SOVEREIGNTY AUTUMN WINTER 2018/2019
INTRODUCTION Sovereignty: supreme power or authority; a self-governing state. In this day and age we are so all connected to one another. Living in a world with this much technology, it is not that surprising. We are influenced by anything and everything around us, and now it is to the point we are almost like puppets on strings. We tend to do things not because we desire to do them but because everyone else is doing it. Now more than ever its becoming semi-subconsious. Sovereignty explores the increasingly visceral urge to think for yourself and to do things for yourself, thus being independent. In a sense it is getting back to the basics and having an authentic lifestyle. It is not so much isolation but more of a disconnect from the world around you. Being self sovereign should make one at peace with oneself, which is the cause for an emphasis on the softer color palettes opposing the usual harsh dark fall colors. The fashion world is becoming one that is seasonless, thus allowing trends to not be as restricted as they use to be. All of the themes test these new waters by including some of the softest pastels and well as rich darker tradition fall colors. Existing, Outward, Justified, Conspicuous, and Ruling all relate to the theme and expand on the idea of being your own person.
Sovereignty will take you on a spiritual journey to independence.

EXISTING
4
Existing: live, especially under adverse conditions.
Merely existing is where the journey begins. Existing is inspired by our desire to just live. Living our lives with little to no influence from the world around us. The trend vision was also heavily inspired by the bohemian lifestyle. The color palette is a range of pinks to beiges and purples to greys. The pastel give the trend a peaceful vibes that will translate into the clothing and accessories This trend really focuses on rough edges as they are always a little more spontaneous than precise or clean cut edges. The irregular patterns and forms offer an appealing tactility. The looks will be a lot less constructed than other themes, exaggerated voluminous shape and even some�shag�.With global warming the textile range from soft, dreamy cashmeres to warmer wools. Giving consumer a variety of fabrics to choose from.

OUTWARD
24
Outward: going out or away from a place. Outward stems from the idea of thinking outside of the box. The world is so in tune with technology that you begin to forget what is outside and all around you. Outward’s trend vision is the old saying, “back to the basics”. Getting back into nature and really seeing the world through your own eye and not through a screen. The color palette ranges from cool creams to warm browns, really pulling colors from nature. Roots, bark, and leaves inspire a collection of linear patterns, as nature’s veins undulate and weave between each other. As for textiles, the main focus was worn down fabrics. These fabrics are treated and washed to give them a really “worn in” look. Texture is a necessity with this theme. Most of the texture is in the trims, coming from all the distressed denim,obscurely cut fur, and the fibers.

JUSTIFIED
44
Justified: having, done for, or marked by a good or legitimate reason. Justified is inspired by sediment layers of sand rock, which added a collection of linear patterns. Being self sovereign is never non justified. It is our right as a human to be able to make decisions for ourselves. The trend vision is leaning toward more structured looks, while the patterns differ between structured lines to unstructured lines. The color scheme is very muted. It is cool shades of grey with only hints of an ashy lavender and a dirty yellow, accenting the dullish greys. Fabrics included comfortable cotton knit and woven wools. Sediments can be processed into several different things. They can be cut into bricks, which or formal and structured. Or sediments can be broken into smaller piece to become rocks, which are organic and vary in size. Embellishments are very much inspire by the various types of sediment processes.

CONSPICUOUS
64
Conspicious: standing out so as to be clearly visible. Conspicious is literally it’s definition, standing out. This theme is exploring the idea of being an individual, in a sense not “following the crowd�. With this theme comes rich, dark colors as well as lighter accent colors co exist. Key trends would definitely be statement pieces and pops of contrasting color, especially crimson reds. Patterns also play a major role in this theme. Both organic patterns and structured patterns coexist in this trend and are meant to be worn together. Fabrics range from woolen plush knits to silky velvets. Embellishents are a major trend following this theme. They add a little something quirky to a peice. Both button and beadwork are major trends, as weel as colorful stitching and carpet shag.

RULING
84
Ruling: currently exercising authority or influence. Sovereignty’s final theme is ruling. Ruling is inspired by our desire to rule ourselves with little to no influence from others. In a sense it is taken in a sort of literal way. The medieval period and Ancient Greece heavily influenced Ruling. Trending fabrics will be heavy woolen jacquards, as well as thick knits. The color scheme ranges from creamy ivory, complementary oranges and blues, to neutral grays and blacks. Masculinity as well as femininity are both emphasized in this trend vision. Femininity is seen in the warm colors, while masculinity is seen in the cool colors. Trims include 15th century inspired buttons, dark furs, and lace and ribbon applique.
