The Spring/summer 2020 season was divided into three broad themes namely Code Create, Empower Up, and Designing Emotion.
The Code Create theme fused science, nature and technology to showcase a womenswear range that embraces futuristic aesthetics grounded by a sense of practicality and reality. The collection featured colors rooted in nature such as clear waters, mint foam and rosewater alongwith rich, earthy reds that highlighted the continuing importance of transseasonal tones.
The Empower Up! theme featured a palette of upbeat mid-tones. Having a nostalgic and sun-faded quality, these tones recalled the 1980s surf culture and cities by the sea, such as Miami, Sydney, Los Angeles and Cape Town.
The Designing Emotion theme explored the interplay between people and technology. This trend combined the industrial with the artisanal with its designs offering a sense of emotional and human connection. The color palette included lean and comforting mid-tones like Yellow and orange that work easily with each other.
These themes were presented on 3D mood boards developed by WGSN.
