Interestingly, it was inspired by the work of German industrial designer Dieter Rams, who is famous for a set of austere record players and radios made for [Braun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-wireless-speaker) in the late 50s and 60s. "Playing with a ladylike aesthetic with a new set of eye," he states, he references the Rams' chalky, neutral palette and understated plastic- or leather-covered hardware. [Clean and minimalist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-core), the Jason Wu Resort 2015 collection is a departure from his previous lines.
