# Artistically Sculptural Menswear The Damir Doma SS 2015 Seeks Artistic Inspiration By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-07-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/damir-doma-ss-2015 References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2014/07/03/silent-damir-doma-spring-summer-2015-lookbook/) & [damirdoma](http://www.damirdoma.com/en) The Damir Doma SS 2015 collection, titled 'SILENT,' takes its inspiration from the arts; most notably, the designers concerned themselves with how to reinterpret sculptural forms present throughout art history. A major influencer in the collection was Ellsworth Kelly, an American painter and sculptor who utilized color field painting. The designers at Damir Doma were inspired by his unassuming, simplistic aesthetic; they chose to translate the artist's graphic shapes and bold lines into the collection's [minimalist silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit). More nuance is given to the collection by way of texture, rather than color, which stays mostly neutral throughout. The collection is completed by [understated mineral graphics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couture-collection-2), which are printed on T-shirts and sweaters. Though the collection's [artistic inspiration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitesse) may go over most people's heads, the collection itself is so beautifully crafted, it is a work of art in its own right. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sculptural Fashion:** Fashion designers are taking inspiration from sculptural forms, creating minimalist silhouettes and adopting an understated aesthetic. - **Texture Over Color:** Designers are focusing on adding nuance to their collections using texture, rather than color, resulting in minimalistic and simplistic collections. - **Artistic Inspiration:** Fashion designers are using art as a creative inspiration for collections, resulting in beautifully crafted pieces with graphic shapes and bold lines. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from incorporating minimalist silhouettes, understated aesthetics, and textured fabrics into their collections. - **Art:** The art industry can explore how fashion designers interpret and reinterpret sculptural forms throughout art history to inspire new works. - **Graphic Design:** Graphic designers can apply the minimalistic and simplistic approach of sculptural fashion to their work, creating designs that are understated yet impactful. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Art-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitesse.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Laid-Back Modernwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026.md) - [Art-Inspired Streetwear Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-echoes.md)
