Transeasonal Is The Anti-Season, Clothes Not Specifically Intended For Winter Or Summer. A Trend The Fashion Industry Has Promised To Make Sustainable Fashion.
Those Transeasonal Pieces In A Wardrobe Are Essential To Layer, Throw On, And Take Off Per A Sudden Change In Temperature. I.E., A Dress Made Of A Model Fabric That Can Be Layered Or Worn Alone, A SaladBowlDress Utilitarian Tunic Or Vest.
The Performance Quality Goes From Indoors To Outdoors And Has Smart Denim Or Antibacterial Fibers To Accommodate A Back-To-Nature Movement.
Textile Space, Feel The Good, Easy-Care, Strong Focus On Comfort And How Fabrics Behave, Washable, Stretchable, Sustainable, And How It Makes Me Feel, As In Wellness.

The Tensions Around-Consuming
“There’s An Aesthetic Tension That’s Arising That’s Being Driven By A Key Consumer Desire- The Desire For Safety And Psychological Comfort. On One Hand, It’s Emerging Through Products That Evoke A Sense Of Care And Love Through Tactility And Visible Craft Elements. On The Other Hand, It Is Appearing In A Desire For The Armor That Protects Us Through A Lens Of The Uncertain Economic Landscape In Technical Fabrics And Works From Home Wear That Is Comfortable But Offers A Sharper Silhouette.” Quote By Petah Marian, WGSN Senior Strategist, Insight
