EMBRACE / ESCAPE

Two seemingly opposing, but in current times very much interconnected macro trends. Embrace. Hold on to everything you hold dear. To everything that is important. Love, cherish, self-reflect. But escape. Escape to a better place, better times, to a possibility of a better future.
Go outside. Have an adventure. Dream.

This duality is a reflection on how our society copes with the reality of today. A reflection that has a large echo in fashion this Fall/Winter season. Trends that could not have sprouted from two more opposing mindsets, while at the same time being so intertwined. In addition to ‘embrace’ and ‘escape’ as macro trends, we propose six daughter trends, showcasing everything fashion stands for this season: Cozy comfort – Conscious consumerism – Fluidity – Unbridled optimism – Earthly freedom – Everyday luxuries.
