This [fruit-infused drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-spade-cocktail-mixers) is to credit for this line's [vibrant color palette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1) and watermelon prints and motifs. This [ultra feminine collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) features a girly style fashion fans have come to expect from the French designer. The Alexis Mabille Spring/Summer '16 collection features a color palette that ranges from red and green to crisp white, blue and a shocking pink. A summery watermelon print takes over cool pieces such as jumpsuits, trousers, dresses and blouses while a watermelon motif is used on sweaters and accessories. Fashion fans are to get to the most ladylike styles out of this collection with ruffles, deep necklines and silky fabrics also being offered. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 42% | 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) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fruit-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity to create clothing lines inspired by different fruits, incorporating their colors and motifs. - **Vibrant Color Palettes:** Potential to explore bold and lively color combinations in fashion design. - **Girly Style:** Market for feminine and delicate fashion styles that embrace ruffles, deep necklines, and silky fabrics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Innovative designers can capitalize on the trend of fruit-infused fashion and create unique clothing lines. - **Printed Textiles:** Printing industry can cater to the demand for watermelon prints and motifs in clothing and accessories. - **Women's Apparel:** Opportunity to offer ladylike styles and garments with ruffles, deep necklines, and silky fabrics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Fruit-Forward Wine-Based Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uptown-cocktails-melon-peppersmash.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Print-Focused Swim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Handbag Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furla-debuts.md) - [Fashion Lifestyle Cocktail Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-spade-cocktail-mixers.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Romantic Summer-Ready Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandra-rich.md) - [Cocktail-Inspired Sorbet Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-sorbets.md)
