PAUSE women - A pause to appreciate time. The time it takes to source sustainably, the time to create better designs and time to care for the end product.

There will be a renewed focus on materials and solving issues of sustainability and scarcity. An emphasis on creating designs which are cherished over time, and for this designers will look to the past for inspiration.

SHIFT men - Fashion is experiencing a shift towards minimalist design. A shifting perspective that buying less and better could be the way forward.

Soft-touch fabrics connect to a home environment and reflect the desire to surround the body in comfort. Padded and bonded materials offer insulation and protection against the elements.

CONTRACT youth - The current climate is driving narratives and pushing product towards sustainable sourcing and low-impact production.

A rebellious spirit runs through clothing and accessories. Styles are embellished with repaired patches, visible mending and crafted decoration. Respond to the call for authenticity with unique styles and no-waste production.
