This week, Trendstop present the three important themes to transcend fashion and design. Frozen In Time captures feelings of calm and contemplation with a more mindful take on the minimalist lifestyle. East Meets Eco fuses eastern influences with the natural world and sustainable living while Enhanced Everyday elevates the workaday wardrobe to high design status.

Frozen In Time

Design looks to forge a closer link with consciousness. Feelings of stillness and calm are underpined by the gentle minimalist aesthetics seen at Tibi and J. JS Lee. Clean lines, floating silhouettes and contemporary forms mirror the look of Nendo's submerged transparent silicon Jellyfish Vases. Contemplation and mindfulness inspire the Cos x Studio Swine collaboration as the fashion retailer showcases a multi-sensory installation that refocuses the mind in times of change.

East Meets Eco

Natural materials and traditional crafts from around the globe come together for Fall. Landscapes are the inspiration for the subtle textural patterns at Peter Pilotto and Shigeru Uchida's bamboo and chestnut wood pieces made using Japanese joinery. Pringle's throw-on silhouettes in comforting fabrics and Färg & Blanche's samurai inspired Balon fabric armchairs introduce a cocooning protective feel to both fashion and interiors.

Enhanced Everyday

The elevation of the ordinary and everyday is evident for both fashion and lifestyle looks. Utility staples we take for granted are given a directional high fashion Christopher Kane. Workaday classics are reengineered for a chic and sophisticated masc-femme feel replicated in twist Erdem's PlusMinus screwdrivers that see household tools become works of art. A muted palette of urban greys and steely blues at Lemaire echo the concrete tones of Paul Cocksedge work that takes material from his floor studio and transforms it into urban industrial furniture.
