# Marine-Themed Fashion The Alberta Ferretti Pre-Fall 2014 Collection is Full of Gold Embellishments By Meghan Young | Published 2014-01-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alberta-ferretti-prefall-2014 References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/lookbook/b--alberta-ferretti-pf-14-look-book-68670.html) & [albertaferretti](http://www.albertaferretti.com) The Alberta Ferretti Pre-Fall 2014 collection is inspired by the work of Josef Hoflehner, an award-winning Austrian photographer known for his cinematic shots of ships and sailors. Although it might be apparent to some right off the bat, the designs are influenced by a marine theme. This subtle motif is "evident in everything from [peacoats and sailor pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-island-marina-aw25) to a painterly jacquard suggestive of moonlit waves," as noted by Style.com. Full of gold accents, the Alberta Ferretti Pre-Fall 2014 collection particularly focuses on the insignia on officers’ uniforms. Yet for all of this, the designs are elegantly feminine. And for drama, the designer introduced a slew of dyed furs in the form of navy, black and blue pony-skin, mink and fox. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Marine-themed Fashion:** Opportunity to incorporate marine motifs and gold accents in clothing designs. - **Painterly Jacquard:** Incorporating a painterly jacquard in fashion designs can evoke images of moonlit waves. - **Dyed Furs:** Dyed furs in navy, black, and blue shades can add drama to fashion collections. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can draw inspiration from marine-themed motifs and incorporate gold accents and dyed furs. - **Photography:** Photographers can explore cinematic shots of ships and sailors for inspiration. - **Textile and Fur Industry:** The textile and fur industry can create new materials and products inspired by the marine theme and gold accents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Seaside-Influenced Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fort-2.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Retrospective Chic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md)
