Stepping into 2020 this spring, runways have an important message to send: reminding us of the significance of the environmental impact of our clothes. As we saw in fashion month, designers are bringing more eco-conscious concepts and upcycling excessive fabrics from previous collections, such as Sarah Burton. These are the evolutionary steps that the fashion world is taking towards reaching a more sustainable take on the industry and building long-lasting wardrobes. Let’s not forget Stella McCartney’s massive influence on reaching a sustainable mindset and sustainability in the fashion industry. Among all the standout moments, we have decided to review 8 of the most eye-catching trends from spring 2020 runways.
A Fashion Designer Passion for Made-to-Measure
Artisanal Craftsmanship

Crochet, macramé and other handmade techniques are becoming more than just a “trend” as sustainability is becoming more and more important in the fashion industry.
Modernized Wide Collars

There is no doubt that these collars, which are best-known as “disco collars,” were one of the eye-catching comebacks of the season, as we saw in Victoria Beckham and Lanvin.
Vibrant Shades

Let’s just say tangerine orange is having its reigning moment in spring 2020 runways in a variety of pieces. Lively blue was also another trending color, as seen in many designers’ collections.
