# Student-Designed Apparel Farfetch & Muse Carried an Exclusive Student Fashion Collection By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-10-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/student-fashion References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/2014/04/65889/farfetch-muuse) & [farfetch](http://www.farfetch.com/ca/) All too often, student fashion designs are dismissed as being too simple to be taken seriously, although there are a ton of fresh ideas that experimental youth bring to the world of fashion. Copenhagen-based shop Muuse and [e-retailer Farfetch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willy-chavarria1) are two establishments that don't turn their noses up at [student-designed creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workform), and instead collaborated on a line of garments created by 10 [fashion school students](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clo-academy) to embrace youthful ideas and creative thinking. These up-and-coming student designers were given a huge amount of exposure, especially considering that the collections were put up for sale on Farfetch, platform backed by Condé Nast—which is not too shabby for a first step into the public eye. Unsurprisingly, these talented students come from the same schools as big designer names in fashion like Martin Margiela and Dries Van Noten, ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Student-designed Fashion:** College students are creating fashion with unique perspectives and innovative ideas, creating opportunities for collaborations with retailers and exposure for young designers. - **Experimental Youth Designs:** Fashion schools are producing creative talents, inspiring new trends and styles that break away from traditional designs, and showcasing the potential of younger generations in the industry. - **Collaborative Retailing:** Collaborations between e-retailers and up-and-coming fashion designers create mutually beneficial opportunities for increased exposure and modernized fashion offerings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can benefit from collaborating with young designers by offering fresh perspectives, utilizing modern trends, and increasing brand relevance among younger consumers. - **Fashion Education:** Fashion schools have the opportunity to highlight the work of their students, promote innovation in design, and establish themselves as important influencers in the fashion industry. - **E-commerce:** E-retailers have the potential to be disruptive innovators in the fashion industry by providing a platform for experimental designs and unique perspectives from up-and-coming designers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Eurovision Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ljmu.md) - [Consumption-Inspired Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loutre-2.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Designer-Led E-Commerce Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willy-chavarria1.md) - [Upcycled Bag Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freitag-x-tudes-studio.md) - [Elevated Collegiate Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-campus-collection.md) - [High-Fashion Workwear Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-fashion-collaboration.md) - [Comfortable Collegiate Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yale-university.md) - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.md)
