The trend themes are illustrated with all-new collection photos from Danish and international fashion and accessory brands. TREND 1: E ARTH ACTIVIST Some of the sources of inspiration for the AW 20/21 season are uniforms and work- wear. This trend is fairly narrow in terms of colours, focusing on neutral tones of grey, blue-grey, sand/beige/off-white, and khaki. Aesthetically, though, the trend is fairly broad, and the style signals a sort of volun- tary use of uniforms - conveying a sense of community and togetherness. The clothes focus on comfort and functionality, but the look also has a classical style to it. The style can be seen as a counter-response to the part of fashion that is wild, without ru- les, and eclectic - which means inspired by different styles. The uniform trend is fairly neutral in its ex- pression, and it contains both casual and formal elements. Among its materials are teddy bear fabrics and lots of knitted gar- ments, both in classical and oversize cuts. The trench coat, of course, has a natu- ral place in this theme, and it is kept in its authentic colours but renewed with details and a silhouette that can be enlarged to create a more cape-like version. Utility details are seen both in material choi- ces and styling. Leather is also an important part of the trend when it comes to material choices. Suits for both men and women are impor- tant in this style, and the jumpsuit also con- tinues. Generally, the look has to exude comfort and softness, which means that more for- mal things are softened into a look that typi- cally appeals to the Nordic market.
