# Defiant Prototype-Themed Runways POST ARCHIVE FACTION Debuts Its FW18 Line as Anonymous Fashion By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-08-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anonymous-fashion References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/8/post-archive-faction-fall-winter-2018-collection-lookbook) & [postarchivefaction](http://www.postarchivefaction.com/) 'Anonymous fashion' is perhaps the best way to describe the presentation of POST ARCHIVE FACTION's Fall/Winter offerings for 2018. The collection appears to be somewhat ominous since it is intended to be perceived as a faceless phenomenon. The models that strut the "false runway, constructed on the outskirts of Seoul," are expressionless which gives the overall vibe of the pieces an uncomfortable hint. The Korean label strongly experiments with slouchy accented silhouettes that offer an interesting twist to tailoring. From the [strappy backpack-style trenchcoat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time) to the [slouchy oversized hoodie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/observe) with drawstring accents, the anonymous fashion really puts into question the [notion of identity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take). With a spark of futurism, POST ARCHIVE FACTION aims to communicate "the introduction process by both the label and its wearer." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## 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 - **Anonymous Fashion:** Fashion brands can experiment with faceless fashion themes to introduce new styles that challenge traditional trends to appeal to audiences seeking something different. - **Slouchy Accented Silhouettes:** Fashion designers can showcase their designs with unconventional silhouettes to challenge the traditional shapes and push boundaries. - **Futuristic Fashion:** Brands can create sci-fi/futuristic fashion suitable for the current fashion industry and offer customers access to the latest designs while staying ahead of competitors. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can experiment with new runway presentations to draw attention and introduce new designs to the public. - **Apparel:** Apparel brands can experiment with unconventional silhouettes and shapes in their designs to offer consumers new and exciting options that challenge tradition. - **Design:** Designers can experiment with futuristic themes and sci-fi inspired ideas to design unconventional wearables that will lead to new products and future design concepts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Conceptual Memory-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Redefined Fall Everyday Uniforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/observe.md) - [Asymmetric Technical Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloudmonster-2.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Seasonal Stealthy Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloudventure-peak.md)
