# Leather-Clad Gladiator Attire ETXEBERRIA's Latest Runway Collection Boasts Unisex Styles By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-09-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runway-collection References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/etxeberria-springsummer-2015/#.VBBG1vldUV0) & [etxeberria.es](http://www.etxeberria.com.es/) The ETXEBERRIA Spring/Summer 2015 runway collection was presented during New York Fashion Week. Clad in a sea of leather fabrics, this menswear collection was unisex and conceptual in its aesthetic. Known for his bold point of view, the designer presented a collection he called “Pura Piel“ on the New York Fashion Week stage and blended together fur, leather and suede materials to create textural harmony. Looking to gladiator garb for his inspiration, the designer presented his fans with a range of eccentric and unexpected pieces. The styles were striking and wearable despite of their conceptual themes and shapes. Though leather is not the most breezy of summer materials, this runway collection proves that fashion often wins out against practicality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Leather-focused Fashion:** Opportunity for innovative designs using leather and other unconventional materials in the fashion industry. - **Unisex Collections:** Market for gender-neutral clothing designs that appeal to a wide range of consumers. - **Conceptual Fashion:** Demand for avant-garde fashion collections that push boundaries and challenge traditional styles. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Innovative use of leather and unconventional materials can drive creativity and consumer interest. - **Textiles:** Growing demand for unique fabrics and textures in fashion collections. - **Retail:** Opportunity to capture the market with gender-neutral clothing designs and avant-garde fashion collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Workwear-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-springsummer-2024.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md)
