While i was on WGSN, i came across 'Slow Futures' which is a predicted trend for S/S18. Its going to be a very popular trend within fashion, lifestyle, hair and makeup.
''Is “slow futures” a shift from the super high tech athleisure looks we’ve been seeing? Actually, athletic clothing is going to get even more high-tech, and the innovations there will filter into the fashion realm, and the world of design in general. Design and technology are becoming more seamless, and thanks to projects like Google’s Project Jacquard we will soon have clothes with technology woven into the textiles, giving us constant information about our health and performance, as well as an interactive surface with which to connect with others.''

It is a very minimal trend, however with luxurious items of clothing. High tech aspects are also included which creates a very futuristic and innovative trend that is going to be massive. One part of this trend 'Mercury Rising' that visually looks like space, this is very futuristic with the use of metallics, silvers and metals.
Raw Minimalism is a very clean, neutral trend with raw edges- such as frayed edges, rips and unique textures. This trend has been around for a couple of years, as it is very similar to Kayne West brand 'YEEZY' which is very popular for both genders and all ages.
''The meat of the matter, of course, is the clothes and the accessories, and as for them, the Yeezy look remains consistent, based on surplus basics, knits of many kinds, and, certainly, the smash-hit sneakers. As he said in a Vogue.com interview before the show, “I want to make pieces that can be timeless.” Where the look of Season 4 did evolve was in the color palette. The show cycled through whites to blacks, with a concentration on pale colors that looked bleached or sun-faded.''

Overall this trend as a whole has been influenced by different artists such as
Clara Daguin- from mixing technolgy with fashion
Oma- from his futuristic resort
Ms Min- from there modern clothing
Kaman Yoo Hye jin- from there minimalistic yet busy designs
i want to create some trend boards inspired by this trend which i will post about soon. Thank you for reading.
