As we delve into the Spring/Summer 2024 season, there’s a noticeable shift towards an artistic and crafted feel, emphasizing connection and self-care. This report serves as a guiding light for your buying strategy, offering insights into the trends shaping the fashion landscape.
This trend report is by Rose Hudson, published in WGSN. Fashionnovation is proud of collecting the works from WGSN and present them towards you.
Editor’s pick: crafted patterns
As consumers increasingly gravitate towards building sustainable and personalized wardrobes, brands are tapping into traditional crafting techniques to meet this demand. From block printing to direct-to-garment painterly patterns, and even drawing inspiration from #Tapestry influences, there’s a resurgence of interest in artisanal methods.
Building upon last season’s trend of repurposed materials, the current focus shifts towards authenticity. This authenticity is not only reflected in the choice of techniques but also resonates throughout street style. Brands are embracing the beauty of handmade craftsmanship and the unique character it brings to each piece.
By incorporating these traditional crafting techniques into their collections, brands are not only contributing to sustainability but also offering consumers a chance to express their individuality through their clothing. It’s a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and the timeless appeal of handmade designs. 
Figure 1: Crafted pattern is a major trend in 2024
Personal connection
In today’s fast-paced world, there’s a growing emphasis on self-care and reflection. Brands are responding by incorporating people-centric prints aimed at promoting self-acceptance and inclusivity. These prints are designed to resonate with individuals on a deeper level, fostering a sense of connection and belonging in line with the expanding self-care market.
Drawing inspiration from calming and feel-good themes, these prints aim to create a sense of wellness and serenity. By tapping into our Serenity & Self-Care Fast Track, brands are aligning with the growing demand for products that prioritize mental and emotional well-being.
Moreover, these prints also embrace the concept of body neutrality, emphasizing acceptance and appreciation of all body types. By promoting messages of self-love and inclusivity, brands are not only staying relevant but also contributing to a more positive and uplifting fashion landscape.
Figure 2: Personal connection is always a famous trend. Even in 2024. This is classic.
Pastoral parklife
#ParkLife encapsulates the revival of everyday countryside aesthetics and pastoral animal motifs, including ducks, horses, butterflies, and various bird species. This trend exudes a rustic, nostalgic charm with a distinctively handcrafted feel.
Fuelled by the surge in upcycling deadstock fabrics like tapestries and vintage tea towels, #ParkLife incorporates landscape #ToileDeJouy prints, illustrated placements, and artistic renditions. These elements contribute to a sense of authenticity and craftsmanship, adding depth to the overall aesthetic.
For the more traditional consumer, key motifs such as #Birds and horses take center stage, evoking a sense of timeless elegance. Meanwhile, younger consumers are drawn to the inclusion of pastoral animals such as goats and cows, infusing a playful and contemporary twist into the design narrative.
Embrace the charm of #ParkLife in your wardrobe or home decor, and immerse yourself in the beauty of countryside-inspired motifs and handcrafted detailing.

Mineral textures
Texture prints are evolving with a sophisticated and mineral-inspired edge, incorporating intricate digitalized prints and dye patterns that redefine #NaturesTexture. Drawing inspiration from our digital waves callout, exhibitors are exploring textures found in ice and water, seeking to capture the dynamic and mesmerizing qualities of these natural elements.
Innovative brands like Hul Le Kes from the Netherlands and Pas Une Marque from France are leading the charge by developing prints crafted with natural dyes derived from rust. This innovative approach not only adds depth and richness to the prints but also aligns with the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly practices in fashion.
With a focus on texture and detail, these prints offer a contemporary take on nature-inspired motifs, inviting consumers to connect with the beauty and complexity of the natural world in new and unexpected ways.

Botanicultural
The growing appreciation for nature and the rise of self-care hobbies like gardening serve as the inspiration for this important print and graphic narrative. As arts and crafts become increasingly integrated into the menswear market, #CraftedDetails and #Personalization take center stage, expanding on the #Horticool themes with a DIY aesthetic.
Think of embroidered floral motifs and vintage inspirations that evoke a sense of nostalgia and eco-consciousness. These elements create a connection to our Spring/Summer 2024 capsule collection, Nature Artist, which celebrates the beauty of the natural world through artistic expression.
With a focus on handcrafted details and personalized touches, this trend invites individuals to infuse their wardrobe with elements of nature and creativity. Whether it’s adding embroidered patches to a denim jacket or customizing a shirt with botanical prints, #CraftedDetails and #Personalization offer a unique and meaningful way to connect with nature in everyday life.

