trend gravitates toward a neutral palette with sensual notes: subtle beige, neon glow, discreet pink and beige latex.
Inspired by the art of watchmaking, this trend draws inspiration from the complex and orderly mechanisms and patterns of watches. The combination of jeweler’s green with silver accents and a cerulean hue creates a sense of new precious materials. A luminous mechanical gray adorns technologically advanced garments for fans of futuristic mythology. Floral patterns carved from cool metal reflect an avant-garde jewelry aesthetic. The trend revolves around cool jewel tones: jeweler’s green, mechanical gray, cerulean blue, and mythical red.
Responding to the need for simplicity and sincerity, this trend envelops us in an invigorating, optimistic color palette that gently restores vitality. Colors interact in layered, translucent forms, revealing an inner radiance and evoking joyful emotions. A loose fit creates a silhouette that combines romantic comfort with a penchant for elegance. Artists’ images and watercolor paintings inspire and help unleash creativity. The trend offers a picturesque palette of clear pastel tones: washed-out blue, vibrant orange, radiant yellow, and rosy happiness.
This trend responds to the need to rediscover the wondrous fantasy of alternate worlds in real life, balancing the virtual and the physical. Urban travel and wardrobes have been completely transformed, while maintaining traditional codes and muted colors. The trend reimagines the aesthetics of workwear: details and deconstructed graphic cuts are centered around a neutral, rugged gray. Volumes become extravagant and oversized. The trend is based on urban and extravagant shades: urban khaki, eccentric violet, brutalist gray, and complementary blue.
