Merida-Inspired Fashion Collections

Trina Turk Fall 2018 Was Inspired by Artisan Patterns

The Trina Turk Fall 2018 collection is decorated in intricate designs and patterns. These styles were inspired by the book 'Casa Mexico,' which dives into interiors of Merida historical buildings. Drawing influence from the detailed textiles, patterns and tile work, Turk incorporated her vision into the collection, maintaining a high level of contrast all throughout the pieces by experimenting with various textures, prints and colors—this can be seen in tailored blazers with bits of gold details and plaid pieces with teal accents.

The garments from the collection embrace relaxed silhouettes for bottoms and structure on top. The overarching color scheme of the Trina Turk Fall 2018 collection would be the autumn palette that surrounds deep purple tones of wine and berry for a more seasonal aesthetic.
