THE EXPRESS YOURSELF A/W 17 TREND TAKES INSPIRATION FROM THE VIBRANT WORK OF GERHARD RICHTER, WHICH FOCUSES UPON TEXTURAL ELEMENTS OF ARTWORK. THE VIBRANCY OF THE COLOURS AND THE RANDOMNESS OF THE BRUSHSTROKES CREATE A TEXTURE THAT ISN'T NECESSARILY THERE. THIS INTERPRETED IN FABRIC, MAKES THE KEY PIECES IN THIS TREND ARTWORK IN THEMSELVES. THE IDEA OF FUN AND JOY ARE SIGNIFICANT FACTORS FOR THIS TREND AS IS THE INTENTION TO EVOKE SELF-EXPRESSION AND CONFIDENCE.
