Czech PRECIOSA seed beads at the international exhibition ECLAT DE MODE - BIJORHCA 2012 in Paris. Geometric and three-dimensional shapes will be in. This trend will certainly play into the hand of the new Czech two-hole PRECIOSA Twin™ seed bead.

The end of January 2012 belonged to one of the world’s most significant costume jewellery exhibitions. Bijorhca once again welcomed all of the important representatives of the fashion trends in the costume jewellery and jewellery worlds to the Paris Exhibition Centre.

As well as the infinite numbers of unusual shapes of filigreed costume jewellery with a variety of coloured seed beads, threads, lines and tapes, the trivial simplicity of the fashion costume jewellery design was surprising. Tradition and untraditional uses of beads and seed beads have once again succumbed to ethnic influences. Natural materials are dominated by the rainbow flecked reflections of peacock and rooster feathers. Fluttering imitation leather has overtaken softly tanned leathers and woollen woven materials due to its softness and lightness. Yes, we are still talking about costume jewellery and fashion accessories. The trends which are now moving the fashion world include seed bead and bead appliqués on clothing, shoes and fashion accessories. In particular, bags and handbags of various sizes, shapes and used materials have been clearly dominated by rocailles and bugles supplemented with pressed and cut beads and imitation pearls.

Lovers of the modern style will also find something to love in the upcoming period. Geometric and three-dimensional shapes made from seed beads and beads will be in. This trend will certainly play into the hand of the new Czech two-hole PRECIOSA Twin™ seed bead with which it is easy to create interesting three-dimensional and original structures and patterns. Even those who prefer the classics will not be disappointed. Strass, chatons and the perfect working of silver and other metals in dark and light colours have a permanent place in this industry.

Visitors were able to convince themselves of the directions fashion will head in during the months to come at several concurrently run events, of which the best known was without doubt the Pret a Porter Paris event called Who’s Next 2012.
