Fashion.at tip Autumn 2018: Old and new in combination under the motto 'longevity' with focus on sporty lifestyle

Fashion.at collected some pieces representing one of the key trends of the new season summarized under the term 'longevity' in concern to the durability of materials, design which withstands short fashion trends and 'longevity' in regard to the own health by practicing every day a sporty lifestyle.

Recently, Fossil Group presented fashion smartwatches at the consumer electronics show IFA Berlin (31 August - 5 September 2018) with new features like Heart-rate Tracking (using Google Fit), NFC payments (through Google Pay); Untethered GPS (GPS for walking, cycling,... built into the watch; you can leave the phone at home), Swimproof (for tracking swim workouts), and Rapid Charging (up to 80% in an hour). Among the new watches, the Michael Kors 'Access Runway' in gold, powered by Wear OS by Google (on view at the image on this page).

The typical Austrian alps walkjanker 'Fritzi Erzherzog' is from the 'Tradition'-line by Lena Hoschek. 'Walkjanker' doesn't mean translated 'walking jacket' as might be assumed; walk references the material's production method. The very durable and naturally body temperature regulating felted wool is produced through a treatment of the fabric which is compressed and strengthened by washing and a special mechanic processing, the 'walk'. English and German language meet in the etymology of the word 'walk'. Once, 'walk' was used in Old English for 'to full cloth' and denoted in the Middle Ages the mechanical treatment of fabrics; the 'walker' was the one who treated the material by using his feet.

The new eau de parfum 'White Rose de Alix' from 'The Legendary Collection' by British perfume house Atkinsons (founded 1799) is the re-interpretation of the original scent used by Tsarina Aleksandra Feodorovna Romanowa. The Tsarina's original Atkinsons flacon is part of the collection of the Tsarskoe Selo State Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia. The scent 'White Rose' premiered in 1910 and was re-composed by perfumer Julie Pluchet as modern vintage eau de parfum under the name 'White Rose de Alix' (available from September, October).

The messenger bag is from the new Samsonite 2WM collection which was presented with focus on cyclists at the latest IFA Berlin. "Commuting on the bicycle becoming more prevalent than ever" is the brand cited at the IFA website with introduction into the all weather design and materials of the bags.
