# Edgy Park Ranger Runways The Liam Hodges Spring/Summer 2015 Collection is Fit for Outdoor Living By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-06-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liam-hodges References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/man-liam-hodges-springsummer-2015/) & [liamhodges](http://www.liamhodges.co.uk/) Liam Hodges showcased his Spring/Summer 2015 menswear collection at the [MAN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needle-lifts) runway event during the London Collections: Men fashion week. "MAN is the joint initiative between Topman and [Fashion East](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snake-game) and is a platform for emerging designers who are selected by a panel of buyers, stylists and journalists including Nicola Formichetti, Charlie Porter and Tim Blanks." Once chosen, these designers are mentored by fashion experts and given a bursary to create their latest line. Looking to the great outdoors for its inspiration, this line of menswear highlights park ranger ensembles that are made up of heavy-duty capes, weather-proof outerwear and over-sized hat accessories. Moreover, the latest from Liam Hodges includes south-western tapestry textiles and scout badge accents that match the collection's ongoing outdoorsy theme. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 54% | 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Outdoor-inspired Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore creating menswear collections that draw inspiration from the great outdoors, incorporating park ranger ensembles, weather-proof outerwear, and scout badge accents. - **Functional Accessories:** There is an opportunity for accessory designers to create oversized hat accessories that are not only stylish but also provide functionality and protection from the elements. - **Textured Textiles:** Fashion designers can experiment with south-western tapestry textiles to add a unique and edgy touch to their collections, offering consumers a more diverse range of fabric options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can embrace the outdoor-inspired trend by incorporating park ranger ensembles, weather-proof outerwear, and scout badge accents into their menswear collections. - **Accessory Design:** Accessory designers have the opportunity to create functional and stylish oversized hat accessories that provide protection from the elements. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can explore producing south-western tapestry textiles to cater to the increasing demand for unique and textured fabrics in the fashion industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seasonal Change Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transition-collection.md) - [Versatile Summer-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Fabric-Centric Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-nation-5.md) - [Americana-Inspired Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-stories-americana.md) - [Outdoor Apparel Collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-and-sky-high-farm-goods.md) - [Contemporary Fall-Centric Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latimmier.md)
