Thema

English translation: Theme/Collection Theme

Marketing - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
German term or phrase: Thema
Ich brauche Ideen...
Es geht um eine Kollektionsbeschreibung. Diese gliedert sich in unterschiedliche Linien (fashion lines) - z. B. Classic, Active.

Dann folgt:
"Diese drei Linien werden in folgenden Inspirations- und Farbthemen angeboten:
Seaside season, roving spirit etc. "

Beispiel für ein Thema:
"Roving Spirit
Dieses Thema spiegelt eine herbstliche Farbstimmung wieder. Die gedeckten Farbtöne unterstreichen diese Stimmung und wecken die Lust auf Spaziergänge in der Natur."

Wie übersetzt man Thema/Themen am besten? Im Moment habe ich Theme(s) als Übersetzungsvorschlag.

Wer hätte einen guten Vorschlag?

Vielen Dank!

Explanation:
In anderen Bereichen (Ling., Mus.) ist "Thema" eine Ordnungseinheit auf niedriger Ebene (Muster), während hier (Herbst) m.E. eher auf die übergeordnete Idee angespielt wird, die besser mit einem umfassenderen Begriff bezeichnet wird...

neutral  Ulrike Kraemer: not sure "topic" is a suitable term in this context; any references to back your suggestion?

Collection


Explanation:
A slight change to what Thomas already suggested, I really don't think you need the "theme" part, the fact that each collection has a different name already implies that they have a different theme.
So I think just "collection" on its own is fine.
