CONSCIOUS MIND The season begins with an earthy color palette that correlates with a mindfulness of one's surroundings. We'll welcome lessons on sustainability and environmental values. Colors and materials in this category are also weathered and earth-bound.

FABRICS / FIBERS & TRIMS/ ACCESSORIES
Interest in organic and sustainable materials will see a great movement between vegan leather and eco-friendly cellolosic fibers enhancing more sound alternatives for the conscious minds. Undyed, natural trims create a serene mood with artisanal woven and braided constructions. Â These embellishments deal with the pure physicality of natural matter, from bio-formations to abstract renderings.

TRUE
FORM
A concept that dismisses the conceived notion of perfection, True Forms is all about transparency. Accepting and appreciating the flaws that makes us truly one-of-akind. Such authenticity inspired a collection of soft, almost translucent hues, transparent fabrics and products.

FABRICS / FIBERS & TRIMS/ ACCESSORIES
Just as transparent as our form of living, fabrics, too, are exposed and kept at a minimum to veil what's underneath. Lighter weight fabrics like linen, muslin and chiffon will be favorable this season for their semi-translucent qualities. This season's trims feature a line up of simple embellishments. Lucite buttons and transparent zippers will be exposed to reveal the underpinnings of products and styles.

UNAPOLOGETIC A level of authenticity extends and reaches the pit of our minds and attitude. We think on our own and don't apologize to those who don't see eye-to-eye. This cool and hip mindset will be translated through unapologetically bold colors and fabrics, and merchandise that'll make you do a a double take.

FABRICS / FIBERS & TRIMS & ACCESSORIES Bold and hard-to-miss fabrics are the center of attention this season. Multi-colored textiles and unexpected materials like that of plastic will make a cameo during a time of unapologetic wonder. This season welcomes an array of colorful and bold trims. Neon accents, wordplay, and expressive lines that ultimately embody our newfound eccentric attitudes.

DIRECTIONAL Directional encompasses the path less traveled upon. Here, consumers will be driven to try new things, extending themselves to new territories-reaching new lengths. Colors are not as saturated as the color story before, however remnants of vibrant hues are still present.Â

FABRICS / FIBERS & TRIMS & ACCESSORIES Denim, linen lined tweed, indigo, raised herringbone are all a part of a design that demonstrates line and direction. This movement of fabric illustrates the straight path to journey and exploration to new grounds. Much like our fabrics, our trims for this season create a sense of travel and exploration. Our eyes make the rounds through exposed pleats, patched denim and manipulated ruffles.Â

VOLUBLE Silence is no longer an option. This season turns the volume up on expression. We become more vocal and opinionated and don't shy away from the real issues of our surroundings. As an extension to our expression, we look towards bold and vibrant typography to help speak our minds.Â

Fabrics are quite mute in comparison to what'll be applied in featured trims. Jersey, mesh, true denim and soft cottons will be the canvas for this season's bold typography, To embellish such an outspoken theme, words and phrases will be printed, stitched, and applied to our products to further communicate what's not been said yet.Â
