The Planetary Movement capsule seeks to fuse style and comfort through [laid-back streetwear silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2), "athletic-influenced stretch fabrics," as well as the myth of Ra -- the ancient Egyptian Sun God. The subtle "references to space and planets, [that] appear on dresses, skirts and hats" in the Perks and Mini Spring/Summer 2018 collection are effortlessly translated onto the boxy designs of the clothing, creating a dream-like and nostalgic ambiance. The cold blue colorways in some of the patterned pants are eerily reminiscent of the Impressionist art era. The Planatary Movement capsule also highlight a collaboration between P.A.M. and footwear label [SUICOKE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuon-x-suicoke-x-sashiko-gals). The 90s-inspired platform sandals perfectly tie into the retro clothing ensembles of the 2018 line-up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Comfort-focused Streetwear Collections:** A trend of fashion collections focusing on comfort, merging streetwear with athletic fabrics and boxy designs, presenting new opportunities for people-centered fashion technology development and marketing. - **Athletic-influenced Stretch Fabrics:** The use of athletic-influenced stretch fabrics in streetwear design is a trend that offers opportunities for innovative textile development and sustainable fashion solutions. - **Collaborations Across Fashion Industry:** Cross-industry collaborations, like the one between Perks and Mini and SUICOKE, are a rising trend within the fashion industry that opens up new opportunities for brand exposure and audience expansion. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry is consistently identifying consumer preferences for comfortable and functional fashion designs that inspire new opportunities for innovative fabric technologies and brand partnerships. - **Textile Industry:** The textile industry has growth opportunities in providing innovative and sustainable fabric solutions for the comfort-focused fashion trend, as well as aligning with the fashion industry to through cross-industry innovation. - **Footwear Industry:** The trend of athletic-inspired, comfortable fashion clothing, like in Planetary Movement, can drive demand for innovative, agile, and comfortable footwear designs, challenging the footwear industry to create new comfort-focused shoe designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spring-Ready Outdoor Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performance-articles.md) - [Elevated Grunge Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/express-to-mars.md) - [Seasonal Streetwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyra-scenic-route.md) - [Adventurous Spirit Performance Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mnml-active.md) - [Collaborative Sporty Timeless Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mammut.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Versatile Summer-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1.md) - [Luxurious Spring-Ready Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambush-5.md)
