# Conceptual Cadet Runways The Thom Browne Spring/Summer 2015 Collection is Toy Soldier Inspired By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-06-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thom-browne References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/thom-browne-springsummer-2015/) & [thombrowne](http://www.thombrowne.com/) Thom Browne unveiled his Spring/Summer 2015 collection during Paris Fashion Week and stunned fashion fans with a conceptual menswear line that reminded one of waxed toy soldier figurines. The designer's latest collection embodied a wearable art aesthetic and highlighted sculptural accents that framed its models' bodies. The line showcased padded suit jackets and pants that were accompanied by cadet-inspired hats. These sculptural hats took their visual inspiration from traditional military accessories and added to the collection's combative theme. In addition to its mix of padded accents, the Thom Browne Spring/Summer 2015 collection also featured a range of structured suit silhouettes that played with various angles and pleats. Following in the footsteps of his previous, athletic-themed collections, Thom Browne opts for a similar aesthetic but takes a more militant route with his latest showing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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 - **Conceptual Fashion Trends:** Designing fashion collections with a wearable art aesthetic and sculptural accents modeling after traditional military accessories. - **Structured Suit Trends:** Creating suit silhouettes with unique angles and pleats. - **Athletic-inspired Fashion Collections:** Incorporating sports elements to design outfit collections. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** Innovating the fashion industry with wearable art aesthetic, sculptural accents, and traditional military accessories. - **Military Clothing Industry:** Incorporating high fashion into military outfits through the use of sculptural cadet-inspired hats. - **Athletic Clothing Industry:** Integrating traditional military accessories such as cadet-inspired hats with athletic fashion designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heritage Winter Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-winter.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Culturally Backed Fashion Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brigade.md) - [Fabric-Centric Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-nation-5.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Lively Reinterpreted Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thom-browne-6.md) - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Spring Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoldwall-5.md)
