Combining elements of both formalwear and sportswear, the edgy designer dresses his models in remixed suit sets that put focus on interesting textiles, optical prints and architectural silhouettes. This collection is the opposite of expected thanks to the designer's exploration of youthfully modern styling that shines a light on fitted shapes that are fused with oversized elements. This subtly layered menswear line also merges the comfort of athletic attire with the sophistication of traditional suiting. Moreover, the Kilian Kerner Spring/Summer 2014 collection endorses comfort and presents its audience with a fresh vision of formalwear that is designed with a new generation of style-setters in mind. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 18% | 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 - **Remixed Formalwear:** Opportunity for designers to blend formalwear and sportswear, creating edgy and modern clothing collections. - **Youthful Modern Styling:** Chance for fashion brands to explore youthful and modern styling, combining fitted shapes with oversized elements. - **Comfortable Formalwear:** Potential for designers to create formalwear that merges the comfort of athletic attire with the sophistication of traditional suiting. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can leverage the trend of remixed formalwear to create innovative and modern clothing lines. - **Sportswear:** Opportunity for sportswear brands to collaborate with formalwear designers and incorporate elements of formalwear into their collections. - **Luxury Menswear:** Luxury menswear brands can capitalize on the trend of comfortable formalwear by offering sophisticated yet comfortable clothing options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Workwear-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-springsummer-2024.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Laid-Back Modernwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md)
