The majority of the gowns use a [mermaid-like design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-jewel-collection), in which the bodice cinches in at the waist, flares out a bit, then cinches in again at the ankles. The colors used in this collection are varied, but all are rich and vibrant. The more eye-catching and brightest dress is a chic orange number that looks so red carpet-ready that it seems only right for a celebrity to wear. Its jeweled design adds a little bling to the outfit, similar to the jeweled designs featured on the other dresses in this collection. Another dress that really grabs the eye is a black, floor-length gown with a long train and a peplum waist. This strapless dress is absolutely stunning; a more elaborate take on the classic little black dress. With this collection, Bergdorf Goodman is sure to attract a lot of prom-goers and formal event invitees. The bright colors, flattering shapes and elegant lines make this line the perfect formalwear style for summer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Mermaid-inspired Fashion:** Designing fashion using the mermaid-like design inspired by the Bergdorf Goodman Spring Collection is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry. - **Jeweled Fashion:** Producing jeweled designs in fashion, similar to those featured on the Bergdorf Goodman Spring Collection dresses, is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the accessories industry. - **Vibrant Color Fashion:** Creating more bold and vibrant colors for formalwear, similar to those used in the Bergdorf Goodman Spring Collection, is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the textile industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The Bergdorf Goodman Spring Collection provides opportunities for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry to develop mermaid-inspired fashion. - **Accessories:** The jeweled designs featured on the dresses of the Bergdorf Goodman Spring Collection provide opportunities for disruptive innovation in the accessories industry to create similar designs. - **Textile:** The varied, bold and vibrant colors used in the Bergdorf Goodman Spring Collection provide opportunities for disruptive innovation in the textile industry to create similar colors for formalwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inclusive Prom Dress Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prom-collection.md) - [Summer Bridal Guest-Of Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-guestof-collection.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Stylish Holiday-Ready Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bain-de-minuit.md) - [Island-Inspired Summer Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Uniform-Inspired Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-drama-school.md) - [Autumn Occasion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-fall-dresses.md)
