A 22 year old fashion designer, Nahum Villasana of Baja California, Mexico just released his version of [Architectural Clothes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louther-x-carhartt-wip-fw25). Mechanical Connection, Vol. II is the name of their new collection. Unusual to say the least, some very cool to say the most. I think there must be instructions on how to "install" this clothing.

**Implications** - Designers are playing around with the [architecture of clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection) increasingly. A [tailored look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/observe) gives the illusion of being dressed for success -- a welcome aesthetic in just turbulent financial times. Businesses that offer their customers something to take pride in or improve their disposition will increase their opportunities to connect with consumers.
