Brands are shaking up the system from the ground up, seasons are blurring, with some replaced entirely by multiple product drops announced on social media.

SPECTRUM - looks at fashion’s methods of creating visual friction by bringing together multiple influences into single dynamic looks.

Focus on fabric with amazing light-catching fibres, holographic sequins and colour-absorbing sheers. Choose fabrics with interesting yarns and incorporate movement with long hairy fibres or fringes. Have fun with accessories adding glittery finishes or combinations of unexpected materials.



COLOUR FORECAST - combining softness and vitality, the palette connects to the senses in a physical way...

OPEN - taps into an expressive, socially-connected form of design with wide appeal. A safe space to open up the creative mind.

Play around with proportions by styling single oversized items along with regular or slimline pieces. Move shapes away from the body with volume and flared outlines. Cut into silhouettes to add angles and dipped hemlines.



COLOUR FORECAST - striking a creative balance between natural and manmade environments...

HIGHER - has a strong sense of awareness and a solid connection to nature. It reaches beyond the superficial and taps into our humanity.
