The enticing collection is bedazzled in sparkling diamonds and the designer states, "I OD'd on diamonds -- but I couldn't help it." The pieces have beautifully fitted silhouettes but the highlight of the collection focuses upon the refined detail of these attention-grabbing materials used to craft the garments. Crystal fringe is added to decorate a cashmere sweater, feathers from an ostrich drape around a leather dress, and flashy diamonds create fringe details on tight sweater dresses and jackets. Without fail, every single item in Christopher Kane's Pre-Fall 2018 collection will draw eyes from every direction. All of the pieces either sparkle with crystal or diamonds, were made with bright neon colors, or incorporate a horror movie graphic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Horror-themed Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create attention-grabbing collections that incorporate horror movie graphics and unconventional materials like feathers and diamonds. - **Crystal Fringe Details:** Designers can add crystal fringe details to their clothing to elevate the overall look and create unique texture. - **Neon Color Palettes:** Using bright neon colors can add a unique and intriguing element to fashion collections. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** Designers can consider incorporating unconventional materials, like diamonds and feathers, and horror movie graphics to make their collections stand out. - **Jewelry Industry:** Diamonds can be used in unconventional ways to decorate clothing, and designers can explore creating jewelry pieces with horror movie themes. - **Textile Industry:** Using unconventional materials to add unique textures to clothing, like the feather draping featured in Christopher Kane's pre-fall 2018 collection, can be explored in the textile industry to create innovative fabric options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Haunting Fine Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Luxurious Holiday Gift Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2024.md) - [Playful Spring-Forward Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection.md)
