One of the 2024 Spring/Summer color trend themes, "Revival," was released by POP in December 2022. "Man is the measure of all things." In the increasingly closed-off time, people are thinking more about the meaning of their existence and perceiving the changes in the world around them. The revival of digital culture displays unlimited possibilities for the future and subsequently influences the real world. Like a great awakening, the revival of the digital world inwardly and the exploration of living space outwardly will constitute the fusion of the future world. The collection releases from major brands in this season have confirmed this thematic trend.

Having experienced epidemics, wars, and changes in industries, people's spirits have long been burdened.

Stoneverse re-examines the fundamental elements through exploring the multi-level essence of the medium. "Stone" is a concept or form, rather than the stone itself. Facing the ecological crisis and global warming, people rethink their views on nature. Whether it is plants, animals, minerals, glaciers, or mountains, all other living beings inhabiting the earth have the right to exist and deserve respect. People have a responsibility to respect the life cycle of all products in the universe and to rationalize the use of resources. This attitude has influenced the way clothes and shoes are made. Today, clothing not only serves its common function but also embodies the pursuit of sustainable development and natural conservation. Consumers with binary thinking regard quality as a wise consumption behavior and turn to a culture of recycling and recyclability by extending the product life cycle, alongside iconic earth-tone colors to promote a series of strategies for high-quality products. Through the integration of natural resources and conservation in the current cosmos trend, a perfect balance between nature and low technology is achieved.
