Pastoe's trendy theme describes minimalism inspired by Dutch mid-20th century art. This can be seen in the simple and functional geometric forms of the structures, the influence of terracotta colors and shades, as well as the sophistication of the vintage design. The theme is important not only for the clothing segment, but also for interior decor.
Key theme slogans: simplicity, timelessness and high quality.
The Pastoe color palette consists of traditional shades of brown for shoes, as well as accent shades of a different color scheme: warm mustard, dark green, rich burgundy.
From the segment of interior decor in the shoe model, materials were transferred: knitted knitwear, corduroy in a large hem, prints with a wood pattern.

The fashionable theme “Terraform” describes the process by which we can change the atmosphere and ecology of another planet so that they are similar to earthly and familiar to us. As we search for the future of humanity and explore interstellar spaces, there is growing interest in how we can inhabit other worlds. In an effort to find another planet to inhabit, we are looking for the same as our Earth. Therefore, this fashionable theme is saturated with "nostalgia" for our beautiful planet. The surfaces of materials and prints are likened to the surfaces of the earth’s crust, or resemble natural resources, or marble, in the patterns the central place is occupied by images resembling images of the earth from space.
Colors repeat the natural shades of the earth, foliage, cold sky.
In the materials, on the one hand, the leather of exotic animals is used: the leather of a crocodile, python, and on the other hand, the influence of space technologies on the face, therefore, the trend is ultra-lacquered, as well as metallized leather. The accessory stitch has new solutions in the pattern.
Boots and ankle boots
The influence of the Chelsea design is noticeable in the fashionable Terraform theme in such assortments as boots and low shoes. As a decor in shoes, you can find convex strips between the stitching, stitch, an abundance of additional straps and buckles. It is noteworthy that rubber boots with high soles appear in this thread.
