The Sunshine State provides the backdrop for this vibrant story, with bold, expressive graphics and a kitschy sense of fun.
TROPICAlKEYS
BIO-DYNAMIC: MIAMI SUNRISE
Early morning sunshine, lush greenery and bright citrus shades provide the energy for this fresh take on resort and vacation styling. Leisurely activities, between shopping and the beach, are styled and collaged with a glossy pop art approach to odd still lives and a strong sense of composition.
lUSH | VIBRANT | HIGH SUMMER
COURTSIDEBIO-DYNAMIC: MIAMI SUNRISE
Classic sportswear garments are cleaned up and recast as contemporary lifestyle pieces in vibrant retro pastels. A 1980s graphic approach to print and styling helps, driving the story with a level of self-referential irony that gives this look a cool, postmodern edge.
ClEANED UP | SPORTY | GRAPHIC
POP ART
BIO-DYNAMIC: MIAMI SUNRISE
The print and graphics in this story are colourful, dynamic and playful, with an almost crude naivety and a vibrant, handpainted feel. Simple, everyday wardrobe items provide the perfect canvas to express a Caribbean energy and joyfulness that celebrates life in colour.

CURATED KITSCH
BIO-DYNAMIC: MIAMI SUNRISE
Unapologetic, and not taking itself too seriously, this is still a considered approach to unexpected styling updates inspired by novelty collectables. Filtering the iconic part of kitsch references is the trick to avoiding bad taste and obvious nostalgia, yet keeping it familiar and fun.

Lab-grown finishes and intricate molecular patterns inspire a mesmerising direction for modern textiles.
NEO-ORGANIC
BIO-DYNAMIC: MATERIAl lAB
Complex patterns and fractal structures growing out of simple geometric shapes are driving this trend direction with a strong focus on textile construction and manipulation. They have a molecular organic feel between control and chaos that underpins their scientific, artificial appearance.
HYPER-GEOMETRIC | lAYERED | FRACTAl
CONTAMINATED COlOUR
BIO-DYNAMIC: MATERIAl lAB
A different laboratory approach to this story looks at prints and dye effects that appear to have originated in a petri dish. Patterns emerge naturally and incur unexpected colour contaminations yet always look clean and controlled, as if the process stopped at just the right point.
STAINED | ORGANIC | BRUSHED
ENGINEERED GRIDS
BIO-DYNAMIC: MATERIAl lAB
Warped and engineered grid patterns inspire multifaceted weave-and-knit constructions that are pulled apart, distorted or twisted. Sporty, linear structures attain a feeling of elegant fluidity and can be layered to create decorative, lace-like designs.
WOVEN | WARPED | DECORATED
WAVE THEORY
BIO-DYNAMIC: MATERIAl lAB
A scientific fascination with fluid form looks at the textural and sculptural potential of wave patterns. Woven sine-wave ripple effects and modulated colour gradients find their way into pleats, ruffles and even shibori-like surface manipulations and intricately sculpted garments.

A creative, distinctively urban story that blends sports, denim and street art influences in a fresh and confident look with a youthful underground edge.
CONCRETE GAllERY
BIO-DYNAMIC: URBAN CANVAS
Urban textures and the backdrop of mural graphic art inspires a cleaned-up streetwear and workwear story. Essential casual items provide a frame and canvas for bold graphics and expressive paint applications. Detailing is pared back, allowing silhouettes to retain an understated modern utility feel.
ElEMENTARY | URBAN | ARTISTIC
TEAM INDIGO
Sports influences and graphic varsity details are projected into a denim and workwear context to form fresh contrasts and filtered colour-blocking. Garment washes mimicking concrete textures combine with oxidised finishes to create a look that feels aged but modern, without obvious heritage references.

BlAST PATTERN
A graphic power surge fuels this raw and energetic approach to print and pattern, which is applied to anything from photo prints, to camouflage. The look is grainy and high-contrast, reminiscent of early photocopies, and layered up with boldly coloured graphics and chaotic pattern accumulations.
CHAOTIC | DENSE | lAYERED
WET PAINT
BIO-DYNAMIC: URBAN CANVAS
The physicality of freshly applied paint and the textural appeal of brush strokes, daubs and splashes inspires surface finishes and artful customisations for both textiles and garments. Colour blends take on a life of their own in swirls of glossy shades, underpinning a sense of limited control and artful originality.
