Exotic Minimalism

Consumers incorporate a streamlined touch of exoticism in their wardrobe

Implications - At one time, using the word "exotic" in a fashion context conjured images of outrageous prints, sensational colors and a generally over-the-top aesthetic. Now, consumers who are committed to a minimalist approach to fashion are searching for ways to add an exotic flair to their wardrobe without compromising their existing sense of style. Adding small doses of busy patterns to streamlined garments and accessories reveals that consumers are continually adapting ephemeral fashion trends to suit their own long-term aesthetic preferences.
Trend Themes
1. Exotic Minimalism - Minimalist fashion consumers are adapting ephemeral fashion trends to suit their own long-term aesthetic preferences, adding small doses of busy patterns to streamlined garments and accessories.
2. Eco-friendly Leather - Fashion brands are turning to alternative leather sourced from byproducts of the seafood industry such as eel skin and salmon leather, creating exotic products that are also environmentally conscious.
3. Vacation Wear - Summer fashion brings a focus on vacation wear that is both visually interesting and comfortable, with designers experimenting with flamboyant styling and unique embellishments.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - These trends all highlight the ways in which the fashion industry is moving towards more unique and exotic styles for consumers.
2. Accessories - From scarves to handbags to bow ties, these examples show that there is a growing market for accessories that offer a pop of exoticism and playful design.
3. E-commerce - As consumers become more interested in unique and exotic styles, e-commerce businesses can tap into this market with curated collections and niche products that offer a point of difference.
