These are the four trends defined in the exhibition: UTILITY: Based on industrial and workwear materials, the utility trend focuses on sustainability through new technology and pared down essentials. WILDERNESS: Defined by a return to nature and folk arts, the wilderness trend embraces a raw and handcrafted aesthetic with fabrics like wool, aged leather, natural fibers, and chunky knits in a neutral palette. MIX MASH: Bright and whimsical, the mix mash trend is made defined by bright colors and bold patterns from a variety of cultural and ethnic traditions. SOBRIETY: Exemplified by fabrics that exhibit quality, craftsmanship and a minimal aesthetic, sobriety embraces a return to traditional design. • Heimtextil website Images: Sarah Rainwater
