The British designer duo experienced their first-ever runway showing this past week at London Fashion Week. Featuring an array of vibrant prints, bold patterns and bright hues, the Agi and Sam FW12 collection is easily comparable to the wardrobe of a ringmaster or any other circus employee. With funky suits, wildly patterned shirts and pants, this collection stands apart from the rest. The designers, known for their commitment to environmentally friendly practices, used recycled materials to create the pieces in their latest collection. In collaboration with the UK's GreenPac, the designers used recycled plastic bottles to produce the fabrics used in the line. The result was an undeniably eye-catching collection, sure to appeal to a wide range of fashion enthusiasts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Fashion:** The use of recycled materials in the Agi and Sam FW12 collection presents an opportunity for sustainable and eco-friendly fashion trends. - **Bold, Vibrant Prints:** The use of bold, vibrant prints in the Agi and Sam FW12 collection could inspire a trend towards this type of playful and colorful fashion. - **Unconventional Shapes:** The unique shapes and cuts of garments in the Agi and Sam FW12 collection could pave the way for more experimentation with unconventional shapes in fashion design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sustainable Fashion:** The use of recycled materials in fashion could disrupt the industry by making sustainable fashion an even more popular and necessary trend. - **Patterned Clothing:** The use of bold patterns and prints in the Agi and Sam FW12 collection could inspire a trend towards more bold and playful patterned clothing in the fashion industry. - **Artistic Design:** The unique shapes and cuts of garments in the Agi and Sam FW12 collection could inspire a trend towards more artistic and creative fashion design in the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Fabric-Centric Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-nation-5.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md)
