Experimental film inspiration is the driving force of [Namacheko's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namacheko-1) Spring/Summer 2020 collection which debuted earlier this week. The entire capsule is centered around fostering a visually stimulating connection through powerful kaleidoscoping patterns, daring use of material, and a playful approach to form that takes little consideration of pre-established boundaries.

Namacheko's [experimental film inspiration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tiger) is namely 'Koyaanisqatsi' — an iconic 1982 movie which was directed by Godfrey Reggio. The plot is composed of a series of visual montages and, as a result, a fashion reinterpretation of the cinematic artifact can work spectacularly.

The Spring/Summer 2020 collection features "[loud pops of color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set)" to further captivate the attention of attendees, while the silhouettes vary in styling aesthetic — some are left boxy and others have been carefully tailored.
