Popstar Apocalyptic Armor

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Ian Finch-Field Steampunk Robot Arm is Justin Bieber Approved

— November 8, 2011 — Tech
Just when you think Justin Bieber's most shocking style move would be chopping his iconic locks, he busts out an armored accessory like the Ian Finch-Field Steampunk Robot Arm and a futuristic frenzy for the item is sure to ensue.

Finch Field, a master in crafting post-apocalyptic wearable art, created the arm using odds and ends including rivets, nuts, bolts, pocket watch pieces, and LED lighting, to give it a rustic robotic feel. Bieber sports the Steampunk creation in his 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Video,' supporting the Finch-Field's British Colombian-based artistry. Only ten of the limited edition arms will be made and created, each autographed by the artist and bearing its own one-of-a-kind quirks.

The Ian Finch-Field Steampunk Robot Arm is an awesome add-on upper limb accessory and happens to be the coolest in popstar approved prosthetics.
Trend Themes
1. Steampunk Wearable Art - The trend of creating post-apocalyptic wearable art using found objects and LED lighting provides opportunities for artists creating unique, handmade accessories and high-end fashion designers looking to incorporate alternative materials.
2. Limited Edition Accessories - Producing limited runs of unique accessories, like the Ian Finch-Field Steampunk Robot Arm, provides opportunities for one-of-a-kind, high-end accessories that cater to exclusive clientèle.
3. Celebrity-endorsed Prosthetics - The trend of celebrities wearing prosthetics and creating a cultural interest in unique prosthetics provides opportunities for artists and designers to create customized prosthetics and unique add-on limb accessories.
Industry Implications
1. Artisan Accessories - Handmade, unique accessories that incorporate found objects and alternative materials, like steampunk accessories, provide opportunities for artisan designers and makers to sell to niche markets.
2. High-end Fashion - Incorporating unique, limited edition accessories into high-end fashion collections provides opportunities for designers to create exclusive, one-of-a-kind pieces that cater to high-end markets and appeal to collectors.
3. Prosthetics Manufacturing - As unique prosthetics get more attention in pop culture, there are opportunities for prosthetic manufacturers to offer customized, artistically designed prosthetics that cater to customers looking for unique, personalized designs.
