SIMPLE

Seeking a peaceful lifestyle in harmony with nature, the trend utilises a colour palette mildly drawn with neutral tones, showing natural softness and delicate brushstrokes. Fabrics are split into three categories: Quiet craft, Emo-tech, and Mystic past.

HACKING

Blending sport, beauty, comfort, and sustainability, with rhythmic and refreshing hues such as dark camouflage contrasting with signage brights. Sexy corp, Outdoorsy, and Glam move make up the three eye-catching categories.

MISCHIEF

A neo-romantic style brimming with modernity, revealing a milky pastel palette empowered by a playful spectrum of hues. Sub-themes include Sugarbaby, Preppy boy, and Cheeky Cheeky.

FREEDOM

This trend draws from the desire to escape into an extraordinary, non-routine existence, using an exotic palette fusing mysterious hues with sunny gradational tones. Fabric categories consist of Dramatropic, Happy Hippie, and Serenity.
