2022 Design Trends
Jet Set
The timeless romance of freedom and travel is on the rise again, with mid-century nods to the Jet Era.
Vintage washes, modern lines and playful embellishments pair with retro fonts to remind us of possibilities hidden in our yesteryears.

Thank you for joining us on today’s flight. Please take your seats and fasten your seat belts. Jet Set will be taking off shortly as 2022 lifts off and takes you to an island paradise.
Jet Set evokes the iconic travel posters of the past, carrying bold splashes of primaries mixed with the muted tones from the 50’s to 60’s. Retro is back, and it’s here to stay.

If you didn’t own a Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers, then who were you really? The 90’s revolution has taken the runway, platform Wheelies and all.
