Indeed, across the world people are witnessing a renewed sense of OPTIMISM, definitely the key word of this masterclass.

Technical and technological advances are coming into fruition, in fact, robots could radically shift the apparel industry. Many actions and events across the world lead us to think that we’ll continue to make life better.” « OUR MOMENT » BY CALVIN KLEIN #MYCALVINS CAMPAIGN FOR SPRING 2018, WHICH CENTERS AROUND THE THEME OF FAMILY AND UNITY

THIS WAVE OF ECONOMIC OPTIMISM IS DIFFUSING INTO COLLECTIONS, WITH A PALPABLE EMULATION AND ENTHUSIASM. BoF has, for example, qualified the JW Anderson FW18 collection as “Happy Clothes”.