Sunset snacks
The emergence of #FoodInFashion and #DrinksInDesign motifs has caught our attention, tying into our Self-care snack forecast story. These trends evoke a hedonistic vibe, expanding on party room themes to encompass after-work drinks and foods that encourage relaxation and the enjoyment of life’s simple pleasures.
While comfort food continues to hold relevance, there’s a shift towards healthy summer harvest themes. Think vibrant fruit labels and personified cartoon characters adorning clothing and accessories, adding a playful and refreshing touch to fashion.
This trend celebrates the joy of indulging in delicious treats and savoring moments of relaxation, whether it’s unwinding with a refreshing drink or enjoying the bounty of summer fruits. With #FoodInFashion and #DrinksInDesign, fashion becomes a feast for the senses, inviting individuals to embrace the hedonistic side of life and indulge in a little culinary-inspired style.
Figure 6: Sunset snacks trends 2024
Artistic maritime
In harmony with the artistic atmosphere of the season, timeless maritime trends receive a contemporary update with the use of #Watercolour and #PainterlyPattern techniques, perfectly in line with our Vacation moments forecast trend. This direction embraces a narrative approach, reminiscent of journaling and storytelling, connecting to #SummerSketchbook scenes and evoking nostalgia for charming destinations.
Imagine hand-painted fish motifs and scenic landscapes that transport you to idyllic coastal retreats. These elements come together to create a bolder and more expressive feel, as seen in the designs of French brand OLOW.
With #Watercolour and #PainterlyPattern techniques, fashion becomes a canvas for capturing the essence of summertime adventures and seaside memories. It’s about embracing the artistic spirit and infusing your wardrobe with the beauty of hand-drawn details and picturesque vistas.
Figure 7: Artistic maritime trend 2024
Vibrant vacay
High summer prints burst with energy, capturing the vibrant essence of a vacation with electric garden florals and distorted dye patterns in vivid colors. Denmark’s ISNURH exemplifies the potential of Kornit digital printing capabilities, showcasing the remarkable color intensity achievable with biodegradable ink.
These prints evoke a sense of excitement and adventure, transporting wearers to sun-drenched destinations and lively tropical landscapes. Whether it’s bold floral motifs or abstract patterns reminiscent of swirling ocean waves, these designs infuse summer wardrobes with a burst of vitality and dynamism.
For further exploration, be sure to explore our Dopamine Summer design capsule, where you’ll find even more exhilarating prints and innovative techniques to elevate your summer style to new heights.
Figure 8: Vibrant vacay trend 2024
Barely there tonal
In the midst of busy and playful fashion ranges, #LowKeyLuxury collections offer a serene and understated elegance. We’ve been observing the evolution of #ToneOnTone prints, noting their transition into barely-there renditions, offering a subtle alternative to fabric interest items.
To achieve this minimalist aesthetic, consider circular monomaterial techniques such as same-thread embroidery, laser cutting, and delicate broderie. These methods create subtle textures and patterns that add depth without overwhelming the design.
Additionally, opt for water-based inks, which have a lower environmental impact compared to traditional printing methods. By prioritizing sustainability and simplicity, #LowKeyLuxury collections offer a refined and mindful approach to fashion, allowing individuals to express their style with quiet confidence.
Figure 9: Barely there tonal trend 2024
Nautical collage
In a celebration of #JoyfulExpression and nautical themes, irregular shapes mingle with carefree motifs in stamped and blocked iterations. Brands embrace the trend of #CutoutPrints, incorporating scrap collage techniques to update traditional nautical motifs and sun prints with a playful twist.
These designs evoke a sense of joy and spontaneity, inviting wearers to embrace their adventurous spirit and express themselves freely. Whether it’s whimsical sea creatures or abstract shapes reminiscent of waves, these prints add a touch of lightheartedness to summer wardrobes.
The woven #ResortShirt emerges as a key silhouette to watch, with its projected growth supported by data from our UK and US TrendCurve+. With its relaxed fit and versatile styling options, the resort shirt promises to be a staple piece for those seeking effortless summer style.
Embrace the spirit of joyful expression and playful nautical motifs this season, and let your wardrobe reflect the carefree vibes of summer.

