Designer Ildikó Kele has created a line of folklore fashions for the Spring/Summer 2016. This clothing line was inspired by a Hungarian folklore tale called Green Peter, a story that follows a shepherd boy whose one desire is to marry a princess.

Inspired by this story, the designer created folklore fashions for both males and females. The tale of Green Peter incorporates numerous elements of plants and wildlife that are portrayed throughout Kele's collection.

For example, the collection includes seasonally appropriate images of fish, birds and [floral roses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-x-highgrove), which constantly appear on the line's garments. Kele's collection also focuses on casual styles that make use of light colors and solid block patterns. The collection includes [dresses, skirts, tops, pants and shorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow).
