The editorial highlights the collection's [technical pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/episode-7-collection) with the concept in mind of redefining what traditional apparel means. The photoshoot's setting takes place at [Simon Fraser University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-sport-glasses) and it is intricately chosen due to its brutalist architecture by Arthur Erickson. The frames that the architecture creates perfectly integrate itself in contrast to the bold cuts and shapes of the pieces in the new CMMN SWDN collection. Some standout items in the seasonal range include the largely fitted Check Roman Technical Jacket, the Storm Cargo pants with multiple pockets, and the dyed wool Spor Sergey shirt. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 11% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Nostalgic Future Fashion:** Explore the concept of Nostalgic Future in fashion by redefining traditional apparel with technical pieces. - **Brutalist Architecture in Fashion:** Incorporate the bold cuts and shapes of fashion pieces with the stark and contrasting aesthetics of brutalist architecture. - **Technical Fashion Photography:** Showcase fashion collections that feature technical pieces through carefully selected settings and architecture. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** Revolutionize traditional fashion by incorporating technical elements and embracing the Nostalgic Future concept. - **Retail:** Create unique fashion experiences by curating fashion collections that juxtapose the aesthetics of brutalist architecture. - **Photography:** Capture the essence of technical fashion through carefully selected settings and architecture, highlighting the blend of technical apparel and design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Premium Technical Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mm6-maison-margiela-and-salomon.md) - [Urban Functional Fall Techwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp-company-2.md) - [Spring Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoldwall-5.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Earth-Honoring Fall-Ready Technical Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanamica-4.md) - [Modular Fw26 Tech Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hh118389225-4.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Spring-Ready Technical Danish Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fce-2.md) - [Conceptual Memory-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25.md)
