YOU are the one who choses what to wear, instead of stigmatized categories telling you what to follow. A trend-forecasting alternative where apparel becomes what people can identify with whether that’s in selfimage, gender identity or simply just the aesthetic of the trend.

nce upon a time an adventurous and reckless person living in the heart of Paris had just recently broken up with her girlfriend. The only person that understood his dark humor jokes and could tolerate your jumpy moods and insanely fast motorcycle rides has turned his heart back into stone and darker than ever.
Yet, he is too proud to admit his sadness by putting on his black leather jacket, and punky platform leather boots and decides to escape his feelings. He hops on his BMW shiny black motorcycle at 6pm driving faster than ever. The cold autumn breeze blows his tears away around the city’s most narrowed streets. He then feels this dark powerful energy that has suddenly puts a wry smile on his face.
This is dramatic scene is just how much of a romantic feel this A/W transseasonal trend is. Consider this the renaissance of gothic “masculinity”, where it meets the rebel cold hearted biker inside of you, but instead of a Harley Davidson it’s a slick modern BMW motorcycle. Minimal but key pieces like a classic tailored-fitting biker leather jacket will be accompanied with gothic embroidered patches designs & emellishments. To compliment, a utility vest will resonate as an outerwear at the beginning of the season to give a futuristic luxury edge.

Accessories like leather belts, shoes, statement jewelry pieces and bags will help reflect the Biker-Gothic more in depth. Giant tire-like platform soles for footwear will not only be the feminine touch of this trend, but it’s an accentuated innovative way to represent the biker aesthetic of this trend.
Chunky chains will become chunkier than ever before, and we will be seeing them on curbed, snake and Figaro chains to name a few.
These will be reflected on necklaces, but most importantly bigger and bolder metal straps bolder for bags This new decade will influence more men into purchasing these stylish bags that once were too feminine for men to put their hands on.

Shopping for jeans just got a lot easier. A novelty for loose, extra loose and straight-fit jeans are becoming a standard for both men and women. They remind us of a pre-skinny golden age when denim was thick, stretchfree and more of a statement than just an off-duty staple.
Think Farrah Fawcett on that skateboard, Thelma and Louise mid-road trip, or any early2000’s movie. What matters really is an retro reference where jeans weren’t supposed to be hugging your legs.

In recent years, we've seen popular jeans styles typified by a true straight leg, loose fit and often boyfriend jeans being the easy departure from the skinny jean. But slimmer styles can maintain our re-awakened love for true denim with split hem flares. A slight bootcut at the hem to add interest to straight-cut fits, or to show off statement footwear. These are the jeans style that allows a slimmer look without creating carrots out of your legs with elasticated fabrics.
