Egyptian Pl ay The vibrant colours and patterns have evolved through the enriched anceint history of Egypt, standing out to be one of the most prominent visually striking cultural civilisations. Colour being an integral part of the substance and being of everything in life within the culture, creates an inspired bold and refereshing trend. The use of traditional optimistic patterns and prints of flaboyant blues, burnt dusky oranges and deep reds mixed with gold add depth and luxury, which weave between each other and create a energetic playful take on tradional egyptian style.

Won’t Wash Looking at ‘Urban Visuals’, Won’t Wash is not only inspired by the way the urban environment really is, how it has developed, distressed, and degraded in fascinating ways, but the way urban artists have responded to this environment and recreated elements to produce new art. This urban inspired trend takes on a new sophisticated vision to traditonal street wear, with a contempory casual approach yet with an edgy athletic vibe emerging through. Slightly faded and worn out, from cool light mints and greys to deep rustic oranges and muddy browns emphasize an organic natural mood. Moss-covering and rusted metal inspire to create raw textures with eroded, weathered and frozen qualities. Fig.55
