# Tokyo Culture Clothing Collections Used Future's City Project Capsule is Inspired by Japan By Amy Duong | Published 2018-05-10 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-project References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/used-future-ss18-city-project/) & [used-future.net](http://www.used-future.net/) Seoul-based fashion label Used Future is returning for the Spring/Summer 2018 season with its latest collection entitled 'City Project -- [Tokyo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackeyepatch-winter), Japan.' The seasonal range draws a strong inspiration from the cultural elements of Tokyo, and it translates through the implementation of graphic details. The City Project collection features a series of graphic hoodies, t-shirts, headwear and even stickers. The specific Tokyo focus dials in on the local citizens and culture because as a Korean fashion label, it wanted to implant its own streetwear style into its neighboring surroundings. Some of the standout items from Used Future's latest collection include the tiger motif graphic t-shirts and the "dad caps" with adjustable straps and simplistic branding details at the front panel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Regional](https://www.trendhunter.com/regional) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cultural Fashion Collections:** Fashion brands are implementing different cultural elements into their collections, creating an opportunity for more diverse marketing and sales strategies. - **Graphic Streetwear:** The use of graphic design and streetwear elements is becoming more popular in high fashion, creating a disruptive opportunity for new collaborations and designs. - **Localized Inspiration:** Fashion labels are drawing inspiration from local cultures and populations to expand their reach and audience, suggesting an opportunity for community-driven marketing campaigns and merchandising strategies. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Apparel brands should consider integrating diverse cultural elements into their collections to attract wider audiences and increase sales. - **Graphic Design:** Graphic designers can collaborate with fashion brands to create unique and eye-catching designs for streetwear and other types of apparel. - **Tourism:** Local cultures and populations can inspire fashion lines and attract tourism, highlighting an opportunity for tourism and fashion collaborations to boost local economies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Utility Tokyo Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackeyepatch-winter.md) - [Capsule Streetwear Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kowga-x-union-tokyo.md) - [Tokyo-Inspired Collaborative Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topologie-and-maison-kitsun.md) - [Spring-Ready Technical Danish Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fce-2.md) - [Spring-Centric Technical Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyke-1.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Urban Explorer-Centric Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topologie-1.md) - [Urban Functional Fall Techwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp-company-2.md) - [Winter Apparel Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyone-tokyo-fallwinter-2025.md)
