DESIGNs for the AUTHENTIC trend fuse urban and casual styles with a focus on uniform-like details. A darkly sensual bohemian spirit lies at the heart of DUALISM, a trend that combines offbeat combinations with an irresistible sense of imbalance. The designs in REDUCTION are sharply disciplined and the look hinges on clever construction and highly-visual linear aspects.

This design issue is inspired by the CONCEPT & COLOUR Forecast for spring/summer 2016 and the three main trends: Screenage, Ecocide and Paradox.
