Urban Regeneration Spring & Summer Trends
As we are entering a new age driven by the power of technology, politics and science the decisions we make and what we choose to buy can be affected by these factors. Also however with the emerging social mood or engagement, emotions and nostalgia are creating a renaissance. Customers are searching for more meaning and a sense of familiarity in the things they purchase. The city man is about being modern and embracing technology to go forward he also has real emotions towards how he looks and likes to go back to his roots and reconsider the approach to creating newness. Revisiting the skills, crafts and techniques of the past and combining them with the technical innovations of the present combines every emotion the city man is going to feel towards his new 2012 wardrobe. The whole idea is to find harmony between yesterday and today.

Spring & Summer Trends
This trend emphasises the build up, the journey and the space around us coming up with new individual key pieces that will last a lifetime. It follows the idea of being able to pass garments on through generation therefore giving them more personal meaning. The dates of disposable fashion are gradually fading and casual looks are taking a back seat. It’s now the time for people to tell stories through their clothing and create journeys.

The word on the street is that the younger man wants to create a sophisticated gentlemen’s look, tailoring and craftsmanship are the key elements that will shine through. Taking inspiration from two generations back and looking into the life of their Grandpa. Due to the recent financial difficulties men want consistent value in their clothing and garments that are characterised by quality, longevity, sustainability and significance. Key pieces being tweed blazers broke down brogues and beat up briefcases. This trend also follows in line with recycling and recovering of goods resulting in an all round great trend that is shore to take off.

A Modern Structure Spring & Summer Trends
A modern structure celebrates the innovative and creation of new architectural design through the means of fashion garments and clothing. It seems that more and more imaginative architecture is been constructed all over the world creating beautiful skylines and original art pieces. The biggest inspiration came from Dubai’s up and coming city creation, from the outlines of the buildings all the way to the perpendicular patterns on the window structures. Also looking at architecture in the big cities, New York, Japan and Shanghai. For the architectural trend, fabrics are used to create both hard and round lines to come out with oversize proportions, exaggerated angles and swooshy layers. The key is to display strong silhouettes with the emphasis being on structure shape and form, this can be done through major pleats, folds, layering and surface texture. These architectural designs are transformed into the clothing through lines, texture, geometrical patterns and structure. So in Spring/Summer 2012 expect to be seeing graphical prints, line print patterns, intense technical cuts and fresh new colour palettes.

3D television is at the front line of technology at the moment and is the main inspiration for this trend. Taking ideas from the three dimensional graphics into patterned clothing producing cutting edge individual garments. The geek glasses will be substituted with 3D glasses so the patterns created on the clothing can be seen three dimensionally. Three dimensional fashion photography would also look great screen printed onto T-shirts. The inspiration will come from out of space, technic visions. This fashion fury is going to keep up with the trend of 3D televisions being in people’s homes and making it all about the glasses being the next key trend not only to see what’s on the screens but being able to see cool furnistic, inventive patterns on peoples clothing. So expect to be seeing new inventive patterns, a bright colour palette and ingenious 3D glasses in different shapes colour and sizes.

Armoury Spring & Summer Trends
Post recession the armoury trend offers men structured garments made from recycled metals, plastics, fabrics and other sustainable materials to embrace a mans physical shape. Styles based on the durable and dependable. Man on the street wants to have an enhanced feeling of masculinity and experience an escape from the every day working lifestyle. This trend takes inspiration from century armour as well as modern design from films such as Transformers. Detail such as metal chaining and embellishment are used on shoulders neck and chest areas giving the new trend dramatic effects and garment detailing. Expect to be seeing garments, which have, shoulder padding and muscular built filling, as well as actual made armour body pieces. Its theatre meets fashion. The armour style clothing is going to be a driven trend for spring/summer 2012 as the military look keeps modifying and transforming inspiration coming from German officer over coats from the second world war to the metal chain mail suits that were worn under suits of armour. Movies were a heavy influence for this trend with features for shoulder decoration as inspiration from The Crow including gothic ripped trousers, black boots and metallic body combat suits. The city man is going to love the attention to detail and the creativity he can generate with this trend.
