The celebratory range is comprised of 10 exclusive Ebru marble-patterned raincoats in a series of colorways. The captivating Ebru marble technique is often used in applying designs onto paper materials for book linings. Dries Van Noten implemented the attention-grabbing treatment to create visuals drawn from oil-based inks bleeding on a water surface, then transferred it. To experiment with the different watercolor marble looks, the designer explored 300 designs for the capsule. The limited-edition marble raincoats will be available for purchase beginning in August, with only 10 units of each color exclusively available at Dries Van Noten store locations in Tokyo, Paris, Antwerp and select retailers worldwide. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Marble-patterned Fashion:** The introduction of marble patterns in fashion presents an opportunity for designers to create unique and visually striking garments. - **Limited-edition Capsules:** The launch of limited-edition collections provides brands with a chance to generate excitement and exclusivity among customers. - **Non-traditional Material Application:** Exploring unconventional materials, like Ebru marble, in fashion opens up possibilities for innovative and unexpected designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can incorporate marble patterns into clothing and accessories to offer customers a fresh and distinctive style. - **Retail:** Retailers can leverage limited-edition capsules to create demand and drive sales by offering unique and exclusive products. - **Textile Manufacturing:** The application of non-traditional materials, such as Ebru marble, in the textile manufacturing industry can lead to the development of innovative fabric designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ethereal Juxtaposing Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystic-moss.md) - [Bold Suede Fashionable Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dries-van-noten-suede-sneaker.md) - [Rain-Inspired Glassware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/syksy.md) - [Fall Technical Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atom-collection.md) - [Watercolor Stone-Based Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquarel.md) - [Colorful Boldly Patterned Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yinka-ilori-1.md) - [Branded Rain-Themed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rain-experience.md) - [Reimagined Tie Dye Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tie-dye-collection.md) - [Spiced Aquatic Designer Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dries-van-noten-mystic-moss.md)
