Trend
Energy and power are already proving difficulties concerning usage and costs. SS15’s fashion forecast Power Trippin’ demonstrates the interaction of the fusion of power and energy. Generation of energy through fusion is the new future power source. A combination of power is used to combat power shortages of the future. Future fuels are to be devised from a fusion of power. Power isn’t a physical object but an image and impression creating illusions. Voltage of colour expands through waves of pattern to create an abstract explosion of prints. These powerful statement prints generate future fashions. Women crave to portray an omnipotence status through the wearing of these powerful fashions. Luxurious materials including satin and silks are used to show the power and high importance and authority. The fabrics allow light to reflect and boast power.
