EARTHLING – Mood + Colour
We are living in stressful times with technological overload making it more and more difficult to switch off. Maybe it is time to step back and look at life and how it was lived in less frenetic times, at lifestyles that are more organically lived, where creative expression and self actualization come more naturally than the daily commute and endless emails. We can draw inspiration from the anti-establishment communities like the Amish or the free-thinking communes of the 60s, where rules were broken in the celebration of the free spirit. Maybe it is time to unplug ourselves from our technology obsession in favour of more homely pursuits. To reinvent and put a value on arts and crafts or handcrafted products with a sense of whimsical humour. To appreciate the beauty of nature rather than marvel at the never-ending procession of techno toys. Do we really need that latest overblown, overweight ‘It’ bag, those killer heels, or would we rather take a less complicated approach to life? Our Earthling trend is a refreshing redefinition of fashion, combining the simplest shapes with natural fabrics like fur and cotton, and adding print and pattern with a humorous approach.
