Dip- Fall 2025 CHILDRENSWEAR- NU HERITAGE
Exploring heritage through tactile materials, earthy palettes, and timeless design
Creative Direction | Color & Materials | Girls + Boys
BY MONICA RICHMOND
As Senior Designer, I led the creative vision and direction for Nu Heritage, a Fall 2025 concept celebrating nostalgia, warmth, and handcrafted charm. Overseeing both Girls’ and Boys’ categories, I unified the color and material stories to create a cohesive, emotionally rich collection that bridges softness and utility. By leveraging shared fabrications, trims, and seasonal palettes across genders, the design approach strengthened IMU performance while maintaining distinct identities. The result is a collection rooted in nature and tradition—where corduroy, checks, and embroidery capture a modern sense of heritage and imagination.
Girlswear — Nu Heritage
A nostalgic, nature-rooted story that blends warmth, craft, and playful heritage. Corduroy, checks, and delicate embroideries elevate everyday pieces with handcrafted authenticity. The palette leans into soft neutrals and grounded autumnal hues, creating a cozy, imaginative world where timeless tradition meets modern girlswear storytelling.
Boyswear — Nu Heritage
Inspired by outdoor adventure and timeless craftsmanship, textured knits and utility layers meet earthy tones of amber, forest, and indigo — blending comfort, heritage, and curiosity..
Nu Heritage — Childrenswear Color Palette
I built this palette to anchor the Nu Heritage childrenswear story in warmth, craft, and the spirit of the outdoors. Soft pinks and dusted purples balance seamlessly with earthy terracottas, golden warmth, and a full spectrum of nature-driven greens. Deeper blues and inky navies add durability and outdoor confidence, making the palette feel grounded and gender-inclusive. Together, these hues create a versatile, modern range that supports handcrafted textures, playful detailing, and an elevated, nature-connected aesthetic for both girls and boys.
