Groovy Baby SPRING/SUMMER 2016 DESIGN INSPIRATION

Asos customer looks to runway shows and street style blogs to pull inspiration for tomorrow’s trendy #OOTD, which is where we pulled our inspiration. Our research lead us to Voguerunway.com and WGSN.com to compile our inspiration for colors, patterns and silhouettes. We looked at to Gucci and focused on the playfulness of their collection. While also looking at Elie Saab and studied how they used lines to highlight the body in certain areas, while looking at the silhouette lengths on style bloggers and celebrities.

Groovy Baby

It’s all about the past; commemorating style trends that once thrived on every street and adding a modern twist to move on. This retrospective brought back the 70’s inspired trend this year and now designers like Gucci, D&G, Burberry, Mary Katrantzou, among others, quintessentially collected from a variety of eras to upgrade the bohemian look into Customers who shop at ASOS are trendsetters and innovators, well informed about the latest news and trends in the realm of social media. Just like they live fastpaced environments and share life via technology, they feel the need to be up to date with street style trends and fashion at all times. We believe that “Groovy Baby” is the cutting-edge trend that will strike this season by upgrading historical and cultural references of the 60’s and reinterpreting them for the contemporary consumer. The 60’s were all about expression, building up personalities and showing off through pops of colors, bold prints and strong silhouettes. During this time anything and everything went, fashion was so wrong, that it is now right. This was a time in history when everything from the first women’s right movement, to Woodstock. (Essential the first “Free the Nipple” campaign). Women began wearing pant suits, Peasant Blouses and overalls, while also being able to wear loose fitting clothes, shear fabrics and let their hair flow in the wind. Now in 2015 women are feeling more empowered and celebrated rather than repressed.

Celebrating the body of a women and not being afraid

to show off one’s true personality, it’s getting back to the free nature of the 60’s. Also music festivals like, Burning man, Coachella and Made in America are starting to change the face of fashion and the festival scene. Much like Woodstock.

“Groovy baby” has a strong reference in the 1960’s, an era marked by space exploration, mod style, hippie counterculture, and a controversial war. We believe it is a relevant source of inspiration for sophisticated design, elevated novelty and pop-culture reference while focusing on subversive color and texture. “Groovy baby” is a playful, energetic summer story that evokes a sense of softness by using subtle texture and color. It also includes bold, graphic prints that emerge in the form of spliced stripes, graphic panels of pattern, and black outlines to update the color-block tailored look. While florals overhauled with a bohemian approach they now condense to ditsy scales to provide a move on from the popular 1970s trend. These vibrant screen-prints are blocked, layered and striped together, moving the 60’s graphic looks away from geometric design. Peached, tufted and flocked surfaces emerge in a palette of subdued pastels and washed-out brights. Over-the-top decoration and embellishment take on a new sophisticated relevance where DIY meets high-end, elevating sugary studs, sequins and diamantes to couture levels.

This basic woven top is created from 100% cotton. The top features a scoop neckline and straight cut that resembles a shift silhouette.

Where did it come from?

This style upgrades our last season basic top by adopting the new color palette and a 60’s reference to black outlines that update the color-block tailored look. This woven structure mixed along with bold outlines and soft contrasting trims gives our basic top almost a sartorial approach that customers will be able to pair with anything from day to night. Our new basic top presented in 5 different colorways recalls the soft sugary shades and bright accents that the “Groovy Baby” theme presents.

This style upgrades our last season basic top by adopting the new color palette and a 60’s reference to Mod aesthetic. With playful color, big bold details, circles and play on lines. Our main inspiration for this design was designer Jean Patou. Patou much like other designers at this time used a playful color pallet, big buttons and a fit that showed off women’s personalities. One of Patou’s signatures was a trench coat with contrasting button, high collars and fits that moved with the body. “Groovy Baby” is created with modern in mind, but keeping the 60’s detail aesthetic in mind.

Floral printed T-Shirt w/ Shrunken Fit What? Where did it come from?

This style upgrades our last season basic top by adopting the new color palette and a 60’s reference to the heavy influencer of the art community in the 60’s. Which created bold in your face patterns and designs that made for a psychedelic, groovy time. Looking at artist like Johnny- Tapete, and Hilke MacIntyre really inspired our design. Our abstract, yet geometric floral pattern is a play on the flower child’s of this time, the children that inspired “Groovy Baby.”
