The collection exhibits some of the most eccentric spring looks. Feng Chen Wang, David Ferreira, Moses Gauntlett Cheng and designer duo Nan Li and Emilia Pfohl, were selected by an online international voting public to present at the NYFW S/S '16 shows. With each designer contributing their own design aesthetic, the VFiles S/S '16 collection offers trans-centric, cross-cultural and naughty apparel. While Moses Gauntlett Cheng served gender-bending apparel and pumps for men, David Ferreira gave a line of furry golden gowns inspired by Rihanna's 2015 Met Gala ensemble. Feng Chen Wang designed apparel with oversized organ shapes whereas Nan Li and Emilia Pfohl contributed glimmering phallic bra tops. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Youthful Fashion Designers:** Opportunity for fashion industry to collaborate with young designers to create innovative and unconventional designs. - **Trans-centric Fashion:** Potential for the fashion industry to explore and embrace gender-bending and cross-cultural apparel. - **Eccentric Spring Looks:** Platform for designers to experiment with unconventional and bold fashion choices for the spring season. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Innovative designers can leverage exaggerated collaborative fashion to disrupt the industry with bold and unconventional designs. - **Gender-bending Apparel:** An opportunity for the fashion industry to tap into the market demand for non-conventional clothing options that challenge traditional gender norms. - **Fashion Events and Shows:** Fashion shows and events can incorporate eccentric spring looks to offer unique and eye-catching experiences for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Bright Color-Based Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Vibrant Bold Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruceglen.md)
