Spring Summer 2019 Key Catwalk Theme Direction
Trendstop brings FashionUnited readers an insider’s guide to an
essential theme running throughout the Spring Summer 2019 catwalk
collections.
The Trendstop team give FashionUnited readers an exclusive look at one
of the overriding trend influences inspiring so many of the designer
collections hitting the Spring Summer 2019 international runways. From New
York and London to Milan and Paris, global travel was the defining theme of
the season as apparel, accessories and footwear channeled a mood of
adventure and escapism to far-flung destinations. Trendstop bring three
aspects of this crucial theme together to inspire your collections into
SS19 and beyond. Our comprehensive Catwalk Overviews and accompanying
catwalk galleries, evaluate each trend’s commercial value and longevity,
giving you the best possible basis for your decision making.
This week Trendstop present three facets of the travel trend. Summer
Expedition charts the development of outdoor sportswear-infused fashion,
taking it from winter to summer. Desert Cargo looks to remote, desolate
landscapes, evoking a scorched-earth feel through colour and texture.
Artisan Wanderer takes inspiration from the arts and crafts of nomadic
cultures, bringing a tactile appeal to apparel and accessories
construction.
Summer Expedition
Developing from last winter’s extreme sports influences, Summer
Expedition explores an outdoor mood through lighter and brightened tech.
Casual feminine silhouettes utilise technical fabrics and subtle outdoor
details for a flyweight practical mood.

Desert Cargo
Barren desert landscapes inspire blanched surfaces, loose, flowing
silhouettes and a heated colour palette to update classic cargo styles.
Refined, minimalist detailing cleans up utilitarian influences, fusing
practicality with a fresh, feminine elegance.

Artisan Wanderer
The desert wanderer draws on artisanal crafts for a highly tactile,
hand-crafted aesthetic. Unfinished, asymmetric silhouettes and raw-edged
knits are embroidered with trinkets for a haphazard, rustic finish. Twisted
rope and cord ties are a key fabrication and fastening detail for both
apparel and accessories.
