Experimental Couture Collections

Ronald Van Der Kemp's Spring 2018 Inspiration is Multifold

— January 26, 2018 — Luxury
It is hard to pinpoint exactly what Ronald van der Kemp had in mind with his extremely experimental couture collection for Spring 2018. It seems the designer has drawn inspiration from a number of social trends and culture-specific traditional wear.

The yellow-frilled and metallic fabrics, combined with the dominant color palette of the makeup, give off a futuristic and extraterrestrial element, while the bright red gown and evident assertiveness of the model mimics femme fatale seductiveness. The Grunge era is captured in black leathery designs, pop culture is present with a subtle reference to the Bride of Frankenstein and traditional wear is present with Mexican-inspired patterns and Eastern European ethnic gowns.

The Ronald van der Kemp's 2018 experimental couture collection truly is an amalgamation of various haute couture inspirations.
Trend Themes
1. Experimental Couture - Opportunity for fashion designers to push the boundaries of traditional fashion and create avant-garde pieces that challenge conventional beauty standards.
2. Futuristic Fashion - Emerging trend that combines metallic fabrics, bright colors, and unconventional designs to create a futuristic and extraterrestrial aesthetic.
3. Cultural Fusion - Opportunity to incorporate elements from different cultures and traditional wear to create unique and eclectic fashion collections.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion designers to experiment with new materials, silhouettes, and techniques to create daring and groundbreaking couture collections.
2. Beauty and Makeup - Opportunity for makeup artists and cosmetic companies to explore and create bold and vibrant makeup looks that complement the avant-garde nature of experimental couture.
3. Textile and Fabric Manufacturing - Opportunity to develop and produce innovative fabrics and materials that can be used in experimental couture, such as metallic fabrics or fabrics inspired by traditional textiles from different cultures.
