Attempted to be "a celebration of ever-evolving identities and a rich, shared history," the silhouettes openly reference bold African heritage, bringing something uniquely cultural to the forefront of [streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-planes-1). The editorial places emphasis on these reimagined cuts, while also calling the attention of the viewer to material execution. From metallic silver pull-over windbreakers with a cloth checkered bib to color-shifting iridescent trenches, the Afrofuturism fashion definitely infuses heritage with an [experimental edge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) that challenges the notions of tradition. The Daily Paper's upcoming Fall/Winter 2019 collection of menswear is identified by the name of 'Envisioning New Futures' and it is available at all Daily Paper stores and online. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Afrofuturism Fashion:** Opportunity to explore the intersection of African heritage and futuristic design in the fashion industry. - **Experimental Streetwear:** Potential for blending cultural references and avant-garde elements to redefine streetwear fashion. - **Material Innovation:** Disruptive potential in pushing the boundaries of materiality and execution in fashion design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunity for brands to incorporate Afrofuturism elements into their collections and cater to the growing demand for culturally diverse aesthetics. - **Streetwear:** Space to embrace experimental and unconventional styles influenced by Afrofuturism, creating unique offerings in the market. - **Textiles:** Potential for developing new materials and techniques to create innovative designs that combine tradition and futurism. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Athlete-Joined High Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afrofuturism-1.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Fall-Ready Explorative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-heritage.md) - [Music Culture-Fused Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-planes-1.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Contemporary Fall-Centric Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latimmier.md)
