Look down: how many still wear classic leather shoes or heels? A rare sight. But change is coming. After years of streetwear dominance - sneakers, cargo pants, oversized cuts - elegance is making a comeback. 

This shift starts in fashion but reaches design and dining too. Think Italian flair, romantic table settings, and Al Fresco charm, like at Antwerp’s Cobra. 

Expect a return to refined style and clearer etiquette. Materials follow suit: retro and rounded forms, playful dots, romantic florals, sugar-coated finishes. Colors like red wine, riviera, pale plum, champagne, supple sand, and evening blue bring back timeless polish.
