Emerging Textiles and Colors for Fall/Winter 2020
Some upcoming trends in color for Fall/Winter of 2020 include more usage of artificial bright colors and designs that incorporate an analogous color relationship. Patterns that have a trippy effect such as melted designs and unique florals are also a projected trend for next Fall/Winter. A recent development that is likely to impact activewear is the concept and design of geometric body mapping. In this concept there is a base layer of fabric that is flexible and then there is another kitted layer designed to give you improved performance and muscle support.
Trends aligned with my Culture
One trend that is aligned with my culture would be would be the increased usage of bright artificial colors. Bold colors like reds and greens are ingrained in Bali’s cultural and traditional apparel. I would incorporate this trend by having my prints and patterns done in eye-catching hues. Another Fall/Winter 2020 trend that aligns with my culture would be creating new exciting looks by using mixed textures. The dresses of traditional Balinese women often times have many different elements including: intricate beading, metallic headdresses, and occasionally fringe. I would incorporate this by using more mixed media in my designs. My last activewear trend would be the geometric body mapping. There are many facets of Bali’s culture in which geometrics are involved including their architecture and ceremonial clothing. I plan to compose my prints primarily of geometrics, so they relate more to my culture
