The line was made up of relaxed, yet structured, silhouettes – think slouchy trousers, belted vests, loose-fitting dresses and billowing blouses. One of the floral-inspired looks was a silky kimono-inspired floral vest paired with retro, circular glasses and [loose pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein). Another standalone piece was the structured tribal-printed jackets. As for the gold accents, there was a simple white dress adorned with ruched gold detailing on the sides from the hips downward, a gold lamé skirt with ruched detailing around the entire garment and an ornately patterned gold walking the runway. Overall the show pulsated with a vibe of sophisticated opulence and showcased looks with volumized structure. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Floral Print Clothing:** The use of bold floral prints in clothing is a growing trend to watch, with potential for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry. - **Gold Accented Fashion:** The use of gold accents in fashion is becoming more popular, presenting opportunities for disruptive innovation in the luxury apparel market. - **Structured Silhouettes:** Structured yet relaxed silhouettes, like those seen in the Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2014 Collection, are a trend to watch in the fashion industry with potential for disruption in the design and manufacturing process. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from keeping an eye on the trends of bold prints, gold accents, and structured silhouettes that have emerged from the Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2014 Collection. - **Luxury Apparel:** The use of gold accents in high-end clothing, as seen in the Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2014 Collection, presents an opportunity for brands to differentiate themselves and disrupt the luxury apparel market. - **Textile Design & Manufacturing:** The trend towards structured yet relaxed silhouettes in clothing, as seen in the Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2014 Collection, creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in textile design and manufacturing processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Bold Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruceglen.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Bold Suede Fashionable Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dries-van-noten-suede-sneaker.md) - [Floral-Imbued Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent.md) - [Ethereal Juxtaposing Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystic-moss.md)
