The Forme D'Expression Spring/Summer 2010 collection follows the apocalyptic theme of [dark-hued draped fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) we saw for fall and winter. With a palette of largely black and gray, the line features draped coats, flowing scarves and hooded jackets.

**Implications** - Draped fashion has made its transition towards men with brands showing off their interpretations of this modern style. These long, layered outfits bring a completely different style that males may have never approached unless it were updated. With [androgynous fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) as a staple for style fans everywhere, brands may redefine the meaning of fashion for gender.
