The 2009 Spring/Summer Trends publication from CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements says it's time to Slow Down—a welcome prescription during hectic times! Take a break from unpleasant thoughts and use a soft design approach that is emotionally healing. "Slow" activities like bicycling, yoga, knitting, needlepoint and canning have once again become popular. Allow this deceleration to enter your sense of fashion.
In support of this, Trends shares the words of Stefano Pilati, creative director of Yves Saint-Laurent: "Being a designer is not about ego. On the contrary, it is about a need to share what one imagines to be a dream-like, beautiful world—and ultimately to share one's solitude."
