Fueled by wanderlust, the collection includes [versatile parka jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andwander-fw25), long trench coats and practical boots for touring in style. Naturally, the [travel-themed collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-diaries-collection) also included plenty of handbags and [trunk backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time) to help people jet off to new places as soon as they are able. As Olivier Roustein puts it, "I don’t know where we’re going, but I do know that we are going somewhere. The point is not the destination but the actual going—the journey, the leaving, and the escape." As a homage to travel, the collection was unveiled inside a spacious hangar at Charles de Gaulle Airport, and models walked on airplane wings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wanderlust Fashion:** The merging of travel and fashion, creating fun and practical pieces designed for touring in style. - **Travel-themed Collections:** Fashion collections inspired by wanderlust, featuring travel-inspired motifs and accessories. - **Airline Collaboration:** Fashion collections unveiling in an airline-themed setting or partnering with airlines for travel-inspired collaborations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Apparel:** The fashion industry has the potential to tap into consumers' desire for wanderlust-inspired collections that merge style and functionality. - **Tourism and Travel:** Collaborations between airlines and fashion can create new revenue streams for airlines and provide fashion brands with unique marketing opportunities. - **Event Planning and Experiential Marketing:** Event planners can capitalize on the trend of airline collaborations and create unique fashion shows in airport hangars or on airplane wings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luggage-Honoring Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-flight-mode-collection.md) - [On-the-Road Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-prefall-2023.md) - [Urban Layered Outdoor Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andwander-fw25.md) - [Fashion-Inspired Luggage Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jet-gala.md) - [Dynamic Fall-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordanluca-1.md) - [Wanderlust Fragrance Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adventures-elegance-collection.md) - [Travel-Friendly Loungewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-diaries-collection.md) - [Collaborative Luggage Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-suitcases.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md)
