Joel S Dickens

 

One of my trend prediction is for childlike prints. It has been seen recently by Dolce and Gabbana during their Mana and Me runway show and Topshop has created a 'toyshop' dress. The idea behind it shows a sweet naive print on classic garments.

                              

The Australian artist Joel S Dickens has a very 'childlike' slant to his work. Even though his work is quite political and all of his work has very strong messages behind them the images themselves have a very childlike quality to them.

Trend Prediction SS16: Release your inner child!

The recent Dolce & Gabanna, Mama and Me show showcased not only child models and pregnant ladies but also child like prints! What looked like cute drawings done by a child adorned many a dress! This was also seen done by Angelina Jolie on her recent wedding dress, which had designs created by her children all over it!

This trend of childlike prints is just another step forward from primary colours and hand drawn prints! How amazing to have an outfit covered in images created by your little one?

Trend Prediction SS16: Folk - European Folk, Amsterdam

Now as we all know Amsterdam is a must go weekend break destination at the moment! More with a younger generation for a weekend of fun with their much more relaxed rules. However the Netherlands are full of tradition and of course major 'Folk' inspirations!

The traditional dress from this part of the world encapsulates all that is inspiring me for this trend. Bright bold colours, amazing patterns and a smattering of florals. The architecture also reflects this with amazing coloured buildings.

This is a my inspiration mood board from Amsterdam.

Trend Prediction SS1: Folk Interiors

With shabby chic still a mass produced and purchased trend, Folk inspiration takes it to the next level! And with minimalist making way for warmer themes this trend is the perfect next step,with its rustic feel yet bright amazing colours and prints. This is going to be a massive trend of the future!

Trend Prediction SS16: Folk Fashion

I have been searching through this years trends to see if I can spot what might be big next year. Now something that keeps hitting me is the small element of 'Folk' inspiration I keep seeing within this years 70's Boho trend. The traditional Folk influence can be seen in embroidery, bold colours also in a way the florals that are huge this season.

Here is the first of many mood boards for things I have found for this trend.
