2. Reimagining Fashion Trends at FW20
Genderless Street Style
This season, many of the world’s top fashion designers have been pushing the envelope in terms of gender-bending and genderless fashion displays on the runways. The androgynous and genderless looks were refreshing and popular, showing that sometimes it’s more important to be authentic and wear clothes that fit your individual style, whatever that style may be. From oversized coats to wide-leg trousers, no one was limited in their fashion choices at FW20.
Upcycling Couture
One exciting trend that has been gaining a lot of traction this season is upcycling. Designers have been taking pre-existing clothing items and breathing life into them with a modern twist. Upcycling often involves pieces that were never intended to be considered fashionable but that can be surprisingly fashionable in the right hands. At FW20, there were several examples of upcycling designs – from glamorous evening gowns made from discarded scrap cloth to recycled denim jackets embellished with pearls.
Art Meets Function
- Clothes as art are becoming increasingly popular, and fashion designers are taking it one step further this season by combining art with functionality.
- Functionality is key in fashion this year, with designers finding unique ways to make clothing items practical and wearable in any situation.
- One example of this trend is the vest designed with its own internal pockets and straps for carrying everything needed for a day out.
- Not only is this vest stylish and comfortable, it also helps to ease the burden of lugging those heavy bags around with you.
There was a lot of creativity on show at FW20, with designers creating new trends and re-imagining fashion in exciting ways. From genderless street style to upcycling couture designs, to art meets function, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
3. Colors and Textures of the Runway
Colors abound this season, from hot neons to soft and soothing pastels. Bold blocks of color are seen in sharp cuts from the runways of the world, with oranges, pinks, blues, and yellows taking the lead. Patterns emerged this season with designers playing with two-tones, creating geometric and ornamental mixed with black and white base colors.
And of course, an array of textures were presented by the fashion world. Voluminous skirts, structured pant sets, chunky knits and fringe embellishments made their way down the catwalks this season as well. Fabrics such as velvet, velour, sheer and faux fur added layers of dramatic and luxury elements to the collections.
The combinations of these were amazing – think sequins on a velour coat, fringe on leather pants, or a bright metallic paired with a bold pop of velvet. It was a feast for the eyes and illustrated an abundance of options for the fashion-forward, daring dressers. Some of the standout looks included:
- Embroidered Bomber Jackets
- Sequined Ankle Boots
- Faux Fur-trimmed Dresses
- Metallic Raglan Sleeved Blazers
4. A Celebration of Inventive Designers
Creativity is at the forefront of modern interior design. From materials to inspiration, inventors have been a driving force for change and advancement in the home’s classic style. Celebrating these forward-thinking designers is a must in the modern home improvement world.
Creative Collaborations – Many designers are teaming up with inventors to develop new technologies, techniques, and materials.

From a biodesign lab growing vine-like structures to 3D printing allowing custom pieces to be crafted in just a few hours, to unusual materials like sea glass and recycled wood. There’s no limit to what these inventive designers can create.
