The Julien Fournie SS 2012 collection premiered at Paris fashion week, boasting avant-garde styled pieces and plenty of character. The line is anything but traditional, with frequent use of zippers, sheer fabrics and shimmering details. It also included a slew of bright colors in perfect combination with neutrals to tone down the wild silhouettes. Fun pieces included were a sheer plastic geisha-inspired zipper dress, a neon-yellow neck tutu and a floor-length tube dress with leather detailing and rubber fringing. Despite the wildly futuristic theme of the show, some pieces are wearable. The series includes mini-dresses in futuristic colors, which could easily be incorporated into everyday attire. A super fun piece on the wearable side is a pink silk mini-dress with a monk crossover collar. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Avant-garde Fashion:** Exploring daring and unconventional styles in the fashion industry opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation. - **Sheer Fabrics and Shimmering Details:** The use of sheer fabrics and shimmering details in fashion design presents possibilities for disruptive innovation in textile manufacturing and embellishment techniques. - **Futuristic Colors and Silhouettes:** Embracing futuristic colors and silhouettes in fashion design creates avenues for disruptive innovation in garment construction and materials. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** The avant-garde nature of the Julien Fournie SS 2012 collection suggests potential disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion design industry. - **Textile Manufacturing:** The use of sheer fabrics and shimmering details in the collection highlights potential disruptive innovation opportunities in textile manufacturing. - **Garment Construction:** The incorporation of futuristic colors and silhouettes in the collection signals potential disruptive innovation opportunities in garment construction and materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Bright Color-Based Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md)
