The models walked the runway in a series of leather cowboy belts, [embellished boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melissa-x-maldito), hats and lots and lots of fringe. Fringe appeared on the runway on bags, leather jackets, dresses and shawls. Bonstrom dressed up [leather skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-spring-collection) with intricate lace caplets shawls with trains for dramatic effect. The collection was mostly monochromatic, white-and-black affair, disrupted by sporadic pops of red or gold. Overall, the Zadig and Voltaire Spring ready to wear collection hearkens back to the [wild ways of the old west](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frye-x-aurate) without being too overbearing and can definitely be enjoyed by country girls and city girls equally. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wild West Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate Western-inspired elements into their collections. - **Monochromatic Minimalism:** Chance for designers to explore the use of monochromatic color schemes with occasional bold accents. - **Mixing Traditional and Modern:** Potential for fashion brands to blend traditional and contemporary styles to create unique and versatile looks. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the popularity of Western-inspired fashion trends. - **Accessories:** Opportunity for accessory brands to develop Western-themed products like belts, boots, and hats. - **Luxury Brands:** Luxury fashion brands can experiment with traditional and modern elements to create high-end Western-inspired collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Reprised Fall Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-reimagines-autumnal-fashion.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Vibrant Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrangler-x-happy-socks.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Western-Influenced Spring Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-capsule.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Year-of-the-Horse Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-horse-ss26.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md)
