Motion Childrens Lifestyle

Autumn/Winter 16/17

Introduction

Motion is a dedication to all forms of water, inspired by the popular focus on the Rio Olympics and future film releases. The Favelas of Rio drive the colour palette and the direction in which children’s lifestyle is heading. Designers are taking a stand against the norm and doing something different and exciting much like the locals that inhibit these Favelas.

Motion highlights the need to develop children’s personalities, bringing there wants and needs into focus. Juxtapositions of the parents’ style to their children’s combine to create bespoke pieces. The feeling of swimming in the ocean lends itself to imagination and escapism for the younger generation.

Timeless classics will be created by the use of bold illustrative designs with bright accents of colour, creating stories that are focused around water and its variety of habitats.

Autu mn/Winter 16-17 sees the start of something new, as if the old is getting washed away to make way for this new revolution of design.
