# Mars-Inspired Menswear Collections The Karolina Fromholtz 'DICHOTOMIC' Line Boasts Vanguard Pieces By Jana Pijak | Published 2015-11-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karolina-fromholtz References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/dichotomic/) & [karolinafromholtz](http://www.karolinafromholtz.com/) Titled 'DICHOTOMIC,' the Karolina Fromholtz graduate collection highlights futuristic menswear pieces. A graduate of [Barcelona's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-wear-collection) IED institute, the designer experiments with proportion and creates menswear pieces that are artistic while being wearable. Showcased in a catalog by photographer Anatol Gottfried, this collection is lensed in a snowy setting that resembles the icy surfaces of Mars. Resembling something out of a sci-fi film, this photoshoot's setting is cinematic and stark. Styling for this lookbook is courtesy of Karolina Fromholtz and Andres Caicedo who dress a cast of models in [cocooned knits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear) and [sculptural coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection) -- accented with sculptural shoulder and neckline accents. Working with a blend of leather, felt and weatherproof fabrics, designer Karolina Fromholtz translates her futuristic vision into clothes that marry function with modernity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Futuristic Menswear:** Design collections featuring artistic but wearable menswear pieces with futuristic overtones and unexpected blend of fabrics. - **Proportion Experimentations:** Experimenting with proportion of menswear pieces. - **Snowy Setting Fashion Photoshoots:** Creating a cinematic and stark snowy setting for fashion photoshoots. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Apparel Industry:** Creating a unique and inspired futuristic menswear collection using an unexpected blend of fabrics for the fashion and apparel industry. - **Photography and Videography Industry:** Using unique and cinematic settings for fashion photoshoots to capture the essence of futuristic stylish menswear. - **Design Industry:** Experimenting with proportion and design to create wearable futuristic menswear inspired by the icy surfaces of Mars for the design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Seaside-Influenced Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fort-2.md) - [Fall Technical Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atom-collection.md) - [Arty Knitwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear.md) - [Contemporary Fall-Centric Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latimmier.md) - [Modular Fall-Ready Layered Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcs-2.md) - [Dark Forest-Inspired In-House Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ka-yoprototype.md)
