High-Spirit holographic

Bold holographic, extraterrestrial silver, and glow-in-the-dark materials make and appearance for this Spring Summer ‘19 for a playul motif in many collections and streetstyle. Holographic materials came into play with the rise of synthetic materials and the obsession with futurism in the 1960s and the bright, lively spirit of 1980s fashion. Their dynamic and energetic natures are eye catching add stamina and vitality to looks Designers use the duality and brazen materials to create a sense of whimsy and add a space-like vibe to looks and collections perfect for any “it girl� or bold soul. These synthetic materials can range in stiffness from more drapable, flexible textiles to thicker materials that are used to create more volume with crisp lines or ruffles. They also range in transparency to create depth and layers within a look. The duality of the materials is eye catching adjusting with the reflection of light as the wearer moves. It also makes allows for a duality in suggested forms and lines with the shifting of colors and light.

Heat reactive and glow-in-the-dark materials are included for facinating surprise with a more dramatic shift than just light and reflectivity allowing for a diversity in temperature, or a high contrast neon in a dark room with black lights. Street style focuses on a bold look, capitalizing on the duochrome by blancing with vibrant patterns , or contrasting the light reflective materials with darker, light absorbing pieces.

Makeup and hair to compliment this trend typically revolve around clean faces with glowing skin. Sometimes a pop of color reflective of hues within the textile are included for an electric feel.

Free the Nipple

The female form has been expressed contextually and visually in painting and sculpture for centuries. Its boundary pushing notion making a reappearance into fashion in the 1960s with bra burning and the second wave of feminism and in the daring designs of the 1990s. Designers are artfully highlighting a modern, gender inclusive version making the statement of an expression of representation, equality, body positivity, and often a level of shock value for some modest sectors of the culture.

Garments and collections range from darker, sometimes grungy looks to more classic silhouettes in sheer fabrications.

These styles excite the eye and highlight the form wearing the garments, rather than covering it, leaving less to the imagination and more to interpretation. It makes a statement about body postivity, understanding, and normality with designers overcoming the stigma of womens breasts and nipples needing to be covered.

Makeup and hair with these looks ranges from heavy eye makeup to compliment a more rock ‘n roll look to minimal faces to highlight the garment and the body wearing it. Hair can be sweet, grungy. messy, or bohemian, what matters most for this trend is the statement and person wearing it.

Charmed

As technology, machines, and the ability for flawless perfection, consumers and designers are craving a sense of human irregularity and tactileness within fashion. Clothing, much of a representation of culture and identity, is a reflection of the truly unpredictible variable of human error.

Collections and garmets within this trend are inspired by natural looking textiles, such as linens and denims, with asymmetrical and curvalinear shapes. They are inspired by travel, identity, nature, and the imperfections and irregularities that make the world and people unique. Some collections interpret this trend using drapey layering, ties, frayed edges, asymmetrical shapes and silhouettes, and deconstructed knits.

Colors are desaturated, inspired by natural tones, and crisp cream and off white neautrals sometimes complimented by classic, minimal plaid and striped prints keeping looks clean and focused on shape, form, and movement. Often, looks are a combination of inspiration taken from womenswear and mens wear bringing gender identity, or lack there of, into the concept of the human variable.

Enigmatic angel

There’s something ethereal but strange about it. Enigmatic angel encompasses a sense of celestial design with a darkness or a quirk to it. Angelic and god like depictions have existed within literature, art, and culture for centuries naturally translating to fashion. Interesting abstractions or connections have also been made distoring the typical perception of Angelic, such as in Ray Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles, with key notes of a celestial, other worldly being remaining constant.

In recent and upcoming collections, designers have taken this concept and adapted it with gothic and eccentric twists for an enigmatic angel.

In the new Alexander Mcqueen collection, Sarah Burton paired light, airy garments with leather corsets and sharp lines. Other designers, like Ann Demeulemeester, took airy white and semi sheer fabrics in a more deconstructed approach keeping volume and movement at the forefront of the collection. Many garments and collections feature sheer, flowing garments for a more lustful abstraction of the concept, as well as, designers who took a more gothic, edgier take on enigmatic angel. Street style has a an interesting approach pairing distressed denim and a doll like aesthetic for something energetic and eccentric.

Makeup and hair to pair consists of natural faces focused on healthy skin and a glow, to sometimes adding slightly heavier features for more theatrical version of the look. Head coverings and hair bands can be added to compliment or abstract the face. This trend is about the movement and feeling of the garment creating and otherworldly representation that ranges from playful to darkly captivating allowing for this trend to adapt and grow as time passes into various interpretations.

Formidable

An emphasis on form, layers, sculptural shape and lines, and simplistic graphics make up formidable for a sense of power with subtle intricacies or sense of softness. Neutral tones make for a more sentuous comforting feel. Daring prints with fluid lines and shapes contrast for a different aesthetic of graphicness that creates a sense of layering and structure.

Garments and looks within this trend provide a notion of strength with dynamic definition that resides within a modern consumer hyper aware of the world around them from politics and pop culture.

Some visions reference 1990s minimalist aesthetics, as well as the clean lines of “the new look� post World War II. Voluminous sleeves, structural lines, wide leg pants, and statement jackets and blouses collect this trend for elements that can be layered and pieced together for a more subtile look to an over the top maximalist sense, with crisp organic shapes and lines. Gathers, pleats, cut outs and prints tell the story and often take center stage in encapsulating this dynamic trend.

Hair and makeup complimenting this trend are more minimalist or natural with fresh faces, slicked back or natural textured hair, and the occasional pop of color on the eyes or cheeks. Simple accesories keep focus on garments while chunky accesorries balance the graphic, shapely aesthetic of Formidable.
