# Futuristic Pastel Menswear Xevi Fernández Debuted Fresh Looks at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-09-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-week-madrid References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/xevi-fernandez-springsummer-2017/) & [xevifernandez](http://www.xevifernandez.com/) Xevi Fernández's Spring/Summer 2017 series was first seen at [Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amg-parfum) and supplies simplistic colorways with highly modern cuts -- making for versatile apparel that grants its wearer a little extra attention. Like in his Fall/Winter 2016 series, Xevi Fernández shows his love for pastels, infusing them into each look to varying degrees. In doing so, he seems to embrace a sense of femininity in his menswear. This is made especially clear in some of the flowing pieces that he presents -- with one example being an airy pair of light pink cropped pants. In addition, his models at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid flaunted a sort of abstract floral print on many pieces, however most others took on structured and monochrome looks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pastel Menswear:** Fashion designers can focus on incorporating pastel colors in their menswear collections, providing more options for men's fashion choices. - **Modern Cuts:** The fashion industry could embrace modern cuts in their designs, allowing for more diverse and futuristic garments. - **Abstract Floral Print:** Designers can explore incorporating abstract floral prints in their collections, adding a fresh twist to traditional floral prints. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can innovate their designs with unique and modern elements, providing more options for consumers and keeping up with current trends. - **Textile:** Textile industries can experiment with new fabric dyes and prints to create unique patterns that can be used in the fashion industry. - **Retail:** Retail companies can stock more versatile and attention-grabbing menswear collections, appealing to a wider range of customers and attracting new demographics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Laid-Back Modernwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Workwear-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-springsummer-2024.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Fabric-Centric Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-nation-5.md)