There are three action points for modestwear design priorities
- Invest in items with longevity, that can be worn for multiple end-uses
- Focus on smarter product phasing and cross-category merchandising over limited appeal capsules
- Invest to understand regional modestwear requirements
As we embrace Ramadan and the everyday hustle, it’s essential to think smart about our wardrobe choices, especially when it comes to modest wear. We’re looking for pieces that seamlessly transition from home to the office and then to Iftar gatherings, without compromising on style or comfort.
First things first, let’s talk about comfort casuals. Think practicality meets style. We’re talking about comfy, easy-to-layer pieces that can handle the demands of Ramadan. Look out for items like a versatile stealth wealth set, cozy pyjama-inspired outfits (#BoudoirDressing for the win!), breathable tunics, elevated hoodies, oversized tops, woven joggers, and leggings that feel like a second skin.
Now, onto footwear. With regular prayer calls, we need shoes that are not just comfortable but easy to slip on and off. Mary Janes, ballet flats, slides, and sneakers without laces are our go-tos.
For those days when we’re transitioning from the office to Iftar, we need pieces that can effortlessly switch gears. Lightweight trenches, soft blazers, dresses that double as tops, work-leisure dresses, boho blouses, classic shirts, maxi skirts, and cargo trousers are your office-to-Iftar essentials.
Accessories can take your outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. Think detachable corsages, statement chains, elegant brooches, customizable embellishments, eye-catching earrings, wristwear, belts that make a statement, and printed scarves that add a pop of color.
And let’s not forget about staying cool in the hustle and bustle of the day. Opt for fabrics like cotton, silk, linen, regenerated cellulosics, and high-tech synthetics that regulate temperature. Look for qualities like #Secondskin and #Bodywear for everyday comfort.
With these tips in mind, you’ll be Ramadan-ready and everyday chic, no matter where the day takes you!

Influences
Vela scarves, Inrea, Levi’s, ameenaroshae, Haya and I have some influencing styles to look for.
Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha modestwear trends-2024
As we approach Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, there’s a noticeable shift towards more conscious and adaptable occasionwear. People are looking for outfits that not only celebrate the festivities but also align with ongoing trends towards casualization.
Figure 4: Eid-ul Fitr and Eid-ul adha trend 2024. Source: WGSN
It’s important to steer clear of creating tokenistic capsule collections. Instead, focus on re-commerce and modifying existing ranges to meet the evolving needs of the market. Hiring market experts with experience in modestwear design can offer invaluable insights into the specific requirements of this niche.
When it comes to design, consider scaling back on maximalist trims, prints, and embellishments. Instead, offer more versatile pieces that can be layered over or under other items, or easily elevated with the right accessories. Look out for key items like full skirts, maxi skirts, boho dresses, column dresses, #ElegantSimplicity dresses, fluid blouses, draped tops, ruffle-trimmed overcoats, and plissé top and trouser sets.
Market your collections by showcasing multiple ways to wear them. Consider creating #Layering tutorials demonstrating various outfit builds, and share Get Ready With Me (GRWM) reels to engage with your audience. Take inspiration from successful approaches like Twiice Boutique in Australia and collaborate with influencers to demonstrate styling opportunities. Additionally, tapping into insights from reports like the Gen Z: Muslim Digital Behaviours can provide further ideas for marketing strategies tailored to your target audience.
Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are occasions of joy and celebration, and with the right approach to occasionwear, you can ensure that everyone feels confident and stylish during these special times of the year.

Travel and resortwear modestwear trends-2024
Let’s make summer styling a breeze by crafting #TravelFriendly pieces that blend lightweight fabrics with modest silhouettes, ensuring comfort and breathability wherever your adventures take you.
In response to the growing trend of minimizing luggage, our focus is on cabin-bag-friendly clothing that’s both practical and stylish. We’re talking about fuss-free, interchangeable vacation wear that’s light on weight and space. Think crease-free, modular, and packable garments that are perfect for wearing both on the journey and at the destination. Look out for essentials like lightweight cargo trousers, versatile packable travel sets, beach-to-business shirts, #SummerSensuality dresses, resort maxis, and city-to-beach trousers.

