These emerging trends are developed through further analysis, as our experts curate inspirational seasonal reports and evaluate each individual trends commercial value as well as their longevity over the coming seasons.

This week, FashionUnited readers get an exclusive insight into three essential womenswear directions first identified in Trendstop's SS17 Macro Themes Forecast , that are now impacting the designer collections. Red Brick and Rich Denim Ink introduce new depth to the Spring Summer palette with rich, saturated tones. Ice cream colours express a fresh sophistication as Vanilla Cream brings a subtle femininity to clean utility looks.

Art Gallery Athletics

Sports infused looks are refined for SS17 with a clean, minimalist aesthetic. Modern art and architecture inspires apparel that play structure and volume while a palette of fresh white and cool concrete tones are accented with athletic brights and primary pops of colour.

Calculated Craft

Modern ethnic influences inform print pattern and texture for a contemporary take on handcrafting. Loose and longline silhouettes have a sporty undertone, highlighted by bold bands of colour. Chunky knits, thick multicoloured weaves and statement fringe illustrate the tribal aspect of the trend.

Nomad Purity

Puritan dressing is the inspiration behind roomy silhouettes with a modern simplicity, for a look that fuses peasant chic and traditional workwear with a minimalist aesthetic. Crisp white and linen shades are warmed by blush tones while ultra-clean executions are softened by natural fibres and subtle handcrafted detailing.

Eastern Minimalism

Womenswear looks East as organic forms and origami details bring an Asian inspired serenity to apparel silhouettes. Belted styles place emphasis on the waist in traditional Japanese style while a muted yet feminine pallete and minimal detailing compliment the calming, pared back aesthetic.
