the craftsman In a digital crazed world with consumers becoming ever the more demanding, needing products instantly, a rebellion trend is sneaking its way into society. Taking a moment to see the process of how things are created, appreciating the delicate and intricate use of a craftsman’s hands as he creates his work of art. Taking a break from the speed of technology and enjoying a more handmade and authentic approach.

industrial momentum This mechanical driven aesthetic projects the desire to escape, it encapsulates the need to hit the road inspired by the trend of escapeism. No material is seen as scrap material - the more decayed the more desirable. Through the use of industrial metal from old aeroplanes to pipes, a question is put upon the viewer wondering the past history of these mysterious objects, getting lost in the story.

the vocalist The vocalist is a trend that combines fashion with powerful social and political messages. Street art is integral to Berlin’s culture and is often used to convey messages. Using fashion as a platform to express political opinion the Berlin trade show, Bread and Butter, used the graffiti from the Berlin wall of two men kissing to advertise the release of the brands that would be exhibiting at the show. Street art was also used as creative direction at Bright trade show where this sub-culture was seen to inspire clothing, visual merchandising and print. Using political references not only gives context to this trend it also allows people to express themselves through a creative medium.
