Trend Concept Board

sophisticated, flirty, and chic. Our trend brings out all of those characteristics to our customers.
FUTURISTIC(SPRING(SIREN(

Our evening concept board shows a peplum shirt, metallic pastel pants, holographic
stilettos, gold statement bracelet, metallic accessories, and pastel leather. The female on our
concept board is ready to head out with her family, friends, or partner to grab some dinner or a
date. She is wearing a white peplum shirt that is elegant, sharp and goes well with a pair of soft
pink pastel metallic pants. You can style this outfit with a pair of holographic stilettos. A pair of
silver stilettos will bring the outfit to life. The silver stilettos on our concept board have a texture
of the tail of a siren. Besides just giving out a hint of a siren, the mirror-shine metallic gives a
hint of futuristic detail and adds edginess to the outfit. When you begin to accessorize your outfit,
it is never a good idea to over style it because it makes your outfit look unsophisticated. With
this outfit you can wear a simple gold statement bangle in the shape of a sea star and a gold
shimmering clutch. The sea star bangle gives out the element of a siren and ocean life. During
spring, we have days and nights that can be cold and hot. It is always a good idea to carry a
jacket with you. The pastel-colored, leather motorcycle jacket screams fierceness and adds a
mixture of masculinity and femininity to the outfit.
As for our second concept board, we have a casual outfit that can be worn out to music
festivals during spring such as Coachella 2014. We have a light blue-cropped top with a metallic
silver maxi skirt that mirrors the tail of a mermaid. The light blue-cropped top brings
characteristics of spring and the beach. Together, the crop top and the maxi skirt would be
perfect for the spring weather. A pair of pastel lilac wedges also go great with this outfit because
wedges can be comfortable when standing or walking for hours during the day. To accessorize
this outfit, we chose to add a simple fish scale print bangle with a hologram chain clutch. The
clutch will be very lightweight and easy to carry. The hologram clutch combined with the silver
maxi skirt creates the futuristic aspect of this outfit.

Overall these two outfits are examples of how our trend will come to life. It definitely
displays our futuristic spring siren trend. Both outfits illustrate the modernized siren for spring
2014 with its feminine and bold qualities.
Color Section
For this trend, the color palette consists mostly of cool pastel colors with hints of bold,
metallic colors. It is inundated with shaded ripples of blue to reflect the deep blue seas around
the world. Silver and white metallics mirror the colors of oysters and pearls scattered throughout
the oceans. Traces of gold are reminiscent of the brown sands we see in beaches. Shells inspire
the muted yellows, beiges, pinks, and lilacs in this palette. These mirror-shine metallics also
gives off that futuristic feel and adds an edginess to the variety of colors.
The blue hues in the palette represent the color of the ocean waters, which are associated
with the mythical sirens. In color theory, blue “has more complex meanings than any other color.”
The reason why we chose dark blue shades for our color palette is because it represents dignity,
intelligence, and authority. Since the main target for this trend are young, professional women
we know that these blues will signify that they are strong and independent. To add a touch of
femininity, light blue tones are also included in the palette. Light blue shades represent peace and
serenity but also something that is ethereal and spiritual. For this trend, the light blue shades also
symbolize the unearthly creature known as the siren.
The light purple shades or lilacs in the palette represent shells. In color theory, purple
conveys different meanings such as magic, creativity, and royalty. However, light purples are
considered light-hearted, floral, and romantic. Although the target for this trend are strong,
young, and professional women, the light purple tones offers a little daintiness to these women
who want to remain in touch with their feminine side.

The soft yellow, pink, and beige pastel colors in this palette add more femininity to this
trend. Yellow makes us think of spring because the color represents sunshine and happiness.
Pink is associated with girls in most cultures and the color represents romance and tenderness.
Beige and ivory symbolizes calm and pleasantness. These colors add softness to the trend.
Finally, to create a sense of dominance and strength, we included gold and silver to the
color palette. Gold is seen as the color of success, achievement, and triumph. With gold this
trend will attract women who want to project those meanings. Like gold, silver is usually
associated with prestige and wealth. It is seen as glamorous and sophisticated. The color is shiny,
modern, and hi-tech on one hand and captivating and elegant on the other. This applies to the
futuristic aspect of the trend. Silver is related to female energy, which is also something that we
want to exemplify through this trend.
Fabric Section
Futuristic spring siren fabric choices consists of iridescent sequins, iridescent nylons, soft
sheer, viscose, embossed metallic leather and leather. Fabric choice is very important because it
will make our trend come to life. Our fabric choice will make our female look flirty and chic.
These fabrics give textures of mermaid, fish, and futuristic elements. They are shiny, bold, and
look great on females. The iridescent sequin and embossed metallic leather gives hints of how a
mermaids tail looks like. Women between the ages of early 20s and mid 30s want to look sexy,
flirty, and sophisticated. These fabrics will look great on skirts, shorts, tops, dresses, shoes, and
accessories.
The metallics, shimmering, and iridescent fabrics go very well with our trend. Embossed
metallic leather will give our garments both futuristic and siren elements. Metallics are a major
element to our trend because it brings out the flirty element but gives it an edge. Viscose and

