Spanish term or phrase: adquire el protagonismo principal de las formas
This is a description of the theme of a fashion collection. I'm not sure of the meaning of "formas" in this context:

"La colección nos invita a un verano lluvioso, nostálgico y algo decadente donde lo ordinario y lo familiar *adquiere el protagonismo principal de las formas.*

Explanation:
I'm not exactly sure about "formas," myself, but I think we're trying to express that the ordinary and familiar will stand out from all the rest this season.
