The next future trend that I will be looking into, is Knit and Jersey. Then from my research of both this trend and the denim future trend, I will be able to complete my trend boards allowing me to use these resources to finalise my ideas for my photoshoot.
Knit and Jersey, is a staple in the current autumn/winter wardrobe. It really always has been and always will be. It’s comfortable, stylish, cosy and warm when the winter months hit. The only thing about it is, it never really changes. To some this works, but others prefer a change in their style. It’s a classic piece, but for the Autumn/Winter trend for 2021/2022, it seems that is will be vamped up a notch! The future trend, claims it will have more of a darker theme to it, due to rising anxiety that is caused by “social and environmental uncertainty.” Themes such as horror films will inspire this trend, alongside Alexander mcQueen and the photographer Tim Walker. It will almost “update historical themes”, and work its way towards creating 3D textures, creating more simple and dramatic silhouettes for a more sophisticated look. They will also work their way towards cutting waist with new technology. It will be digital software that will reduce waste and create a more sustainable solution. Different materials will be used for the clothing, more of a sustainable option being introduced. Instead of generic wool being used, materials such as, Sorona recycled polyester and bio-based Lycra, which are better for the environment.
A few of the new clothing items/fabrics that are being predicted for this future trend are, Shadowed Mesh, for clothing items such as Out ware jackets, dressed and roll necks. Sultry lace, for evening ware dresses, mock neck tops, skirts and cardigans and iridescent reflections, used to make heavy and fine gauge sweaters, dresses, jackets and tops.
