Source Fashion, Europe’s leading responsible sourcing show, has revealed key catwalk trends for its upcoming event from 18th to 20th February 2025 at Olympia London. The Source Catwalk will showcase a fusion of innovation, sustainability, and immersive fashion experiences, highlighting the future of responsible design alongside a bespoke collection by headline designer Stuart Trevor.
For AW25-26, three macro trends - Multisensory, Transformative, and Rejuvenating, will shape womenswear collections. Under these, several micro trends emerge. ‘CircusPlay’ takes inspiration from the whimsical world of the circus, featuring bold colors, exaggerated silhouettes, and rich textures. Key pieces include the Bubble Hem Dress, Volume Draped Top, and Exaggerated Shoulder Top, embracing theatrical fashion with modern wearability.
‘Hyper Tactile’ makes fashion an immersive sensory experience with an organic color palette, including hues like Organic Matter and Enchanted Forest, evoking warmth and nature’s enchanting textures. ‘Reconstructed’ celebrates sustainability through upcycling, using patchwork, mixed textiles, and artistic repurposing. The color scheme blends earthy neutrals with Desert Architect tones, balancing warm golds and cool stony greys.
‘Plant Power’ focuses on botanical beauty and plant-based materials, featuring innovative textiles like Pinatex (pineapple leaf fabric) and organic cotton. With dominant green and brown tones, this trend redefines sustainable luxury.
Stuart Trevor, known for his craftsmanship and innovation, will present a bespoke collection from his eponymous label, adding a unique touch to the Source Catwalk. The show promises a forward-thinking vision of fashion, merging creativity, sustainability, and next-generation materials.
