A recent graduate of Ryerson’s design program, Fenuta breaks the mold as one of Toronto’s up-and-coming [avant-garde designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens). Risky business is much better (and cooler) than no business. Angelene Fenuta's first completed collection titled 'Litis' reflects her enthrallment with [free will](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova); Fenuta breaks free from traditional constraints by using industrial material to create [unique form and highly intricate detail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion). Angelene Fenuta's pieces are a lovely marriage of intellectual concept, strength and beauty, and she continues to pursue to break the boundaries of accepted fashion perspective. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Industrial Fashion:** Designers incorporating industrial materials to break traditional fashion boundaries. - **Avant-garde Fashion:** Designers pushing the limits of fashion norms to create unique and intricate pieces. - **Intellectual Fashion:** Fashion concepts incorporating philosophical ideas to challenge traditional thinking. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Designers and fashion houses looking to break traditional boundaries and create new trends. - **Industrial Design:** Exploring new ways to incorporate industrial materials into fashion. - **Philosophy:** The fashion industry incorporating philosophical ideas into their designs to create intellectual pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Immersive Fashion Week Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-week-fall-2024.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Gen X-Targeted Fashion Labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regalo-studios.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md)
