PANAMA TRIMMINGS
BLUE WOAD: a colour full of history! The color Blue has a very long history while the woad have played a key role for the spread of blue dyeing. Ancient Egyptians were the first to use it to obtain blue color. Nowadays, going back to the origins, Panama Trimmings is searching alternatives for synthetic colors which are polluting and harmful. Woad matches the need of natural, traditional, and pure dyeing.

What role does trend forecasting play in your design and development processes?
İpeker focuses on fashion trends at a global level but must also consider the individual fashion needs of different counties as well. Our offices in Como, Italy and Augsburg, Germany play a vital role throughout the creative process. We have local designers who apply their regional creativity to our local fashion approach. With another 10 designers who work to develop the main collection taking a more global fashion approach. World famous design studios from London, Como, Paris and trend studios like Nelly Rodi and Peclers Paris play an important part in our design and colour direction. İpeker then applies its own hand writing through innovative print techniques to coordinate a global fashion statement.
