12. The message of this theme is to give the consumer a look into future. The theme
allows younger generations to adopt new innovations in technology and clothing. The
target market is young, confident, women looking to express their own power,
strength, and personality through this trend. These women are innovators and
influencers who are not afraid to venture outside their comfort zone and are wiling to
take a leap in the future of fashion. The theme explores the use of geometric shapes
and structural lines as well as 3d printing. Unique and iridescent materials such as
plastic, metallic leather, and gold and silver finishings paired with bold blues, pastel
and vibrant pinks, as well acid greens give the theme an out of this world appeal.
14. Narrative
In a galaxy far, far away…where technology has become one with fashion, my world
is in constant motion. Where fashion never slows down, it is only appropriate that my
style follows. My style is unlike any you have ever seen in your time; resembling the
beautiful strong structured skyscrapers that float the streets I call home. Colors
matching the intergalactic atmosphere are embraced in my apparel. With a style that
is truly out this world, I embrace my own unique alien within and allow my inner light
to shine through the clothing. Where everything shines and sparkles, join me on a
journey through time and space. Embrace your inner cosmic side and become a
fashionista from infinity and beyond.
15. Descriptive
The Futuristic theme of our forecast was sparked by multiple innovative technologies
as well as new explorations from NASA, the new star wars movie that is coming out
this December and street and runway styles referencing space and the future. The
new innovative technologies we discovered were the use of 3D printing of fabrics as
well as holographics and luminescent lights being used on runway fashion. Then with
the new exploration of Mars by NASA that recently happened along with the new Star
Wars movie being released soon, both have led to futuristic and space related
inspiration on some runway and street styles and have even transferred into other
areas such as house décor and art.

accessories, architecture, home décor and art as well as a
section for textures, materials, and color swatches. Then we
will add only the kept images from our research under the
appropriate sections to help explain our forecast in the best
way as well as include the title and taglines for our forecast to
help express the mood of our overall forecast.
