Don't get me wrong, I won't wear them, but I think they're absolutely fabulous. The Clare Lopeman AW10 line was inspired by "a classic Soviet dressmaking book '100 Dresses' which reflect French 50s couture silhouettes and shapes," according to Style Bubble. The frames themselves were modeled after a pair of [Soviet-era testing glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-retro-collection). With [structured cuts and geometric patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-1), this CSM BA grad will definitely be making a name for herself. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Odd Eyewear:** Designing and producing unique and unconventional eyewear for fashion-forward individuals. - **Geometric Patterns:** Incorporating geometric patterns into fashion designs for a modern and avant-garde look. - **Soviet-inspired Fashion:** Exploring the influence of Soviet-era fashion on contemporary clothing collections. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessories:** Developing and manufacturing innovative and eccentric eyewear designs for fashion-centric consumers. - **Fashion Design:** Exploring and integrating geometric patterns and unconventional inspirations into fashion collections. - **Vintage Fashion:** Reviving and reimagining Soviet-era fashion styles for a contemporary audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eclectic Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-eyewear-collection.md) - [Warped Dynamic New-Gen Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vern-morph-and-form.md) - [Whimsical Premium Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-collection.md) - [Bug-Like Avant-Garde Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-01.md) - [Versatile Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framery.md) - [Futuristic Eyewear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futuristic-eyewear1.md) - [Tech Futuristic Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culture-refined.md) - [Timeless Statement Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frances-valentine-x-caddis-eyewear.md) - [Stunning 3D-Printed Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-sunglasses1.md)
