RUSTIC NOMAD COMMUNITY ROAM MOBILE ADAPTABLE TRIBAL
3
Inspiration for this trend comes from nomadic tribes and the idea of being self sufficient. Mobile living is becoming a major trend amongst young people who don’t want to feel constrained to one place. Travel culture has had a huge impact on the way people perceive the home and how versatile it can become. Small spaces are being preferred to typical houses as people prefer to spend their money on experiences rather than on materialistic things, causing this type of person to become more resourceful and find fulfilment on the outdoors. New mobile shelters have been designed of the back of the refugee crisis and a new found demand for space has caused people to form new communities. IKEA’s first flat pack refugee shelter won design of the year in 2015. The ‘wearable Dwelling’ coat, which turns into a tent, was a new concept idea aimed to enable shelter for refugees or the homeless.

Puffer jackets and padded coats are an important element to this trend but puffed effects go further from just coats into basics like trousers and skirts. Tufted details tell a rustic story and add a worn effect. Influences are taken from Native American tribal garments in which fringing effects are heavily used.

CALM AWARENESS TACTILE SPIRITUAL HEALTHY LIVING MINIMAL CLEAN
This trend is inspired by the vast amount of emphasis seen on living mindfully, following a ‘clean lifestyle’ and having an awareness on health and well-being. Clean living has caused diets such as juicing to become a multi billion industry and have kick-started a ‘clean food’ revolution. Buddhist monks lead a great example in their pure and clean way of living. Jeong Kwan is a Korean monk who approaches cooking as a spiritual practice by using only natural home grown ingredients and spices. Meditation is a huge part of a monks’ lifestyle which helps keep the mind and body healthy as well as being a peaceful and spiritual practice. Mindful exercise such as yoga has been seen widespread as a means to prevent stress. Yoga rooms have started to be introduced in airports as a way to encourage passengers to do exercise while they wait for their flights. Pressures to achieve can take a big toll on people and by introducing small ways in which people can take a moment out of their busy schedules to focus on their well-being could have a positive effect on mental health on the long run.

Influences are taken from buddhist monks’ clothing and the way they are constructed out of one piece of fabric and draped in such a manner that they are loose and breathable. Pleat details are important, especially around the waist, on sleeves and on trouser legs.

This trend looks at the future of harvesting and the growing popularity in knowing where your ingredients come from. Organic food has been a growing trend which provides people with the knowledge that the food they are consuming is the healthiest it can be. This trend of wanting to know where your food comes from could encourage people to get really invested in growing their own natural produce as well as something that can bring them together as a closer community in the process. A sense of togetherness is key in this trend, especially amongst women coming together and empowering each other for change. Historical references are made to land girls in world war II who took on men’s roles and revolutionised their societies’ views on what a woman’s place ought to be. Plantation farmers in the caribbean in the 1800s are influential, as who through a series of bad situations were brought together by working for the land and bringing prosperity.

MIMICKING NATURE TECHNOLOGY ELECTRIC URBAN LIVING MAN-MADE SYNTHETIC GREENERY

Nature, especially plants, can have a big impact on our day to day lives. A major focus in recent years has been on greenery in the home and in urban areas. IKEA has launched a new indoor gardening range, bringing hydroponics to a larger market, especially city dwellers. These help consumers grow their own plants indoors without any soil or sunlight. This may encourage more people to strive for a connection to nature no matter whether they live in the countryside or in the city. By replicating natural resources, we can make sure that they do not become extinct. The ‘Silk Leaf’, designed by Julian Melchiorri, explores the potential for creating photosynthetic materials aiming to bring the efficiency of nature into the man-made. Mimicking nature through technology to create sustainable solutions for an urban environment could mean that the most basic human needs such as oxygen could be produced even when resources are on the decrease.

Vibrant colours play a big part in making this trend feel slightly unnatural with the help of metallic silver which also adds to the idea of man-made versus nature. Deep purples and bottle green tones add depth to this overall lighthearted colour story.
