# Macabre-Themed Menswear Hyein Seo's New SS18 Collection Centers Around Hardware Embellishments By Amy Duong | Published 2018-03-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyein-seo References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/3/hyein-seo-spring-summer-2018-collection-lookbookpeppe) & [017shop](https://017shop.ca/collections/mens-hyein-seo) Designer Hyein Seo takes a step away from her previous tech-focused collection and draws from a macabre theme for her Spring/Summer 2018 line. The newest seasonal range is entitled 'Don't Deliver Us From Evil' and takes on a dark theme that highlights bold graphic details and hardware accents. Hyein Seo continues to deliver streetwear silhouettes through the capsule's reworked staples, seen through the alteration of simple tones and longer cuts. The Don't Deliver Us From Evil collection is also comprised of a range of accessories on top of the apparel offerings. Some standout items in the new series include the Layered Lab Coat in a washed out hue, the ethnic accented Cross Bag, and the Slashed T-shirt that boasts unique cuts throughout the front and bottom of the shirt. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Macabre-themed Menswear:** An opportunity for designers and clothing brands to explore dark themes and bold graphic details in their apparel offerings. - **Hardware Embellishments:** The use of hardware accents and unique cuts in clothing designs is a disruptive innovation opportunity. - **Accessory Offerings:** Designers can explore creating accessory lines in addition to their apparel offerings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can incorporate macabre themes and hardware accents in their clothing designs. - **Design:** Designers can experiment with unique cuts and hardware embellishments in their apparel and accessory offerings. - **Retail:** Retailers can feature macabre-themed menswear and related accessories as part of their product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Reconstructive Streetwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ys-for-men-x-masses.md) - [Spring-Centric Technical Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyke-1.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Stealthy Modern Monochromatic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection.md) - [Spring Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoldwall-5.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Elevated Grunge Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/express-to-mars.md) - [Luxurious Spring-Ready Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambush-5.md)
