Re-invention bringing back the old in new ways

We consume less, and in the world of fashion, this means recycling, re-utilizing buttons, ribbons, hooks and cords, macramé and patchwork, a return to crafting, learning to knit and crochet, and to accessorize.
This makes it a season of contrasts and alternatives, a time to lead not follow, not professing one clear path but instead allowing a scope for diversity, fusion and an ability to construct our own unique looks.
Color plays a powerful role in this invention. Strong, rich saturation is essential with colors that are warm and positive. There is a sense of glowing that comes not only from the level of color, but also in sheen and metallic finishes.
Yarns and fabrics equally express developed interest by creating surface effects of all types: textures, sheen, diffused aspects and surface hair, and multi-color looks achieved through blending, twisting and printing. A time to be showy and expressive, novelty yarns and fabric developments overtake re-works of blends, and this is where the newness emerges.

I felt this passage perfectly reflected how to describe what the trend is all about.
