The designer's latest showing left audience members in awe thanks to a range of modernized ensembles that looked to the past for their inspiration. This range of remixed, [retro streetwear looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/episode-7-collection) included standouts like full denim jumpsuits, [leather bomber jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marty-supreme) and Trekkie-inspired separates that were showcased in a powder blue fabric. The Mevan Kaluarachchi Spring/Summer 2015 runway show replaced the "Saturday Night Fever" flair of the 70's with fresh and youthful cuts that were an understated take on the era's styles. From leather lapel accents to sleeveless puffy shirt garments, this diverse collection captured the spirit and essence of the disco-themed and denim-clad decade. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: 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) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Retro Revival Fashion:** Designers are infusing past fashion trends with modern twists to create new styles for customers who appreciate vintage aesthetics. - **Nostalgia-inspired Clothing:** The trend of using designs from the past has consumers seeking garments that evoke memories of a different era. - **Streetwear Evolution:** Streetwear continues to evolve, with designers revamping classic styles to create fresh and modern looks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** By harnessing the power of nostalgia, fashion designers can create unique pieces that appeal to consumers and elevate brands. - **Retail:** Retailers who keep up with the latest retro fashion trends can increase sales by providing customers with sought-after, vintage-inspired apparel. - **Marketing:** Marketing agencies can capitalize on the popularity of retro styles by incorporating elements of nostalgia into their campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Summer-Inspired Vibrant Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-rebel.md) - [Elevated Grunge Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/express-to-mars.md) - [Luxurious Spring-Ready Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambush-5.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Workwear-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-springsummer-2024.md) - [Versatile Summer-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1.md) - [Retro Sports Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marty-supreme.md)
