The result is a put-together look of slouchy pants, heels, sneakers and relaxed frocks. The curation is extremely spontaneous, playfully mixing patterns and hues. Memorable pieces from the line include leggings, a [heavily pleated floral skirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025) and a series of kilt-like double folded skirts. Antiform was formed by Lizzie Harrison in 2007, basing its manufacturing locally and focusing on ethical means of production. The company and team are specialists in [textile up-cycling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia) and reusable local fashion systems. As read on the website, "many of our products are 100% made in Yorkshire, right down to the trimmings." Beyond designing, Harrison also stands as a lecturer, commissioned designer, researcher and consultant. The Antiform SS 2012 is a relaxed take on the skirted look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Slouchy Pants:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and produce slouchy pants that combine comfort and style for a relaxed yet fashionable look. - **Mixing Patterns and Hues:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform or service that offers guidance and recommendations for mixing patterns and hues to create unique and stylish outfits. - **Textile Up-cycling:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative methods of repurposing and upcycling textiles to reduce waste and create sustainable fashion solutions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology such as 3D printing and smart fabrics into the fashion industry to revolutionize design and production processes. - **Ethical Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement blockchain technology to provide transparency and traceability in the supply chain, ensuring ethical manufacturing practices. - **Fashion Consulting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop an AI-powered fashion consulting platform that utilizes machine learning algorithms to provide personalized style recommendations and outfit suggestions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Elegant Easy-to-Wear Shirt Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirt-dress-collection.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md)
