The five drivers shaping cortisol dressing for SS28 →

As women navigate uncertainty, acceleration and constant stimulation, dressing is becoming a tool for regulation.

Consumers are looking for clothing that offers more than visual appeal. It must support emotional wellbeing, provide sensory comfort and make everyday life feel easier.

Five drivers are shaping this shift:
→ Emotional regulation
→ Sensory comfort
→ Adaptable ease
→ Purposeful joy
→ Authentic connection

Together, they inform an SS28 wardrobe that feels calming, expressive, versatile and deeply personal.

Across SS28, design centres on clothing that can be reworn and remixed year after year:

→Weathered finishes that reflect the mark of time
→Modular details that adapt across outfits
→Hybrid styling that combines unexpected pieces and proportions

Softly faded finishes create lived-in character and effortless versatility across everyday essentials.

Formalwear is uplifted through hybrid styling, with a deconstructed mood.

Modular detailing such as buttons and functional tabs become decorative with added practicality.

Relaxed proportions and soft volume deliver effortless comfort with contemporary appeal.

Collars are leading the way for AW27/28.

Protective, tactile and expressive, they reflect the growing desire for comfort and reassurance in an increasingly uncertain world.

Cocooning shapes envelop the wearer, while evocative colour, crafted details and heightened proportions turn collars into a defining feature of the season.

Five SS27 forecasts we made in 2025 appeared on the catwalk this June.

From Dior’s sheer layers and IM Men’s fresh greens to Setchu’s nautical references, Dries Van Noten’s extreme proportions and Taak’s reworked fine stripes, the signals we identified across colour, silhouette, surface and detail materialised across Milan and Paris.

Forecasting isn’t just about predicting one look. It’s about identifying the cultural and design shifts before they become widespread. This is what we do at Trendhub.

Home is taking on a more active role in SS28.

As economic pressure, digital fatigue and emotional overload shape everyday life, interiors will be designed not simply to look good, but to help people feel better within them.

The result is a new balance between feeling and function:

→Airy industrial forms are softened by warmth.
→Crafted objects give everyday rituals more meaning.
→Playful expression is grounded by technical process.

Across furniture, materials and decorative detail, SS28 Home brings together utility, tactility and emotional reassurance, creating spaces with more personality, purpose and staying power.

You saw it, we called it 🫰

Sensory dressing is making an appearance across SS27 catwalks, with a focus on pieces that encourage presence and expression. We forecast this break from digital overwhelm into something more intentional back in 2025 and continue to see it materialise as SS27 shapes up.

SS27 colour is shaped by a renewed need for tactility, authenticity and emotional connection.

As digital fatigue sets in, colour becomes more grounded, more sensory and more human.

From the baked intensity of Mandarin Red and the soft glow of Warm Apricot, to the fluid calm of Water Ballet and Hawaiian Surf, the season’s palette is built around tones that feel physical as much as visual.

Deeper shades, like Bitter Chocolate, bring a richer grounding to summer colour, adding depth, tactility and a more crafted sense of warmth.

Denim is becoming more than just a staple 👖

For AW27/28, it’s a sharper product category – shaped by innovative proportions, premium finishes, and more emotionally resonant product detail.

Expect fresh takes on classic denim details. From large studs, eyelets and detachable chains to upcycled collars, tactile trims, carabiners, decorative toggles, fireman clasps and asymmetric layers.

These details move denim into a more styled, expressive space – adding texture, function and visual impact across jackets, skirts, trousers and dresses.

We’ve wrapped up Milan Design Week! Here’s what inspired the team this year…

Across the city, the strongest work shared a common thread: design that asked us to slow down and look more closely.

From Berto’s sculptural glasswork to Motong Yang’s modular ritual objects; Sancal’s playful installation to Iranzo’s delicate netted forms and Studio Lugo’s raw metal pieces.

Materiality was doing more than just setting the tone, but carrying feel, process and story.

This year’s standout moments celebrated tactility, imperfection and craft – with traditional techniques reworked for a more curious, human and emotionally resonant design language.

Thank you, Milan.
