TREND FORECASTING C o u n t e r T r e n d The counter trend of Future Femininity is extremely floral, emphasising the floral accent palette. This trend sees the blooms of flowers taking form in face art for beauty and embroidery in women’s wear. This trend represents extreme feminism and femininity and touches upon the everlasting feminism path portrayed in the climbing face art flowers. The flowers need to look as though they are blooming with colour and becoming alive, much like the trend it follows.

The flowers and colours used of the embroidered badges are mainly in pink tones and bright, daring colours which are the key tones in Future Femininity. Floral embroidery is seen throughout every garment made, and is completely in your face which is what the trend is about, being bold and strong. These garments are statement pieces much like how feminism makes statements in history and the future every single day. 42 43
