Essentially creating [bizarre wearable sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection) out of metal, foam and latex, she creates "bold shapes reminiscent of furniture from the 1980s Milan-based design movement lead by designer Ettore Sottsass," notes Dezeen. Created for her [University of Westminster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wiggle-collection) graduate collection, Valeska Jasso Collado's fashion designs are full of [quirky geometric silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) that will bring to mind Memphis style furniture and interior. Concentrating as much on layers as she does on shape, Valeska Jasso Collado's atypical choice of materials allows her a creative freedom that many fashion designers lack for fear of alienating potential clientele. They are as colorful as they are quirky. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Avant-garde Fashion:** Exploration of fashion that combines art and design to create unique and unusual wearable sculptures with new materials. - **Geometric Silhouettes in Fashion:** Fashion designs with quirky and bold 3D shapes, inspired by 1980s Milan-based design movement and Memphis style furniture and interior. - **Experimental Material Choices in Fashion Design:** Innovation in fashion design using unusual materials such as metal, foam, and latex to create wearable sculptures and explore new design possibilities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry could explore avant-garde and experimental designs, inspired by unique and unusual wearable sculptures with new materials to attract a niche segment of consumers. - **Art Industry:** The art industry could explore wearable sculptures as a form of artistic expression, incorporating innovative materials to create unique pieces that blur the boundaries between fine art and fashion. - **Furniture and Interior Design Industry:** The furniture and interior design industry could collaborate with avant-garde fashion designers to create pieces that blur the boundaries between furniture, art, and fashion, inspired by bold and quirky geometric silhouettes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Norm-Challenging Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wiggle-collection.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Transformative Furniture Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection-2.md) - [Cutting-Edge Wearable Furnishings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuttingedge-wearable-furnishings-mcm-wearable-casa-intersects-luxury-fashio.md) - [Randomness-Inspired Designer Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-in-chaos.md) - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Artistic Dress NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses.md)
