Metallic trend 2018

The metallicĀ trend comes and goes every so often. Metallic trend 2018 holds strong across fashion, make up, home decor, and digital media. In this postĀ I gathered few examples illustrating an incarnation of this trend in window design.

The metallic trend is associated with industrialism. The silver trend additionally takes inspiration from space. The moon, stars, and intergalactic themes are synonyms of science fiction and futurism.

In fashion this year, the connection with space was stamped by the Chanel Autumn/Winter 2018 collection dominated by the space rocket. Different glossy colors accompany a polished or textured silver shine.

Metallic shine is a dominating accent this year, but also continues as a background element or considered as neutral.

Let’s see how this trend made an entrance to luxury and high fashion design. Here are few window design’s examples showcasing the metallic accents.
