GERRY WEBER IN SHOW Gerry Weber er mellem de brands, der deltager på CIFF Showrooms fashion show på CIFFs åbnings- dag onsdag kl. 12. Gerry Weber is among the brands attending the CIFF Showrooms fashion show taking place during CIFF on Wednesday at noon. GERRY WEBER Q | Please name the most important key looks for spring/summer 2020 Q | What do you consider to be the crucial stylistic inspirations for Gerry Weber? A | After the extensive customer surveys last year, we discovered that only our own signature style standing for quality and good fit will make us successful. We will of course also take inspiration from fashion shows all over the world, compile city information and visit textile fairs, but the decisive factor is in what clothes our customers feel good. That means we have the job of analysing the colourful world of fashion to produce new looks that are both commercial and lastingly popular. A | The casual, clean style!
 What is essential to us is that trouser suits are clean, straight and available in new colou- rs.
This includes simple silk t-shirts and our GOTS-certified cotton shirt. Power dressing is one of our mottos.
Our customers want to show off their figures, they are self-conscious and they want to freely take centre stage. New types of products will be introduced, more technical at the start of the season, and then new material blends. Our dresses come in various silhuettes and are made of among others jersey or satin stretch material, and they are bi-elastic. The focus is on refined prints or large-scale flower prints made of cotton spandex, while ruffles cover problem areas.
 Flowing skirts with utility details can also be worn casually with multicolour trainers, plus laid-back shirt blouses. The ready-to-wear catsuit made of loose crepe – either with a wide leg gather or slim silhouette, girded or wrapped – a splendid al- ternative to a dress.
 The casual look is also important, and in the new collection for Spring/Summer 2020 we show shortened chinos with casual shirt blouses or laid-back, light knitwear with cargo trousers and light trouser suits with utility details. We are using utility and safari details subtly without making the garments athletic.
 A Q | What do you expect to be bestsellers for the Spring/Summer 2020 season? A | Last season, we sold loads of colourful blazers and trouser suits; with red, lilac and green being the bestsellers. Next season, trouser suits will be available in new colours and cuts; and the combi- nation of the new trouser silhouettes and longer blazers will give the look a facelift. The culottes proved to be very popular with our customers, as reflected by good sales figures. So this is a theme that we want to further expand and improve on. GERRY WEBER
