The Thakoon FW 2012 show boasted a rambunctious backstage atmosphere, mirroring the outlandish, youthful collection. The show featured a mashup of era-inspired details and textures.
The collection pulled its inspiration through several generations. The models donned 1920s flapper-inspired strappy heels and knee-length skirts. Sharply juxtaposed with the quiet pieces are fuzzy neon jackets, highly reminiscent of the early 90s. The 90s influence extended into tailoring, with box collars and slight-crop sweaters. The models wore cropped hairstyles with an edgy fringe and neon-red lips. The combination of cross-generational detailing is accomplished ingeniously.
As read on his website, Thakoon "imparts a feminine spirit, poised elegance and an underlying hint of playful wit." The Thakoon FW 2012 collection is for the playful lady who doesn't take herself, or her style, too seriously.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Era-fusing Fashions
- Fashion designers are combining different aspects from multiple eras in their collections, creating a unique blend of nostalgia and innovation.
- Mix-and-match Styles
- Clothing items with contrasting styles and time periods are being paired together to create a bold new look that defies conventional fashion norms.
- Contrasting Textures
- Designers are experimenting with opposing textures in a single outfit, creating dynamic contrasts that offer a new take on fashion aesthetics.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fashion

- Textile Manufacturing
- Textile manufacturers could develop new textures and fabrics that allow for easy mixing and matching of contrasting textiles in a single garment.
- Beauty Products
- Beauty product companies could create makeup products that complement the contrasting fashion styles used in era-fusing fashions, allowing for a complete look that blends the past and present.
