# Young Adult-Inspired Fashion Collections Wood Wood's Youthful Fashion Line for FW18 Tells a Story By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-08-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youthful-fashion1 References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/p/wood-wood-fw18-lookbook/) & [woodwood](https://www.woodwood.com/) Contemporary label Wood Wood produces a youthful fashion line that symbolically follows the trajectory of outgrowing childhood and becoming an adult — a process that we are all sometimes painfully familiar with. The Fall/Winter 2018 collection is divided into several stories that are dedicated to representing noteworthy periods of one's coming of age. With an eclectic array of offerings that include corduroy fabrics, warm colors, denim, slogans and more, Highsnobiety identifies the Patchwork, the Collegiate, the Army Surplus and the Raw Denim story. The youthful fashion is clearly infused with [strong hints of nostalgia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25). A definite highlight of the collection are the two [denim jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform) that boast slogans like "Leave Me Alone With Your Attention" and "Sad Songs Make Me Happy" on the back. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Youthful Fashion:** Opportunity to create fashion lines that symbolically follow the trajectory of outgrowing childhood and becoming an adult. - **Nostalgic Fashion:** Opportunity to infuse fashion trends with strong hints of nostalgia for a unique and sentimental style. - **Storytelling Fashion:** Opportunity to create fashion collections that are divided into different stories, representing noteworthy periods of one's coming of age. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Apparel:** Opportunity for apparel companies to create youthful and nostalgic fashion collections that resonate with customers of different ages. - **Denim Manufacturing:** Opportunity for denim manufacturers to produce denim jackets with unique and nostalgic slogans to appeal to nostalgic fashion trends. - **Fashion Media and Blogging:** Opportunity for fashion media and blogging platforms to feature and promote storytelling fashion collections that resonate with their audience's coming of age experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Conceptual Memory-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25.md) - [High School-Inspired Autumn Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erl-2.md) - [Scrapbook-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Sartorial Co-Ed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soulland-2.md) - [Americana-Inspired Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-stories-americana.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Youth Streetwear Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diary-1999.md)
