Urban Influx In a busy & hectic lifestyle, European consumers are beginning to take relaxation and leisure time more seriously, as a result of this, colour reflects a shift in attitude for A/W 19/20. I would like to challenge the idea of movement that consumers have in relation with the need to travel from Point A to Point B without reconsideration. Challenge the idea of how much bright colours young male can wear and also creating consumer awareness about alternative accessible sustainable clothing.
