# Dead Bambi Illustrations Alexsandro Palombo Uses Dead Disney Fur for Style By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2011-05-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexsandro References: [blog.thaeger](http://blog.thaeger.com/2011/05/25/who-killed-bambi/) & [humorchic.blogspot](http://www.humorchic.blogspot.com/) Although Bambi is a well-known, kids Disney favorite, Alexsandro Palombo has commandeered this popular icon for a slightly more brutish aim. Bambi is now depicted as a victim of the fashion industry and he literally has Fendi written all over him. Alexsandro Palombo is a cartoon illustration artist and loves poking fun at certain famous individuals. For this collection, Fendi is his muse as he merges Disney icons with high-end fashion. It's hard not to look at Bambi and wonder if the poor little deer had it coming all along. Young Disney lovers will most likely think otherwise and protest the illustrations due to animal cruelty. Either way, Alexsandro Palombo does a great job at fusing high-end fashion with a crude, but entertaining, twist. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cartoon-inspired Fashion:** The fusion of cartoon characters with high-end fashion offers disruptive innovation opportunities to create unique and eye-catching designs. - **Satirical Illustration:** The use of satirical illustrations in fashion can disrupt traditional fashion norms and spark conversation around important topics. - **Animal Rights Activism:** The controversy surrounding the depiction of animals in fashion illustrations presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in animal rights activism within the industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can explore the integration of cartoon characters into their collections to create bold and distinctive designs. - **Illustration and Art:** Incorporating satirical illustrations into artwork and fashion can disrupt traditional art forms and create new avenues of expression. - **Animal Welfare Organizations:** Animal welfare organizations can leverage the controversy surrounding animal depictions in fashion to advocate for change and raise awareness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon Duck-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-x-karl-lagerfeld.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired High Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lion-king-collection.md) - [Back-To-School Disney-Inspired Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-21-x-disney.md) - [Adorable Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberrys-holiday-campaign.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Edgy Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfe-bambi-boot.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Animal-Shaped Luxury Beanbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-collection.md)
