# Skeleton Cloaks Anatomical Sharpie Art Coats Show Your Insides On The Outside By Cowbag | Published 2009-04-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatomical-sharpie-art-coats-that-show-your-insides-on-the-outside References: [streetanatomy](http://streetanatomy.com/blog/2009/04/03/anatomic-fashion-friday-–-4-days-and-10-pens/) I'm loving the increasing use of Sharpie pens in art - it seems all the money using David Beckham to advertise for the pens has not gone to waste after all. This super cool coat is by Jamie Avis in her trademark style; she coats various materials with patterns using her loyal Sharpie. There is no arguing that this simple technique delivers some pretty awesome results. **Implications** - Technology in contemporary society allows many individuals to gain insight in areas that were previously unavailable. A business would be wise to consider how their products allow this access to untrodden territory. Providing customers with this access, no matter how superficial, will satisfy this growing desire for knowledge in various fields of study. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sharpie Art Fashion:** The increasing use of Sharpie pens in fashion allows for unique, personalized designs. - **Anatomical Art:** Anatomical art provides a new way for individuals to express themselves through their clothing choices. - **DIY Clothing Design:** The popularity of Sharpie art in fashion opens up more opportunities for individuals to create their own personalized designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate Sharpie art and anatomical designs into their clothing lines to appeal to a wider audience. - **Art Supplies:** Sharpie and other art supply companies can promote their products for use in fashion design and DIY projects. - **Education:** This trend could be used as a teaching tool, helping educate individuals about anatomy and art through fashion design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Play Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpie-studio.md) - [Creatively Sponsored Art Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-battle-event.md) - [Cheeky Pen Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpie-sgel-pen.md) - [Playful Creativity-Focused Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-world-is-your-canvas.md) - [Playful Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel.md) - [Wearable Art Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march-1.md) - [Creativity-Fostering Art Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-walls.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Branded Custom Device Skins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-device-skins.md)
