# Eclectic Seafaring Fashion The Pedro Lourenco SS12 Collection is Intricately Layered By Meghan Young | Published 2012-06-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedro-lourenco-ss12-collection References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/pedro-lourenco-ss12/) & [ln-cc](http://www.ln-cc.com/womens-brands/pedro-lourenco-/icat/pedro-lourenco-womens/) From the use of ropes and wood to high collars and tattered skirts, the Pedro Lourenco SS12 Collection seems made for a seafaring adventure. In fact, it seems made for a female captain, one who hasn't left her fashionable sensibilities on land. Yes, the high heels may not seem practical on the deck of a ship at sea, but that's not the point at all, now is it. At just 21 years of age, the [Brazilian designer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vero-25) is quickly proving his worth with designs like the ones found in the Pedro Lourenco SS12 Collection. He has a particular focus on construction and intricate detailing that sets him apart from other designers. Eclectic and slightly eccentric, his shoes are a combination of wooden pegs and rope while other pieces are creatively layered. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Seafaring Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and functional seafaring fashion that combines practicality with intricate design. - **Intricate Detailing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate advanced technology and 3D printing techniques to create intricately detailed fashion pieces. - **Creative Layering:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and techniques to create innovative and customizable layered fashion pieces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with technology companies to integrate wearable tech into fashion design, creating smart and functional garments. - **Shoe Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and eco-friendly shoe manufacturing processes that utilize unconventional materials. - **Textile Production:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement sustainable and ethical practices in textile production, utilizing recycled materials and reducing waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coastal Beach-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voile-blanche.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Brazilian Craft-Inspired Handmade Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vero-25.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Randomness-Inspired Designer Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-in-chaos.md)