Investing in good-coverage lightweight fabrics is key. Not only do they provide the necessary level of skin coverage for modesty and sun protection, but they also offer comfort in rising global temperatures. We’re prioritizing climate-adaptive styles and cooling fibers, especially in active, swim, and cover-up pieces that excel in both fashion and performance. Keep an eye out for protective sun tops, layering tanks, and rash suits to stay cool and protected under the sun.
With these #TravelFriendly summer pieces in your wardrobe, you can jet off to your favorite destinations with ease, knowing you’re prepared for any adventure that comes your way.

As a writer immersed in the fashion world, I’m endlessly fascinated by the heritage labels that laid the foundations of American style. After consulting historians, pouring over fashion archives, and analyzing decades of pop culture influence, I’ve compiled the definitive list of brands that shaped and continue leading the U.S. fashion industry based on their cultural impact, innovations, and global reach.
Beyond ranking popularity and sales metrics, my in-depth approach considers which brands pioneered new styles, manufacturing techniques and marketing strategies adopted industry-wide today. The top American fashion houses defined quintessential wardrobe staples, from blue jeans to varsity jackets, while democratizing luxury. Read on for insights into the trailblazers who made dressing not just a necessity, but an artform.
Levi Strauss & Co – Inventor of the Classic Blue Jean
Levi Strauss, one of the top US Fashion brands. One of America’s most influential fashion brands.
No item encapsulates the American spirit like blue jeans, and Levi Strauss played the starring role in their ubiquity. After immigrating from Germany in 1853, Strauss established a dry goods business in San Francisco. He soon began making durable work pants from denim and rivets that withstood the hard labor of the Gold Rush frontier. Thus the first blue jean was born.
Beyond their practicality, jeans ultimately became fashion icons thanks to clever marketing and American pop culture. The launch of Lucky Jeans in 1934 forever linked denim with Hollywood. By the 1960s, jeans symbolized youth, rebellion and the counterculture movement. Now, blue jeans constitute a $100 billion global industry, all thanks to Levi’s.
Jeans Highlights:
- First riveted denim “waist overalls” created in 1873
- Launched first jeans for women in 1934

![Transformation in Fashion Industry]()
by Purba | May 8, 2021 | Top fashion news |
In this era, to be “out of fashion” is indeed to be out of the world. Why so? Well, we already know the reason. Fashion, which is as old as time and as new as tomorrow, is one of the most powerful forces in our life. It influences every sector of our lifestyle. So, to understand the living, breathing and evolving transformation in fashion industry is a need of the hour!
Although the Fashion Industry is considered to be the most glamorous and dynamic fields in the world, it is also difficult, demanding and unpredictable.
Despite the enchanting interplay of creativity, business hype and marketing wit, everything comes down to the bottom line if the fashion companies can’t get profit up to the mark.
In recent years, the fashion industries have undergone dramatic restructuring. The industry does not resemble the one that existed 20 years ago.
Just as fashion products change, the industry itself keep revolving. However, we have seen fashion retailers competing with each other to provide newly fashion trends revealed by fashion shows and runways.
Here are some factors which are driving the transformation in fashion industry:
Elevation of mass production
Prior to the mid 1980s , success in the fashion industry was dependent on low cost mass production of standard designs that did not change often due to the design restrictions of the factories. Evidently, consumers during that time were less conscious of style and fashion and mostly preferred basic apparel or wearings.
Fashion garments began to be mass produced towards the mid-20th century. People began to have more choices of garments as the bulk of production increased.
At the end of the 20th century, fashion awareness among people raised on the top, and they began to choose comfy as well as stylish clothes for themselves, instead of counting on the trends prevailing in the market.
Fast Fashion
Fast fashion is a very known term that has allowed anyone to dress following the latest trends whether he or she has the least of fashion sense.
Spending a little amount but dressing in a different way has become the norm for most people in the last two decades, and that is the reason driving the success of the “fast fashion” trend.
Customers love to see various products or designs every month and this has led to an increase in the demand for new fashion collections over a smaller span of time. And so, to be profitable in the industry, apparel retailers need to take the ‘speed to market’ approach to make profit on fashion that is not in the stores of their competitors.
By emerging small collections of merchandise, fashion retailers encourage consumers to visit their stores more frequently with the idea of ‘Here Today, Gone Tomorrow’. And it surely indicates a shorter life cycle of a particular design or a garment.

