Pure London x JATC, the UK’s largest festival of fashion, has revealed its theme, Immersive Encounters, for the July 2024 show. Drawing inspiration from the latest trends curated by the show’s new trend partner, Trendhub by BDA London, Immersive Encounters will set the scene for the event that will bring together two influential shows, leading the fashion agenda.
Jennie Kwan, Head of Creative, New Next Gen Division at Hyve comments, “Immersive Encounters was inspired by Trendhub’s S/S 25 forecasts, echoing Pure London and JATC seamlessly merging into one cohesive experience. Within the season’s trends, Illusory is a key theme, showcasing how AI can craft immersive experiences using seemingly real elements, producing captivating illusions. It is from this concept that we created ‘Immersive Encounters’. We are excited to implement this concept across the show’s creative.”
Immersive Encounters: Step into a space that interrupts your every expectation, and discover a world that gleams with intrigue, and glitches with excitement. The integration of digitisation and artificial intelligence with our world is continually evolving, and within design, emerging trends featuring glimmering surfaces and soft organic forms infuse our daily lives with playfulness and excitement.
A vibrant new colour palette of matte pearlescent tones such as peach and soft pink, alongside enduring shades of deep blue and almond, will take centre stage in a dynamic array of graphics and imagery throughout the season’s campaign.
Drawing on over 30 years’ experience in trend forecasting, product development and brand strategy, Trendhub by BDA London brings unparalleled expertise to Pure London x JATC. Trendhub’s seasonal forecasts combine BDA London’s extensive insight and consultancy work with a comprehensive understanding of market trends and seasonal dynamics.
