fashion trends for spring/summer 2010

Kinetic – male & female – spring/summer 2010

Energy and movement define a fashion transformation. Performative apparel morphs into everyday wear; bionic lifestyles integrate optimal comfort with functional styling and intelligent textiles. Traditional sports and dance collide with active street movements. Combative urban dance, street sports and a retro cycle courier look all convert effortlessly into a grungy work wear look.

Fashion Interpretation:

The palette has a cool, urban base of grey with steel and gunmetal while warmer colours like yellows, limes and indigos are evocative of LEDs and video. Digital grunge is the key look, while intrinsic to the trend is intelligent fabrics focussing adaption to the wearer and environment. Silhouettes are relaxed with draped jersey, low crotched trousers and layered styles. Transformable and reversible features along with multiple pockets, fastenings, tabs and functional details capture an essence of movement by responding with practicality. Dynamic prints and graphics have a linear feel to convey the energy of this trend.
