What is national trend? Simply speaking, it can be understood as China’s trendy culture with national characteristics. The characteristics of "national trend" are mainly reflected in two points. First, the core is traditional culture, and second, it has a sense of fashion when integrated with current trends.

"Trendy brand" is the refining of certain cultural elements, deconstruction and reorganization using the brand's coat as a carrier. To satisfy contemporary young people’s pursuit of culture and fashion. As Chinese people become more confident in traditional Chinese culture, the “national trend” has become the darling of young people in recent years. Where are the "national trends"?

Trendy brands originated from American street culture. Among them, Stussy and Supreme are the most representative brands. Stussy's iconic signature is the epitome of graffiti culture in the 1970s. Supreme is a tribute to skateboarding culture.

In the 1990s, the American wave traveled across the ocean and came to Japan. The collision between the restraint of Asians and this trend produced a chemical reaction. The representative one is the emergence of "Japanese trend" workwear. The wide popularity of American fashion and Japanese fashion comes from the pioneering and individual design style on the one hand, and also from the brand's deep understanding and demonstration of the local cultural connotation. It can be seen that a mature national fashion brand must be avant-garde and unique on the outside and can capture the appetite of the younger generation, but at the same time its core is deep and heavy and cannot be separated from the cultural genes that have accumulated for thousands of years. Culture can not only stimulate the passion among individual citizens, but also give brand value and make cold design symbols come alive.
