Wantanabe displayed a knack for creating an exciting collection that was bold and eccentric. The motif was out of this world with an almost robotic or alien-like, futuristic look. Lime greens and vibrant oranges added [bold detailing to the sleek designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1) making for an [edgy take on sportswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time). Perhaps the most stand-out pieces were those that incorporated couture and active-wear, such as the rayon knee-length dresses with paneling for an avant-garde twist.
