The range is designed in preparation for the Fall/Winter 2019 season and it draws inspiration from bucolic China's beauty. The dynamic designs blend both contemporary looks with heritage roots. There are pieces including [nylon tracksuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldwin-fw25), which draw attention to the 90s, along with Mandarin-clad sweaters for drapey looks, [large parka, and anoraks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andwander-fw25), as well as [bold sneaker designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-x-sacai) as well. Notably, the colorful designs border between tech wear and sportswear without swaying away from its Chinese sensibility. Liad Krispin explains that "with Li-Ning’s FW19 lookbook project, we wanted to examine the collection’s themes of exploration, of embarking on both a literal and figurative journey, but in a haphazard, lighthearted, and playful way.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **China-inspired Fashion:** There is an opportunity for fashion brands to explore and incorporate traditional Chinese designs and motifs into their collections, creating a unique and culturally rich aesthetic. - **Tech Wear/sportswear Fusion:** Sports apparel companies can experiment with blending sportswear and tech wear to create functional and stylish clothing for active consumers. - **Contemporary Heritage Fashion:** The fusion of contemporary and traditional designs in fashion can lead to the creation of unique, eye-catching clothing that appeals to modern consumers who appreciate cultural significance. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can incorporate traditional Chinese designs and create a hybrid fusion of contemporary and traditional designs to appeal to a modern audience. - **Sports Apparel:** Sports apparel companies can experiment with blending sportswear and tech wear to create functional and stylish clothing for active consumers. - **Chinese Heritage Tourism:** Using traditional Chinese designs in advertising and promotional material can promote and appeal to Chinese heritage tourism, creating a new avenue for tourism businesses. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant New Year-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-wang-2024.md) - [Lunar Craft Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-lunar-new-year.md) - [Urban Layered Outdoor Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andwander-fw25.md) - [Dynamic Sci-Fi Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects.md) - [Contemporary Fall-Centric Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latimmier.md) - [Chinese Luxury Brand Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zouxin.md) - [New Year-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-lunar-new-year-campaign.md) - [Festive Athletic Editions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lululemon-lunar-new-year.md) - [Minimalistic Activewear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-x-sacai.md)
