# Maritime-Inspired Fashion The Marchesa Voyage Fall 2014 Collection is Inspired by the High Seas By Meghan Young | Published 2014-02-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marchesa-voyage-fall-2014 References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/lookbook/b--marchesa-voyage-aw-14-look-book-72009.html) & [marchesa](http://www.marchesa.com) The Marchesa Voyage Fall 2014 collection is at once vibrant and subdued. This has much to do with the fact that the clothing is anchored by a recurring black palette that gives the vibrant hues a richer undertone. Yet the indigo blues, canary yellows and ruby reds still exude a brightness that nothing can tamper with. Inspired by the maritimes, the Marchesa Voyage Fall 2014 collection takes people on an exciting journey on the high seas. A combination of practical and beautiful, it addresses both parts of the journey, from the time on choppy waters to the discovery of much-deserved treasure. Designed by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, the Marchesa Voyage Fall 2014 collection is a more affordable alternative to the original Marchesa line. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 58% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Maritime-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity to create a line of affordable maritime-inspired fashion that captures the vibrancy of the high seas. - **Recurring Black Palette:** Opportunity to incorporate a recurring black palette in fashion collections, adding a richer undertone to vibrant hues. - **Practical and Beautiful:** Opportunity to design fashion collections that are both practical and beautiful, addressing the needs of consumers during different parts of their journey. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to explore and incorporate maritime-inspired designs into their collections. - **Affordable Alternative:** Opportunity to create more affordable alternatives to high-end fashion lines, making luxury fashion more accessible to a wider consumer base. - **Maritime Tourism:** Opportunity for the maritime tourism industry to collaborate with fashion brands, offering themed fashion collections that enhance the overall experience for travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Sailing Race-Inspired Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/americas-cup-barcelona.md) - [Uniform-Inspired Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-drama-school.md) - [Resort-Ready Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-oliver.md) - [Island-Inspired Summer Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer.md)
