FW 21/22 MACRO TREND
HOLISTIC HARVEST
OVERVIEW:
HOLISTIC HARVESt
PATTERN CURATOR NOTES:
‘Holistic Harvest’ macro trend is influenced by the steady and increasing global attention on agriculture, technological upgrades and our environment. Going into 2021/2022, consumers are even more overloaded with information and innovation. While it is seen as great progress, there is a trend of needing object and products that serve a humanity purpose, that can serve as an antidote to modernization in While fashion loosely tied to this trend, there is a residual trend for apparel & home in color, function and form. As for print & pattern, the motifs that shape this trend are familiar and evoke a sense of optimism or purpose. Created with great care to spark a positive, relaxed and rewarding sensabilites. Mended patterns and textures that blend together almost deliberately.

MIND AWAKENING
OVERVIEW:
MIND AWAKENING
PATTERN CURATOR NOTES:
There is an overall trend from psychotropics to psychedelics for medicinal purposes. ‘Mind Awakening’ is less mind altering and more about an expansion of consciousness. What is proposed is different than the pyschadelics of the 60’s, although there are a lot of similarities. More and more people are “microdosing” to feel more creative and focused, not necessarily to get high. Naturally, this global trend will influence the aesthetics of color, print and pattern for a few future seasons to come. Color influence is not quite as vivid as past psychadelic influences, still vibrant and experimental. Print and pattern as slight hallucinogenic feel to it as we see more photo-real and sublimated prints showing up.

ESSENTIAL SYNTHESIS
OVERVIEW:
ESSENTIAL SYNTHESIS
PATTERN CURATOR NOTES:
‘Essential Synthesis’ is the convergence of function, necessity and well-made. This macro trend is different that minimalist. While it seems that way at first glance, the trend isn’t focused on less is more. Rather, it is honing in on each object and item having a certain cause for being. Every detail is design thoughtfully and each part is placed for a reason. Color-wise, this macro trend is based in neutrals, specifically natural neutrals that can be vegetable dyed. The idea with this palette is that it layers upon seasons past and seasons to come. For print and pattern trends, there’s no trend - the patterns are timeless and unobtrusive. The low-key print and pattern is gear towards longevity rather that a singular season. Color, print and patterns are precisely secondary and succinct.
