From the organizers of Tissu Premier:
"The general mood of the season refocuses on the urban world as an area for new experimentation. New shapes, new cuts,
dense and structured fabrics are an invitation to rethink clothing design for clean and graphic fashion. Behind classic, almost
austere looks, the futuristic temptation can be felt in the exploration of surface effects and complex constructions. Meanwhile,
both appealing and respectful, natural looks prove to be extremely sophisticated. Everything also depends on the way it is all
worn and mixed. Without extreme eccentricity, but easy to twist, fabrics lend themselves to every kind of whimsical
customization: a very subtle mix of casualness, extravagance and stylish elegance.

Tissu Premier offers a well executed general forum which consists of 3 casual forums as well as an area dedicated to the color range for Fall/Winter 09/10.