leather can be used for jackets and the look becomes futuristic and edgy. Besides the fabric, our
color palette will help our garments, accessories, and shoes become the epitome of the futuristic
spring siren. Details also take a huge part of our fabric selections. For details we will be using
hologram, which will incorporate a futuristic look and adds dimension to our trend.
Runway/Street Inspiration
Sirens of the sea have been used as fashion inspiration in the past. The trend had a softer
and subtler appearance back in 2012 and for 2014 the siren will be given a more glamorous and
updated look. Back in 2011, Karl Lagerfeld created a buzz when he gave the fashion industry a
taste of underwater luxury in Chanel’s spring 2012 runway show. He added a refreshing edge to
the minimalist ocean-themed collection and we want to apply some of that to the futuristic spring
siren trend as well. Taking in some of the metallic silvers Lagerfeld used in his collection and
adding it to our color palette will give this trend a femme fatale quality that will be hard to miss.
Also feeding our trend would be Givenchy’s spring and summer 2012 collection. The
Givenchy spring collection included iridescent sequins that give off that hi-tech, mermaid appeal
that will influence the futuristic spring siren of 2014. Versace’s spring and summer 2012
collection took a more literal approach to the mermaid trend by applying crystal shell and
starfish embellishments to several frocks. The Paco Rabanne spring and summer 2012 collection
took a whole new direction by creating figure-fitting mermaid gowns that looked like they took a
dip in metallic liquid.
The futuristic spring siren trend isn’t looking to copy the trends of the past, but instead to
gain influence from past collections. With slimming silhouettes, maxi skirts and dresses, and
metallic accessories, the futuristic spring siren trend will create its own buzz in the fashion world
during the spring season of 2014.

Art Movement/Culture Heritage
Our inspiration comes from movies and events that are happening in the year 2014. We
want our target customers to feel like they are part of a trend that relates to major events and
movies that will happen in 2014. Our trend futuristic spring siren is a young girl who wants to
look flirty and chic.
A lot of Sci-fi movies will be coming out soon such as Captain America, Robopocalypse,
Robocop, Guardians of the Galaxy, and more. These movies all have elements of modernism.
Our trend doesn’t involve any superheroes, robots, or sci-fi monsters, but the idea of these
movies have inspired us to look towards the futuristic elements. It gives out ideas of bold
metallic elements that we will be using for in our garments, shoes, and accessories. These
elements will create a look that is feminine yet daring.
Events that will be going on during Spring 2014 are festivals. Our trend will go very well
with festivals that will be happening during spring. Our female enjoys having fun with her
friends and/or partner. Coachella is a huge music festival during spring. Everyone looks forward
for that day; retail stores and designers all come out with their own festival line. But as time goes
by we all get bored of seeing very similar styles. This time our trend will bring a female who is
not afraid to show her feminine and fierce self at a music festival. Our garments will be very
comfortable for our target market. These inspirations will definitely make a great impact to our
trend because everyone wants something new and wants to get rid of the old. Innovative is the
word that comes to mind when we look at the futuristic spring siren trend.
Besides just being inspired by upcoming movies and events, we have also been inspired
by sirens. The textures of their tails inspired the use of our fabrics. Sirens could be seen flirty,
but they have a soft touch that makes it chic. John William Waterhouse painting The Siren shows

a young girl in her early 20s, you can see that her tail is slowly forming and Waterhouse gives us
a silver metallic color that has textures of the embossed metallic leather fabric we will be using
for our trend. Little things like these on painting can help make a trend come to life.
Analytic Track - Trending
More and more people are starting to use social networks to express a little more about
themselves. There has been a significant growth on Pinterest. The website breaks down the
categories for their users and giving them different options to pin boards. With that being said,
Pinterest has past and current pins that can relate to our trend. Futuristic fashion, metallics,
pastels, and sirens. You can slowly see how they are innovation. The idea of Futuristic design
has been slowly growing and our trend can make a huge impact as well as the metallics. They
seem to die off throughout the years but slowly make their way up. These analytics are
important because it will help us edit anything that we think might not be part of trend.
Conclusion
Why will the futuristic spring siren trend be a hit for spring 2014? We like to think that
every girl starts out as an innocent mermaid, who will eventually transform into a gorgeous,
modern siren. The siren woman exudes strength and independence. She is captivating and
charming to all those around her. She draws people in with her charming qualities, but she has a
certain aspect to her that may intimidate others. She is a woman who knows where she stands
and the world. She knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to go after it. The futuristic spring
siren is a confident woman who wants to dress like a lady, but also wants to express a daring side
of her.
A woman with this look will be able to express her confidence while maintaining that
feminine grace. The futuristic spring siren trend is not only inspired by events that will happen in
