The mega-trend of the edition N° 1: SKIN, THE ULTIMATE LAYER, A SEARCH FOR IDENTITY

An individual had several social layers between the person and the outside world (think uniform, title, social class). These layers are slowly disappearing - leaving us feeling naked. The skin is the ultimate border, a porous boundary between inside and out. It protects the body and serves as a canvas for self-expression. All around, this report focuses on skin as:

• The external body limit: nudity, sensuality, intimacy,
• The internal border: a self-reflection, the exploration of ourselves according to our mood.
