From the catwalk to the interior.

From catwalk to interior.

Three fashion trends you can translate to your home.

There is something magical about the catwalk! Models strutting by in looks that fluctuate from absurdist to fairytale-like and from wearable to absolute art. The great thing is: trends from the catwalk often trickle down into all sorts of other fields, such as interiors.

We heard it before from Femke Furnee, founder of furniture brand FEST Amsterdam, in an Interieurclub podcast: Her number one source of inspiration is fashion shows. We dived into the fashion trends ourselves, which you can definitely put to work in your interior.

We’ll take you through the three trends we spotted and tell you how you can apply them.

Super Femboyant
Super Femboyant is a show by Ruben Jurriën during DDW 2013 that stands for softness, but also for immense strength. Fem stands for feminine, boy for masculine. Together, they form a beautiful collection and an incredibly impressive show.

At the start of the show, the purple, pink, and red spotlights transform into radiant white-yellow light. The idea that Jurriën’s clothing is for everyone, as he has emphasized before, is clearly evident in the presentation. Models from the queer community walk in the show, and two enthusiastic children are warmly cheered on by the audience. Moreover, his father is once again present in this fashion show. Not to be missed is the prominent presence of red and pink in the collection.

At first glance, red can seem like an intense, bold colour. But go for burgundy, and you suddenly have a chic look. Large fashion houses like Hermès, Loewe, and Proenza Schouler are choosing red, so why shouldn't you?

Go for dark red in combination with, for example, walnut wood (perfect for the kitchen!) or as a warm accent colour in a gender-neutral nursery with bamboo. Red; we think it's a colour to die for!

Head to toe
We see coats dragging on the floor. We see extra-long trousers and gigantic scarves. Ponchos also appeared in large sizes, and then there is, of course, the turtleneck up to the chin. The head-to-toe covered look is hot. At fashion houses such as Altuzarra, we often see this in a single colour, nicely tone-on-tone. And you can do that in your home, too! Paint your wall, ceiling, stairs, cabinet, lamp—whatever you can think of—all in the same colour for a great statement!

Dark romanticism
It seems to be somewhat inspired by the successful Netflix series Wednesday, about the girl with the two braids from the Addams Family; gothic-like romanticism, also known as grunge, was fully present on the catwalk. At Chanel and Acne Studios, we saw dark romanticism return in a more frivolous way, with bits of flowers and lace here and there. At Rodarte and Erdem, the execution was sharper, but black dominated there as well. At fairf, we think black, like our colour Lars, is a cool choice, especially for small rooms like the hallway. Because just imagine what happens when you hang a picture frame, a striking lamp, a mirror, or a design object there? Exactly! It pops. And that is the secret power of black in an interior; it is the perfect, exciting canvas.
