Institut Néerlandais
22 January - 8 March 2009

The Li Edelkoort retrospective at the Nerlandais Institute in Paris is not to be missed if you are in teh city at the moment, the last day is coming up soon.
It is conceptual and at the same time all the associations on the trends are precise, interesting, and clear. Perhaps that is why Li Edelkoort is one of the most respected Trend Forecasters in the world.

“Acheology of the Future will be divided into seven sections, organized by juxtaposed trends. The fourteen trends are a selection of the key lifestyle movements of the last twenty years, bridging the two centuries from 1990 to 2010″
Body | Soul
Global | Local
Flora | Fauna
Urban | Rural
Armour | Amour
Abstraction | Narration
Nihilism | Hedonism
It as very interesting to understand the relation of the clothing to the inspiration it derived from. And some very personal anecdotes gave the understanding of the exhibition a new dimension.
