That was incredibly apparently with his latest line of [wigs and clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-renatural). The hair designs by Mindu include gigantic over-the-top hair wigs, as well as [shirts made of hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair). Interesting to see hair as art and fashion. **Implications** - Consumers love to see products and projects that play with boundaries and, at times, do away with them altogether. A collection such as this definitely inspires conversation and stands out in the minds of those who witness it. Any company hoping to make a mark in an industry fraught with competition would do well to take note at how being unfailingly courageous can pay real dividends. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Artistic Hair Designs:** Opportunity for hair salons and beauty brands to offer innovative and avant-garde hair designs as a form of self-expression. - **Fashion as Conversation Piece:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create unique and eccentric designs that spark conversation and stand out in a competitive industry. - **Boundary-breaking Products:** Opportunity for companies in various industries to develop products that challenge traditional boundaries and captivate consumers' attention. ### Where This Applies - **Hair Salons:** Hair salons can explore offering avant-garde hair designs to cater to customers looking for unique and artistic hair styles. - **Beauty Brands:** Beauty brands can collaborate with innovative hair designers to create unconventional hair products that cater to daring and fashion-forward consumers. - **Fashion Brands:** Fashion brands can embrace eccentric designs like hair garments to create memorable and conversation-starting collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hair-Reusing Fabric Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dutch-startup.md) - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md) - [Queer Wool Runway Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-wool-survive.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Faux Fur Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducies-fw25-collection.md) - [Camel Hair-Made Sustainable Materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cameluxe.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Reimagined Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yves-salomon.md) - [Oversized Pupper Fashion Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-puppets.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md)
