FASHION FORECAST
SPRING/SUMMER 2014
Next Nature celebrates the visual exuberance and lush organic appeal of the wild, looking at how plant life informs shape, surface and graphics. Dark couture-like creations borrow fluid forms and overgrown embellishments from flowers and foliage, as tropical eveningwear - defined by its phosphorescent colours and intense patterns - emerges from a midnight jungle. Party energy carries over into exotic florals and carefree beach styling. Botanical prints, mottled finishes and a humble yet refined casualwear mood reflect the relaxed quality of urban gardens.
