Trend : Escapism through fantasy. Faced with a turbulent political climate, the natural response is to ‘escape’.This trend is based on removing oneself from reality through surrealism and play. It depicts a whimsical, dream like aesthetic that draws upon childlike elements of play. Think clothing that completely contradicts the contours of the body, unconventional fabrics and bold colours. The colours I have chosen for this trend while some are bright, they are all harmonious. I didn’t want them to be too intense, but rather to subtly imply playfulness and surrealism through a calming dream like aesthetic. The bold colours solidify the element of ‘play’.
