# Dapper Surfer Runways The Julien David Spring/Summer 2015 Show Displays Edgy Suited Styles By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-06-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julien-david References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/julien-david-springsummer-2015/) & [juliendavid](http://juliendavid.com/) Julien David unveiled his Spring/Summer 2015 collection during Paris Fashion Week. The designer looked to Californian surfer dudes as one of his main inspirations and presented his fans with a collection of refined menswear pieces with a grunge twist. When referencing relaxed, Californian looks, the designer refined sporty surfer staples with an infusion of understated formalwear. Relaxed tailoring, oversized suit jackets and eye-catching bow-tie accessories were some of this collection’s most memorable pieces that transformed surfer dudes into effortlessly cool gentleman. While surfer looks have been all the rage for the last few seasons, the Julien David Spring/Summer 2015 collection translates this inspiration in an unexpected way. Instead of focusing solely on sporty casuals, the designer’s latest line blends the comfort of sportswear with the sophistication of formalwear looks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Surfer-inspired Formalwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of refined menswear pieces that combine the comfort of sportswear with the sophistication of formalwear. - **Oversized Suit Jackets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design oversized suit jackets that add a grunge twist to traditional formalwear. - **Bow-tie Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop eye-catching bow-tie accessories that can elevate casual looks and add a touch of sophistication. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce a new category of clothing that merges sportswear and formalwear to create versatile and stylish menswear. - **Surfing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion designers to create surf-inspired clothing that can be worn beyond the beach. - **Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design innovative bow-tie accessories that cater to the growing demand for unique and statement-making fashion accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Laid-Back Modernwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Bold Playful Summer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duvin-design-co.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Vintage Miami Beachwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-2024-menswear-collection.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md)