Technological Impact
There was a time previously when the creation of garments required much time and skill, whereas today they are realised within a matter of minutes.
However, today is a combination of all techniques to have been practiced until now. Such as, some designers love to work with the very ancient spindle techniques for their woven styles, but might use a 3D printer for their footwear or ornaments.
The development of technology gives designers a wide choice of techniques to use and it arises constant opportunities. Moreover-
- Nowadays traditional design methods are being replaced by CAD (Computer-Aided Design), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) or many other designing platforms which minimizes the time of sketching on paper, draping fabrics on mannequins or having a proper measurement. And so these technologies allow the designers to make any kind of changes required for the desired silhouette or fabric trimmings.
- For having a true-to life garment visualization or virtual sampling, we can now easily use some 3D designing software like CLO, Marvelous Designer, MAYA, TUKA 3D etc. Most of our fashion industries get benefited from these 3D garment simulations; as these have gradually reduced the machinery cost or labour cost.
- High-intensity lasers or computer-guided knives are a great replacement of traditional pattern making system as one can get many layers of fabric all at once. But these technologies are mainly used in making expensive apparels.

The assembling of ancient and modern techniques depicts that designers can choose the most sustainable options, and drive the evolution of fashion towards sustainability.
Online shopping & E-commerce for smoothing the digital transformation in fashion industry
Today’s digital world is more and more interconnected with our fashion industry. Digital platforms are becoming prevalent in the fashion market. Every now and then we can see many new brands are emerging with the development of e-commerce, which allows companies to engage consumers through virtual reality.
- The global pandemic (COVID-19) has transformed the way consumers behave and made it amply clears how technology can be lifted to accumulate sales even when consumers are locked in their homes.
- Another withholding factor to the rise of e-commerce is the availability of smartphones and devices. Moreover, there is a huge upsurge in 4G and 5G adoption, which indicates a developed infrastructure of a country.
- While renowned fashion businesses have already joined the e-commerce bandwagon, small shops or boutiques are now also seen entering the homes of prospective buyers via fashion apps, social media pages and garnering followers. As a result, customisation has evolved; creating one’s own shopping basket, having discounts and loyalty points on shopping sites have now become a rewarding experience.
- During this social media era, the fashion industry is experiencing the increasing role of influencers, as consumers look at their lifestyle as more authentic and attractive than habitual advertisements. Influencers are considered as close to the common people because they are not models and are not forced to make a campaign, but wear what they like and what flaunts their body well; they also show their outfits during regular days or in common. Thus it gets easier for ordinary people or customers to adopt the trend followed by the influencers.
The adoption and popularity of e-commerce have manifested that being digital is the only way forward. As consumers build on their impulses, fashion platforms need to up their game to personalize their offerings to the varied tastes and build predictability within their boundaries, to better purchase experiences.
Customization of a particular attire brings the transformation in fashion industry
Personalization:
Consumers have become more squeamish and more demanding during the last few years. It builds a high expectation for quality products among the consumers. They choose fashion items according to their values and their personal style. To cope up with the expectations, fashion companies have to understand how to offer product that customers will perceive as unique. Many fashion companies have followed this trend by enlightening their product portfolio and becoming more and more “multi-style brands”.
Sometimes the company has to think about what is the difference that makes the product of a brand incomparable for both customers and competitors. A wrong choice can instantly destroy the brand reputation, thus they have to be very careful with the selection.
The fashion industry is one of innovation, vision and diversity. And of course, we do not need a reminder of this, but in the fast pace of life, it can be easy to get caught in the rapid movement of our works with all the deadlines and trends. We need to juggle with our innovative ideas, customer feedback and our internal communications as well as to create beautiful and sustainable garments as quickly as possible, following the brand’s image and values.
