thesis... Spring/Summer ‘18 will be a season of collectionism.The consumer’s focus will be internal, as they reflect on themselves and their wants and needs. They will aim to have a well curated mix both in their wardrobe and their home. Plurality will come into play as they grow their collections. The composition of our spaces will be carefully designed and arranged. We will encourage ourselves to think about our time carefully. We will make strong efforts not to overconsume, but will invest in what matters. Elements from the outdoors and interior will give rise to an unprocessed and natural way of living. We will celebrate this peacefulness and create our own distinctive conglomerations...
assortment... noun. a miscellaneous collection of things or people.
This look will not be discernible. Eclectic patterns will breed creativity and infuse our lives with a varied perspective. A multitude of bright shades will flow against light pink and pale grey. Our minds will be freed as we embrace this spirited but mellow way of life.

This time will be all about embracing the unusual. Our habits will be broken. The element of surprise will come into play. Misty green and ethereal shades of pink will intertwine and create an unparalleled combination. New attitudes will be projected by layering and embellishment.
