Dreamy Draping • Up and coming Paris-born, UK-ba Dreamy Draping • Up and coming Paris-born, UK-based artist Manon Steyaert (@manonsteyaertart) explores the ambiguous space between painting and sculpture, with her draped and pleated silicone artworks. Manipulating pastel plastics so the obscure material becomes the canvas, the merging of shiny textures and attractive colours is inviting and playful to the eye. The result lies somewhere between the Fauve movement and fetish gear. USP Edit subscribers see more daily colour inspiration on our colour feed.

Bimbocore 💕 Hyper-femininity is being reclaimed Bimbocore 💕 Hyper-femininity is being reclaimed, as consumers embrace an OTT 'girly' aesthetic fuelled by social media - the hashtag #bimbocore having had over 20 million views on TikTok. The bimbo is being reinvented as an icon for self-empowerment by a new generation. Our latest Close to Season looks at the 'bimbocore' trend inspired by the rise of Y2K fashion icons from the 00's making a comeback, with the ultimate 'bimbo' @parishilton releasing a new tracksuit line and the latest @ganni x @juicycouture collab. Pink continues to dominate with fuchsia being key across the recent A/W 22/23 catwalks, as well as on red carpets for both women and men. See our stories throughout the day for further 'bimbocore' inspo! Who will be hopping on this think pink trend?! #USPtrend #TrendForecasting #ColourPalette #Pink #Y2K #Fashion #Collaborations #ParisHilton #BarbiePink #Femininity #CloseToSeason #Details
Hi, Mary (@m__ontage) here, @usptrend's Colour Spe Hi, Mary (@m__ontage) here, @usptrend's Colour Specialist taking over the Instagram today to share some things I’m looking forward to in 2022: 1. Venice Biennale 2022 - My dream trip this year would be the @venice.art.biennale, particularly as women have dominated this year. First stop would be @katharina_grosse’s installation at the Espace Louis Vuitton Venezia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Regina Pyo S/S 22 - If money were no object I’d be filling my wardrobe with @rejinapyo's S/S 22 collection. Great colours as always and I love her accessories. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Tracey Emin - I’m really keen to see @traceyeminstudio’s new exhibition Tracey Emin: A Journey to Death at the @carlfreedmangallery in Margate, (on now until 19th June). I’m also really excited about her plans to open an art school in her hometown. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Arcade Foothill - I’m desperate to go to the re-opened. @arcadefoodhall at Centrepoint in London, which houses 9 open restaurants, including Jellodrome by Bompas and Parr. I’m excited to see something like this open in this part of town. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks for reading and look out on our stories throughout the day for more of Mary's 2022 inspo!✨✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #USPtrend #Colour #Art #Exhibition #Events #VeniceBiennale2022 #RejinaPyo #Fashion #KatharinaGrosse #TraceyEmin #ArcadeFoodhall #USPInspiration #TeamTakeover #Inspiration

Exclusive blue colourways of the label’s Chiquito and Bambino bags are available for purchase, as well as a handful of blue apparel, such as hoodies and tees.

Thermal ❤️‍🔥 Fashion forward prints evolv Thermal ❤️‍🔥 Fashion forward prints evolve to become more abstract and painterly. Filled with light and awash with colour, they take on a heat enhanced thermal appearance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ombré and colour gradient effects are applied to satin, rainwear and knits, and reactive fabrics come through as a key material trend. Heat inspired patterns and Trompe-l'œil body prints are key, as seen in @yproject_official’s A/W 22/23 collection. For lifestyle, lacquered surfaces and ombré colour are used on interior products elevating them to become works of art. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ USP subscribers see our full Thermal USP Inspire on the site and catch our stories later for more heat-map inspired prints. 🧡💚💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • • • • • ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #USPtrend #TrendForecasting #Trend #USPinspire #Moodboard #MoodOfTheDay #Thermal #Prints #Heatmap #Fashion #Interiors #Homewares #Pattern #FashionTrends #ReactiveFabric #Colour #ColourInspiration #Ombre #ColourPalette

Hey! It's Ella (Colour & Trend Editor) taking over Hey! It's Ella (Colour & Trend Editor) taking over the USP Instagram to share some of the things I'm looking forward to this year... • After seeing her play recently, I'm looking forward to seeing Tamil-Swiss singer @priyaraguofficial perform at Cross The Tracks festival (alongside my fave band @khruangbin) in June. I love her style which mixes sports, formalwear and her Sri-Lankan heritage, which is also reflected in her music. She was recently shortlisted for the BBC's Sound of 2022 award and featured on Vogue so definitely one to watch. • Just released, I’m eager to read @britishvogue columnist and "the funniest person on Instagram" @raven__smith's second book. Men is a series of short and funny essays about his experiences, thoughts and feelings on men and his own masculinity - I'm expecting it to be a very funny read. • I'm off to Milan with some of the team for Milan Design Week in June and I can't wait to visit the famous Bar Basso, explore the city and of course, visit the amazing exhibitions and installations that will be popping up. I'm hoping to see @olderstudio's colourful furry stools, plus @highsnobiety have just released a collection of merch with Bar Basso, shall I rep it when I go..? You can find more on the stories later today, have a lovely Thursday! @ellamaidownes 🌻💗🌞 #USPtrend #trendforecasting #2022Inspiration #Music #Design #MilanDesignWeek #Design
