The 17-piece [capsule collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-and-palace) is made up of luxurious streetwear featuring Andersen's signature [oversized silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-stray-kids). Even though he stuck to a simple color palette of white, black and pink, Andersen ensured the collection was bold and eye-catching. The colors were accentuated by using a variety of fabrics, as well as copper foil and metalwork. The stand-out piece in the collection is an oversized crushed velvet tracksuit in a striking shade of carnation pink. Other interesting pieces include mesh T-shirts, [neoprene bomber jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-by-kazuki-kuraishi) and vests and funnel necked sweaters. Hip-hop artist A$AP Ferg was tapped to model the collection in New York. Ferg and Andersen have a mutual appreciation for one another's work, making Ferg an obvious choice. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxurious Streetwear:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity in creating high-end streetwear collections that combine luxury fabrics and oversized silhouettes. - **Bold Color Palettes:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity in experimenting with bold color combinations and accentuating them with unique fabric choices and embellishments. - **Celebrity Collaborations:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity in collaborating with popular artists or celebrities to create exclusive collections that resonate with their fanbase. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities in creating high-end streetwear collections that combine luxury fabrics and oversized silhouettes. - **Textiles:** The textiles industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities in experimenting with bold color combinations and unique fabric choices for streetwear collections. - **Music:** The music industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities in collaborating with fashion brands to create exclusive collections endorsed by popular artists or celebrities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Football Star Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tru-kolors-x-ae.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [Rapper-Starred Streetwear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/always-do-what-you-should.md) - [Motorsport-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aap-rocky-x-puma.md) - [Collaborative Artful Runway Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-clark.md) - [Edgy Accessible Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-black-edit.md) - [Court Style Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterpay-dropshop-rhude.md) - [Music-Informed Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roc-nation-and-moncler.md)
