Alongside catering to the fashion-concious, the brand constantly monitors its optimisation and innovation processes. For A/W 2018, Tamaris presented several launches: the Fashletics by Tamaris, Tamaris Heart & Sole and Marcel Ostertag x Tamaris product lines.

The colours of the A/W 2018 range from feminine pastel shades in soft pink and lilac to deep burgundy and purple tones and the colours of the forest with intensive khaki, olive and azure blue.
“Never stop this revolution” is the key message at Tamaris Heart & Sole, where high heels meet ultimate comfort with the patented insole. New colours and decorative elements underline the elegance of the cool models. The golden heart is the unique selling point of the collection. The elegance of the collection is enhanced by many pointed last shapes that give the shoe a particularly feminine look.
The Marcel Ostertag X Tamaris presents a collection entitled “Opium” where consumption is transformed into pleasure, presenting patterned leather, subdued colours and rose-gold decoration elements. Marcel Ostertag’s collection is a tribute to the life work of Yves Saint Laurent and his ecstatic excesses in the 1970s. Glittering parties and glamorous staging serve as the perfect inspiration for the collection. The collection name “Opium” has been deliberately chosen, reminiscent of Yves Saint Laurent’s opulent fragrance, it unites all time-travelling cosmopolitans. The colour palette ranges from Merlot and navy to old rose, olive, anthracite and black. The plexi heel is the signature piece of the collection and comes in new accent colours such as rose gold, Merlot, olive and grey.
