The [deconstructed silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) are vibrant and stylish, with a wide variety of fitted and loose garments. Xander Zhou, however, put great effort in constructing a world around the abnormal fashion, placing the clothing in the context of the other. A robotic female voice was set as the soundtrack at the presentation. With changing phrases like "I am digitized," the audio feature created an [eerie tech-infused ambiance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects). In the rather dystopian context, the models strutted down the runway, wearing contact lenses to dehumanize them and suggest a connection to extra-terrestrial beings. However, it seems the most shocking part of the abnormal fashion presentation was the men, wearing prosthetic pregnant bellies down the runways, signifying a twist in evolution. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Abnormal Fashion Shows:** The exploration of unconventional and futuristic fashion concepts on the runway. - **Deconstructed Silhouettes:** The use of disassembled and unconventional shapes in fashion design. - **Digitized Ambiance:** Creating a robotic and tech-infused atmosphere at fashion shows. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Opportunities for designers to push boundaries and create unconventional fashion collections. - **Audio Technology:** Innovations in sound design and audio features for fashion presentations. - **Cosmetic Industry:** Exploring new possibilities in cosmetic and eye lens designs for fashion shows. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Dynamic Sci-Fi Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Inflatable Dome Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-dome-fashion-show.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md)
