GEOLOGY DISCIPLINE

Defined and inspired by the earth’s natural flux which is happening now, has happened and will continue happen as part of our evolution. This trend is dictated by the synergy of innate organic occurrences of nature and the curious co-existence of human-made technology. Mother Nature is the guiding artist to learn from.

VAGUE AEON

A little bit of nostalgia, imagination, reality and reading into the future. As we are now entering a world where science is no longer fiction, we can see that our lifestyles and aesthetics is a conglomeration of all that we know. A little familiar and a little unexpected - not exact, yet clearly distinct.

REFINED OPTIMISM

Hope for the best and plan it that way. Not so stuffy, yet carefully put together. Inherently charming and pleasing to the eye. Partial peaceful statement and demonstration of elegance. Joyful and pleasing to make a point to stand out, not be lost in the background.

RUSTIC LUXE

For Fall / Winter 2019, there is an earthiness and lavishness in style and comfort. The idea is not to be worn out. Look to textiles and garments that were once hand-made with such great care to last a lifetime. Colors, patterns and textures that have faded beautifully and graciously in the sun.

EVERYTHING GOES

Taking everything up to the next level. Styling, textures, color, print and pattern, not just anything - everything goes together in this trend. All deliberate and intentional. Free spirit meets strong voice. There's a message to be heard that fashion rules are meant to be broken to be made up again.

REIMAGINED CLASSICS

A twist on classic textile patterns. Plaids are making a strong resurgence, not just in the casual shirt world. Classic scarf prints and placements clashed with pinstripes, polka dots and wall paper florals. This trend is anything but boring. This is a look at the "best of's" in the history of fashion.

CALIFORNIA CASUAL

For Spring / Summer 2019, we are seeing comfort as an overall essential aesthetic. There is an overarching easy, yet intentional put together vibe for this season. Rather than looking to other countries for this trend, California classic style seems to be popping up as the obvious underlying influence.

HYPER REAL LO-FI

Another trend emerging for Spring / Summer 2019 is the mash up of polar opposites. New vintage. Really bright brights & really pale pastels sitting with each other. It's not like what we've seen in previous seasons, this go around is slightly softer. Intense hues in organic shapes. Lighter shades in more aggressive patterns.

WORLD INFLUENCE

Though this may seem like a repeat or something that hasn't gone away. It's not. Trending for Spring / Summer 2019 has a modern twist to authenticity. Different than past seasons of taking one country or identity & expounding on it. This trend is a little more nonsensical, slightly haphazard as an homage to unity.
