Dressed-Up Defiance

Fashion takes on a rebellious attitude with threatening accoutrements

Implications - Fashions that border on threatening are providing a stylish way for consumers to play the part of the radical rebel without actually being one. For those consumers whose rebellious attitudes are based more on clothing choice than anarchist action, designs with aggressive accents provide an outward menace to exemplify inner feelings of discontent.
Trend Themes
1. Aggressive Accents - Designs with aggressive accents provide an outward menace to exemplify inner feelings of discontent.
2. Animalistic Themes - Litter's style joins the growing trend of animal prints.
3. Romantic-punk - The JW Anderson Fall/Winter 2010-11 footwear reiterates the key inspirations that underpin the collection.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - These trends are seen in fashion, such as design, clothing, and accessories.
2. DIY - Some opportunities for innovators lie in the DIY and crafting industry, allowing users to create their own designer-inspired footwear.
3. Music - The aggressive and rebellious styles of these trends are often seen in music, creating an opportunity for companies in the music industry to incorporate them into their products and marketing.
