Trend Forecaster Edelkoort Lecture at Holon Mediatheque

Post Fossil: Excavating 21st Century Design, the new exhibit at the Design Museum Holon will open tomorrow, January 27, 2011. Putting Israel and Holon on the international fashion map, Exhibition Director and trend forecaster Lidewij – Li – Edelkoort will give a talk at the Holon Mediatheque: Earth Matters: Summer 2012 Fashion and Textile Trends.

In her introduction to the exhibit, Edelkoort says, “In the aftermath of the worst financial crisis
in decades, a period of glamorous and streamlined design for design’s sake comes to an end. A new generation of designers retrace their roots, refine their earth and research their history,
sometimes going back to the beginning of time.”
Often called “the archaeologist of the future” Edelkoort is in Israel for a second time as a guest of the Design Museum Holon and the Holon Mediatheque. Her fashion predictions are presented internationally twice a year – setting the stage for trends to come.
