Tribal-Printed Hammer Pants

The Nicole Miller Pre-Fall 2012 Collection is Not for Wallflowers

— December 25, 2011 — Fashion
The Nicole Miller Pre-Fall 2012 collection is for contemporary women who want to stand out in a crowd and make their presence known. Miller was inspired by the West while creating her Pre-Fall offering, and specifically by Sharon Stone's character in the 1995 film 'The Quick and the Dead.'

Another source of inspiration came from Miller's friend Nick Von K's jewelry line, which features pendants of rattlesnakes, tumbleweeds and skulls. Thus was born the Nicole Miller Pre-Fall 2012 collection, full of fringe dresses, tribal prints in rustic, autumn hues, and even some eagle-embroidered graphic prints.

A pair of tribal printed harem pants are certainly the most adventurous piece in the Nicole Miller Pre-Fall 2012 collection, but Miller executes the concept well. Who knew Western-themed collections could be applied so literally and yet turn out so beautifully?
Trend Themes
1. Tribal-inspired Fashion - The trend for tribal and indigenous-inspired clothing is growing, giving rise to opportunities for designers to bring their own unique take on this style to the market.
2. West-inspired Clothing - The impact of Western cinematic styles on fashion is noticeable, which shows upcoming opportunities for designers to incorporate Western style in their clothing lines.
3. Fusion Fashion - The trend for fusion with Western designs may have possibilities for innovative designers who can create new designs conveying cultural mix-up.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion brands can keep working on the new designs that feature tribal and Western influences that can turn out to be the next big thing in the market.
2. Jewelry Making - Jewelry making could harness the inspiration coming from rattlesnakes, tumbleweeds, and skulls to create unique jewelry pieces.
3. Film Production - The influence of Western film on the fashion industry could help stir more interest in the niche and give opportunities to filmmakers to produce more Western-themed movies.
