Thakoon introduced new shapes and silhouettes, with an inspiration leaning towards Japanese kimonos, as well as delicate plissé pleats that see the double-teamed print dresses softly draped around the models like clouds. **Implications** - Consumers have a strong inclination to see new forms emerge that reflect the perception of the future that they have seen reflected in movies. These stems from the over-appropriation of elements of previous generations that has occurred over the past decade. Companies draw these customers in by creating new forms and prizing original design concepts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Double-teamed Prints:** Designers can create new garments using double-teamed prints and experiment with shapes and silhouettes for an innovative collection. - **Kimono-inspired Clothing:** Designers can incorporate traditional Japanese kimono styles, such as delicate pleats and draping, into new clothing collections for a unique and fresh look. - **Romantic Resort Wear:** Fashion brands can expand their collections to include romantic resort wear, offering consumers a wider variety of easily-wearable, yet fashionable pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate double-teamed prints, Japanese kimono styles, and romantic resort wear into their collections to stay on-trend and innovative in the industry. - **Textiles:** Textile manufacturers can develop new fabrics and prints that lend themselves to double-teaming and delicate pleats, offering designers more options for unique garments. - **Film & TV:** Film and TV production companies can continue to set the stage for the future by developing new visuals, styles, and aesthetics for upcoming projects that inspire fashion designers to experiment with new forms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Shape-Shifting Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-dress.md) - [Couture Color Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-dualities.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Elegant Easy-to-Wear Shirt Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirt-dress-collection.md) - [Bold Playful Summer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duvin-design-co.md) - [Cheerful Spring-Ready Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diane-von-furstenberg-1.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Spring-Centric Technical Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyke-1.md)
