# Designer Dinosaur Lookbooks The Ricardo Andrez Spring/Summer 2012 Line is Ferocious By John Ibbitson | Published 2012-02-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ricardo-andrez-spring-summer-2012 References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/ricardo-andrez-springsummer-2012-lookbook/) The Ricardo Andrez Spring/Summer 2012 lookbook takes a bite out of fashion and presents its contemporary designer duds in a setting that celebrates history and tradition, that is, the museum. Graphical and [geometric-printed casual wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026) done in soft, subtle hues and monocromatics combined with edgier pieces, like a singlet, [leather pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time) and garment with slit cutouts, give this striking collection a modern, yet refined, feel. Perhaps it is the combination of these two style aesthetics that served as the inspiration for photographing the line in the [dinosaur and nature exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelquantum-360-i-amp) of a museum. If you want to feel like on object on display as well, then there may be no better way to draw some attention to yourself than with some pieces featured in the Ricardo Andrez Spring/Summer 2012 lookbook. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Geometric-printed Casual Wear:** Opportunity for designers to explore new prints and patterns in casual wear, combining graphical and geometric elements for a modern twist. - **Museum-inspired Fashion Shoots:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create unique and memorable lookbooks by choosing unconventional locations like museums, blending history and tradition with contemporary fashion. - **Modern and Refined Collections:** Opportunity for designers to create collections that combine edgier elements with soft and subtle hues, offering a modern yet refined aesthetic. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can explore innovative prints, patterns, and color combinations for casual wear. - **Photography:** Photographers can seek out unconventional locations, like museums, for fashion shoots to create visually striking imagery. - **Museum and Exhibition Management:** Museums can collaborate with fashion brands to host unique and creative fashion shoots and exhibitions, attracting new audiences to their spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biomimetic Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Laid-Back Modernwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026.md) - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Locker Room-Inspired Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-locker-room.md)
