Sunday Style Australia's latest editorial, 'The Clash,' highlights this popular fad, demonstrating that combining [clashing prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-spade-and-target) does not necessarily compromise fashion. The editorial stars the hippie-esque model Olivia Thronton, dressed in several ensembles featuring loud and lighthearted prints. Her most stunning outfit consists of a pair of black pants, with highlighter-yellow lines snaking across their surface, paired with a bright pink cardigan, and topped off with a red belt and a [chunky black statement necklace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porridge-dress). The blending of patterns seen in this outfit creates a laissez-faire attitude, while showcasing some [cutting edge fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) that will definitely turn heads wherever the wearer goes. With 'The Clash,' Sunday Style Australia has proven that daring to be different really does pay off. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Print Clash Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to experiment with combining clashing prints and create unique, eye-catching designs. - **Quirky Style:** Potential for retailers to cater to the demand for unconventional fashion by offering quirky and eclectic clothing options. - **Laissez-faire Attitude:** Opportunity for designers to embrace a carefree, mixed-print aesthetic and promote a relaxed, bohemian style. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Retail:** Retailers can take advantage of the popularity of print clash fashion to attract customers with a diverse range of bold, unconventional clothing. - **Fashion Design:** Designers can explore new possibilities by blending clashing prints, creating innovative collections that stand out in the industry. - **Fashion Editorial:** Fashion magazines can feature articles and editorials that highlight the art of print clash fashion, inspiring readers to experiment with bold fashion choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Brand Refresh Preview Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheap-monday-event.md) - [Playful Spring-Forward Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Refreshed Expressive Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheap-monday-relaunch.md) - [Spring Fashion Blooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md)
