These snaps from the Daniel Palillo Spring/Summer 2010 'Renaissance' collection reveal that [punk fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms), skulls and cutouts aren't going anywhere. With an understated palette of nude, black and white, this series shows that you don't need bright colors to make a style statement.

**Implications** - The last few years have seen the [hipster subculture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet) move towards the mainstream and become an influence in fashion designs. One of the best ways a company or brand can capitalize on this movement is by clothing that is traditional, but has hipster influence. By maintaining a sense of tradition, the brand does not become a part of the fad.
