# Knotted Disheveled Fashion The Junya Watanabe Spring Collection References Free-Spirited Cultures By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-10-21 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junya-watanabe-spring References: [style](http://www.style.com/fashion-shows/spring-2014-ready-to-wear/junya-watanabe) & [pinterest](http://www.pinterest.com/okiesweetie708/junya-watanabe/) The [Junya Watanabe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junya-watanabe-man-x-reigning-champ) Spring 2014 RTW collection may not have true ready-to-wear appeal for everyone, but the garments and headpieces would certainly help to set you apart from anyone else on the street. The collection has a [loose, carefree style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026) that seems to be reminiscent of elements from hippie culture and the way nature has a tendency to overtake anything in its path if it is left on its own to grow. The collection features plenty of [tassels, fringes and dreadlock-like pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) that hang from long tunic shapes that could be just as easily worn by men and women. Despite looking a little messy and disheveled, the collection is spot-on with its references to all sorts of points in the past. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 71% | 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) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Disheveled Fashion:** Opportunity to create more eco-friendly, sustainable fashion that still captures the effortless beauty of 'disheveled' looks. - **Cultural Reference Collections:** Opportunity to create fashion collections that reference and celebrate diverse cultures and their fashion traditions. - **Gender-neutral Fashion:** Opportunity to create more clothing items that are versatile for all genders, without conforming to traditional gender stereotypes. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry by creating sustainable, culturally-referenced, gender-neutral fashion collections. - **Textile:** Opportunity for textile innovators to create new materials that mimic the 'disheveled' look while still being eco-friendly and sustainable. - **Retail:** Opportunity to build and market access for new fashion styles for urban and rural customers to break the conventional fashion trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Laid-Back Modernwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Highly Limited Garment Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junya-watanabe-man-x-reigning-champ.md) - [Conceptual Memory-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25.md)
