URBAN ODDITY AUTUMN/WINTER 16/17 BABY/TODDLER GIRLS
TREND DIRECTION
MOOD
In this trend we take a look at the humourous side of life, drawing inspiration from childrens’ playtimes and the thrown together individuality of urban street style. Bold circus themes and 1990s prints add to the kitsch, quirky feel.

MONOCHROME
Unexpected colour pairings work together for a fun yet sophistacted look. Psychadelic shine throws back to the 1970s-90s music scenes, while geometric monochrome patterns clash with bold brights.

90s HIP HOP
The 90s hip hop scene lends its influence to bright and bold all over prints; often geometrical or with squiggly lines. Colours are either saturated brights or sporty pastels.
PLUS AND MINUS
The swiss cross or plus symbol appears as a bold repeat, or as a humourous placement with the minus sign. Monochrome and primary colours are popular, as well textured backgrounds.
COOL CAT
Cat graphics appear in a range of variations; as bold cutout style prints, cosmic digital effects, and naive AOPs and placements.
GEOMETRICS
Colourblocked geometics add to the 90s vibe, with heavy black outlines on some prints adding a modern feel.
MEMPHIS MIX
Memphis squiggles appear in a range of colours and sizes; as bold defined lines, or as hand drawn style brushstrokes. Candy colours give a ‘hundreds and thousands’ look.
EYE SEE YOU!
Once again, we draw inspiration from 90s street style by focussing on the eye icon. This can appear humourously winking, handdrawn in bold lines, or stylized in soft neons.
BIG TOP
Circus themes appear as teardrop and star AOPs, circus animal placements and exaggerated typography.
PAINTED COLOUR
Colour appears washed, painted, potato printed and splattered for a truly DIY unique feel.
BRIGHT AND QUIRKY
Stripes, checks, slogans, spots, chevrons, teardrops - you name it! They all appear in bright colours in a playful fashion creating a quirky feel.
SHINE ON
Sequins, glitter and gemstones add to the playful feel by appearing in bright colours or shiny gold.
