FASHION FORECAST
SPRING/SUMMER 2014
The evolving impact of online culture on design is mirrored in the pixelated minimalism, synthetic effects, and beautifully twisted concepts of N.D.A. A sharp preppy approach to lo-fi digital ideas creates clean lines, inlaid constructions and composite colour arrangements - in stark contrast to dreamlike blurred sheers, fade-out stripes and ombrĂŠ treatments. Sartorial quirks merge with profile updates for a strangely personal way to disrupt high-fashion looks. Plastic fantasies drive an unreal, cartoon-like direction of playful prints and styling.
