JUST Neon

A micro trend that has occurred as a possible result of the space influence mixed with the festival and rave generation, is NEON.

Warning: Sunglasses may need to be worn!

A further influence may be the emergence of neon light art by artists such as Tracey Emin (see below x3) and Martin Creed (see 4th down):

JUST Space

It may be possible that this trend has been inspired by the fact that it is 50 years since the first images of man on the moon were beamed across the Atlantic, but whatever the reason, space style is creating an atmosphere in fashion at the moment.

I predict that by the time the trend reaches our streets (possibly this A/W) the trend will take one of two routes>>
STARS & COSMIC or METALLIC & REFLECTIVE;

STARS & COSMIC INFLUENCE:







The garment pictured above uses an image by Alex and Felix, whose work is created entirely without computer manipulation. The duo craft backdrops for the pictures, creating imaginative, often somewhat absurd and surreal worlds. 





METALLIC & REFLECTIVE INFLUENCE:


Karen Millen have featured in magazines for their space-like metallics (see below x2);
