WGSN Research

Spring/Summer '15 Design Inspiration
 
By the WGSN Accessories Team, 20 August 2013
Formal silhouettes are punctuated by kinetic colour while classic shapes are subtly engineered to embody a modern femininity, inspired by WGSN's Focus Macro Trend.
Clutch and handheld bags are carefully tailored and neatly compact while embellishments take a back seat as gradient surface colour is made a feature of. A soft, sculpted volume is embraced in contrast to more ridged structures within the collection. Colour is screened, distorted and developed within the pieces.

Casualwear has a carefree romance with a youthful and playful look. Relaxed shapes bring a fresh urban attitude with a hint of homely nostalgia, in line with WGSN's Focus Macro Trend featured in the spring/summer 2015 Fashion Forecast.
Faded cottons and denims are worn back with washed jerseys, while waisted lightweight cotton dresses add to the romance of the poetic mood. Utility detailing and outdoor garments bring a fresh, young feel to the classic British country look. Subtly altered floral prints are used as graphics on tee-shirts, sweatshirts and denims.
