Retrofuturistic Grunge Fashion

The New Referential Transparency Collection Prepares for SS19

— April 23, 2019 — Fashion
Sartorial label HELIOT EMIL by brothers Victor and Julius Juul launch its latest Referential Transparency collection in time for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The provocative designs are inspired by the underground culture of Copenhagen, capturing the same retrofuturistic concepts that the brand often embodies.

The new collection turns its attention to computer programming concepts and the expression that references " “a function is said to be referentially transparent if it’s replaceable.” This is translated through a variety of fabrication secured by Japanese-manufactured hardware. Some of the unique fabrication that is incorporated throughout the entire collection include heat-sensitive thermos in gray, black, or more and semi-translucent white hues. Notably, the silhouettes this season begin to broaden out, stepping into the territory of womenswear for Spring/Summer 2019.
Trend Themes
1. Retrofuturistic Grunge Fashion - Opportunity for designers to explore the fusion of vintage and futuristic elements in fashion, creating unique and edgy styles.
2. Referential Transparency Collection - Potential for fashion brands to incorporate computer programming concepts into their designs, reflecting a technologically inspired aesthetic.
3. Broadening Silhouettes - Chance for designers to expand their target market by incorporating elements of womenswear into traditionally menswear-focused collections.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion and Apparel - Fashion brands can tap into the retrofuturistic grunge trend by creating clothing and accessories that capture the fusion of vintage and futuristic elements.
2. Design and Technology - Opportunity for designers and technologists to collaborate and explore how computer programming concepts can be translated into innovative fashion designs.
3. Gender-inclusive Fashion - Fashion brands can cater to a broader range of customers by integrating elements of both menswear and womenswear into their collections, providing more diverse and inclusive options.
