FASHION FORECAST
SPRING/SUMMER 2014
Rugged elements and the ancient outdoors form the central vein of inspiration running through Neo-Geo as it explores ideas of refinement and reconstruction in an unforgiving environment. An unearthed rusticity combines with archaeological treasures to create a luxury update through rich oxidised finishes and dusty metallic coatings. A tactile elegance is developed through rough fabric constructions, airy tailoring and ethnic pattern influences. Inorganic man-made plastics are reused as raw materials for rough functional sportswear and recycled fabrics and elevated technical details.
