# Crazy Circus Couture Anna Sui's Ringmaster Spring 2010 Collection By Jacqueline Parrish | Published 2009-09-18 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anna-sui-spring-2010 References: [coutorture](http://www.coutorture.com/5043759?page=0,0,164) & [annasui](http://www.annasui.com/) With Anna Sui’s [circus theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) this spring, ringmaster modes (perhaps inspired by Ms. Spears' latest circus concert tour?), were all the rage with Sui’s high-top inspired circus animal prints, ringmaster jackets and re-colored Liberty prints a la Anna Sui. While undoubtedly entertaining, I do have my doubts that the current ringmaster modes will take hold of the industry and that we will see circus-clad characters trolling the streets in them. **Implications** - In the last few years, contemporary society has been dominated by a newfound thirst for [stylistic originality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet). One of the best ways a company can ensure it will attract fashion-conscious consumers is by featuring clothing with radical, [avant-garde designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection). By featuring clothing whose designs are so radical that they are immediately identifiable, the company shows it is not afraid to think outside of the box and appeal to niche consumers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Circus-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to experiment with avant-garde designs inspired by the circus. - **Ringmaster-inspired Clothing:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate ringmaster-inspired jackets and prints into their clothing lines. - **Animal Prints:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate animal prints into their designs, inspired by the circus theme. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can use the circus theme and ringmaster-inspired clothing to attract niche consumers and experiment with avant-garde designs. - **Textiles:** Opportunity for textile companies to produce fabrics and prints inspired by the circus and animal prints. - **Costume Design:** Costume designers can use the circus-inspired trend to create theatrical and unique costumes for productions and performances. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Playful Spring-Forward Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Cowboy-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fw-2024.md)
