Abstract

As the first decade of the new millennium has come to the end, everyone is ready for something new to evolve; post credit crunch and time to explore the new era of Sci-Tribe. Sci-Tribe explores the boundaries between technology and the natural environment to create a diverse worldly take on beauty. Technology has become an issue both socially and culturally. It has affected the way in which the world is evolving; life has become a world obsessed with perfection. As perfectibility has become an essential everyone has started to forget about the biological world. In order to produce more we are having to throw away more. Sci-tribe combines cutting edge technology with eco-friendly connotations. It engrosses a futuristic slant and evolves dominating silhouettes, including a vibrant colour palette which highlights fearlessness and driven force. This up and coming trend is all about the youthful lady who is ready to embrace the world and move forward in a technical and innovative style without creating damage along the way.

Cyber-Tribe
“This trend explores the persistent stream of futuristic tribes, which is highlighted throughout with unconventional style.� Cyber tribe supports the idea that the living environment as a whole has the same right to live and flourish as any future creation has. This Spring/Summer trend is Bright, Bold and innovative. It has great community spirit, using traditional metamorphic tribal patterns and combining them with vivid JPEG generation colours. The latest 2012 spring/summer trend oozes in passion. It uses effortless and sustainable solutions, which are not over powered by ideology and artificial materials; the majority of clothing can be made using synthetic fibres. Cyber tribe balances the importance of the ecosystem with upcoming technology as both of these factors are currently having a huge impact on consumer decisions. The key pieces are rich in primitive patterns and primordial prints with strong textures and resourceful effects such as fraying and weaving. The full skirt and the embellished palazzo pant appear to be the main key pieces for this flourishing trend; both are a flattering and can be worn no matter what size or shape. They burst with colours which have been taken from the original cultural tribal fashion and intensified to produce the cyber-tribe colour palette. This transition represents the old and the new, which defines technology; a constant changing entity.

Virtual couture supports the idea of fictional idealism. With Avatar being released in 2010 it has had a huge impact on the future of technology and now it can be seen to have an impact on clothing. This trend is aimed at an innovative, contemporary market, it involves cutting edge style, with architecturally moulded shapes. It merges the real and virtual worlds together taking insight from architectures and interiors such as ‘future systems’. The inspiration can be seen in the Hourglass dress; one of the main key pieces. The clothes signify the time change from the present to the future; this represents the way in which we are living and how technology has transformed our emotions and actions in everyday life. The colour palette is strong and vibrant, using a surge of colours which would be associated with futuristic technology. Materials are layered one on top of the other to create a 2D/3D illusion. The clothing produces courageous, bold silhouettes which have high definition and morphasise the human body into an unknown identity.

Primo Futro 21
Primo Futro merges the ancient with the modern. It helps to advance the future by looking at old ideas from historical times. It mixes the prehistoric with a technical modern day aesthetic; Rough structures oppose the glow of polished surfaces to produce technologically primitive hybrids with base appeal. The clothes entail superior new shapes which explore the beginning of this design direction. The world is moving forward and transforming at a rapid speed therefore it is necessary to also take the time to reflect on how the world has revolutionised and how much it has transformed. Many consumers disagree with technology and believe that it is creating more pressure and aggravation than it is serving its duty. Primo Futro represents an intercultural world with raw fabrics which are open weaved or woven cut fringe trims; Patchwork and rustic off gauge combinations are a strong feature of this spring/summer 2012 trend. The colour palette represents a chronological period; including rural brown, rustic orange, supple beige and foggy green, all of which fuse together to produce a faultless combination. Step out of the new and into the old with this fashion surge trend, reinvent your daily life.

Faux Hedonism Faux Hedonism 29
Faux hedonism aims to fuse luxury with sustainability to create the perfect balance for the environment and all living creatures. Hedonism embodies the idea that things can be done by minimising pain and maximising the pleasure. This Spring Summer 2012 trend is all about reducing suffering and producing luxury. With consumers becoming more and more conscious about the environment, global warming and the life within in it, this trend is taking the consumer beliefs and processing them to produce the latest ‘must have’ fashion items. Faux stands for artificial; it is a word which is becoming more familiar as the population are becoming responsive to the debate over real fur. Faux hedonism replaces these destructive materials with enviromentally beneficial ones such as plastic. The collection includes sophisticated casual wear, with illusory depictions of the body. The materials used have a high definition aesthetic; including shiny plastic coating and melted bubble surfaces. The colour palette is bright and powerful, perfect for spring/summer; including ice mints, aqua blues, strong reds, cool pinks and deep greens. The key pieces are bold and cutting edge, with a silhouette which embraces the body shape. Faux Hedonism makes a statement; its all about being destinctive.
