Trendsetters are our gods, and yet anyone who follows a trend is deemed to have no personal style. When a certain style starts trending, it immediately becomes less cool, and by the time you\u2019ve noticed it, the moment has died. Fashion critics, writers and influencers rely on trends as a way to analyse the current mood, political climate and youth culture landscape, though ironically, we\u2019d still advise that you don\u2019t follow them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This year, the themes have been a little chaotic, but the common trend within this list makes it seem like we\u2019re preparing for battle: we\u2019ve seen literal knights in shining armour, military jackets and protest t-shirts.

Meanwhile, also at Cannes, Julian Assange wore a t-shirt that listed the names of 4,986 Palestinian children aged five and under, killed by Israeli forces since 2023.
