# Eccentric Raver Fashion The Nicopandas Fall/winter 2015 Collection is Inspired by Nightlife By Jana Pijak | Published 2015-02-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raver-fashion References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/nicopanda-fw15-presentation/) & [nicopanda](http://nicopanda.com/) Nicola Formichetti's Nicopandas Fall/Winter 2015 collection was an homage to rave fashion and was showcased at an intimate New York Fashion Week presentation. The menswear range drew inspiration from alternative youth culture and nightlife. Its standout looks were its over-saturated jumpsuits, its over-sized sweaters and its equally vibrant outerwear staples. Paired with highlighter-hued and monochromatic wigs, these outfits stood out and embodied an eccentric aesthetic. Nicola Formichetti is a multi-talented fashion icon who is consistently pushing style boundaries. Known as the fashion director of [Vogue Hommes Japan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care) and for his work at houses like [Mugler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mugler1) and [Diesel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humansized-egg-installation), Formichetti returns with yet another daring and dynamic collection. From its theatrical wigs to its raver fashion staples, this range pushed boundaries in a way that reflected its designer's signature style sense. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Rave Fashionrevival:** The resurgence of rave fashion in contemporary collections presents opportunities for brands to tap into the nostalgia-driven market. - **Eccentric Aesthetics:** The embrace of eccentric fashion and bold aesthetics allows designers to experiment with unconventional styles and push creative boundaries. - **Youth Culture Influence:** The incorporation of alternative youth culture and nightlife themes in fashion collections speaks to the influence of younger generations and their preferences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the rave fashion trend by incorporating bright colors, oversized silhouettes, and theatrical elements into their designs. - **Wig Industry:** The demand for highlighter-hued and monochromatic wigs as seen in the Nicopandas collection presents an opportunity for the wig industry to cater to the eccentric fashion market. - **Event Management:** The resurgence of rave culture and nightlife-inspired fashion provides opportunities for event management companies to organize themed events and parties that cater to this niche market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Conceptual Memory-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25.md) - [Fall-Ready Explorative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-heritage.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md)
