Ricardo Tisci declared that "We need to go back to zero and rebuild the wardrobe, just like when you repaint a room." A clear indication of the way that fashion was heading, the quote certainly rings true for spring with this stunning collection by Oliver Theyskens. Almost entirely monochromatic, the underlying motif of this collection was one of [understated luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-journey). As a true aficionado of shades over color, my dark sensibilities were appealed to by this divine collection. The [focus on tailoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea) and textile is very modish and in tune with the [return of minimalism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit). Every single exit from this collection is entirely wearable and complimented by the bed head of each model. The laid back appeal gives an air of casual elegance that is inimitable and a definite sign of sublime taste. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Colorless Collections:** Monochromatic collections with a focus on tailoring and textiles, signalling a return to minimalism. - **Understated Luxury:** Collections featuring luxurious designs without the use of bright or bold colors. - **Casual Elegance:** Collections that offer wearable designs with an air of relaxed sophistication. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore opportunities for luxury design with a focus on tailoring and textiles, while employing minimalism and understated color palettes. - **Textile:** The textile industry can leverage the trend towards more luxurious fabrics and monochromatic color palettes. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can take inspiration from the trend of understated luxury and create minimalist designs that feature luxurious textiles and monochromatic color schemes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md) - [Couture Color Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-dualities.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md)
