Visions of the future

a S/S 2024 Womenswear forecast


“Biomimicry is the science of applying nature-inspired designs in human engineering and invention to solve human problems”



For as long as humans have been on this planet, we have looked to mother nature for inspiration in nearly every aspect of design. Much of what we do is because of the surrounding influence that the terrain has on us. What was once a powerful relationship between earth & man has quickly become rampant with capitalistic governments, over-production of manmade waste, and a world that will not be sustainable for future generations to come.

It is time to reclaim the simplicity of nature and bring our society back to the roots. In our solarpunk future, we see an emphasis of sustainability, and income equality as well as a reverse in climate change. We are starting to see a trend in holistic & natural approaches to everything from medicine to even fashion!

People are starting now more than ever to be more aware and conscious of our natural materials & resources, which leads us to Biomimetic: a S/S Womens Wear forecast on how society is grounding themselves back to the roots of nature, and how it will lead to our vibrant and sustainable future. 


Our Color Story

The color story represents different landscapes & environmental elements found on planet earth. There are both cool & warm tones represented by desert landscapes, Oceanic elements, forest growth, and urban environments. With crystals & spirituality becoming more popular in today’s changing world, we looked towards nature geode colors to represent this newfound environmental spirituality.

The Process

Through months of trend researching, which included analyzing trends in politics, media, and society as a whole, My teammates and I found that while sustainable fashion is up & coming now, it will gain more popularity within the next few years when it becomes widely available for the general consumer. Biomimetic: Visions of the future explores a world in which sustainability is at the forefront, connecting human- beings back to the natural roots we evolved from. We took inspiration from eco-communities, Urban Jungles, Desert landscapes, media/ influencers & more.
