atmos and GUESS work in collaboration for the Spring/Summer 2019 season, introducing a capsule that celebrates both of the labels' heritage. It blends design cues from atmos' Japanese roots and GUESS' American upbringing -- this collection marks the duo's fifth time working together.

The series showcases original GUESS logos with new cuts accompanied by a selection of logos complete in a plethora of styles and colors across [graphic tees, headwear, and bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-godfather-collection). The signature pastel hues drawn from GUESS' archives adorn a selection of the seasonal pieces along with the signature upside-down triangular logo that has been reimagined with a variety of colors and split into two. Some notable items from the capsule include the short sleeve sweater with a middle cut and the [reversible bucket hat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subware).

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Cross-cultural Fashion Collaborations:** This trend highlights the opportunity for brands with differing backgrounds to come together and create unique designs that celebrate their individual heritages.
- **Incorporating Heritage Into Designs:** This trend explores the use of cultural references and design cues from different parts of the world to create fashion collections that stand out from the crowd.
- **Upside-down Logo Reworks:** This trend involves taking a brand's existing logo and reimagining it in bold new ways that add a fresh layer of excitement and interest to the design.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion and Apparel:** There is an opportunity for brands to collaborate with others in the fashion industry or other industries to create new, unique design collections.
- **Streetwear:** This industry can benefit from the use of design cues and references from different cultures around the world to create streetwear collections that are more diverse and inclusive.
- **Accessories:** Accessories like hats and bags provide a great canvas for designers to experiment with incorporating different design elements from their own cultural heritage or that of others.
