# Anime-Inspired Apparel The Anne Sofie Madsen SS14 Collection is Dynamic By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-08-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anne-sofie-madsen-ss14 References: [nordicstylemag](http://www.nordicstylemag.com/2013/08/anne-sofie-madsen-ss14/) The Anne Sofie Madsen SS14 collection that recently debuted at Copenhagen Fashion Week plays up mostly black and white elements, emulating the lines and patterns of a graphic novel. Although the collection takes cues from [Japanese manga and animation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-kaikai-kiki), which can be quite sweet, the garments take on a [tough aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects). The name of the collection is 'Post-Human Speed,' which embodies [Transformer-like shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) that break up the body into robot-like segments and overly-accentuate some body parts like torsos and arms. One all-black garment has grille-like detailing like you'd find on a car. The gorgeous collection captures the beauty of the animated style with the ferocity and power of a human-machine hybrid. Alike a graphic novel, these garments manage to capture all the dynamism of a graphic novel without at all being flat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anime-inspired Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of apparel that combines anime aesthetics with edgy, tough design elements. - **Graphic Novel Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a collection that emulates the dynamic and dynamic storytelling found in graphic novels through clothing designs. - **Human-machine Hybrid Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design garments that incorporate robotic elements and accentuate body parts to create a futuristic and powerful aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to blend different artistic influences and create unique fashion collections. - **Anime and Manga:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion designers to bring anime and manga aesthetics to the forefront of the fashion industry. - **Comic Book and Graphic Novel Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with fashion designers to create clothing lines inspired by popular comic book and graphic novel characters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bold Anime-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule-hellsing.md) - [Anime Sport Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchyroll-x-adidas.md) - [High-Fashion Anime Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-x-frgmt-x-pokmon-collection.md) - [Anime-Inspired Streetwear Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graniph-1.md) - [Anime Anniversary Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/initial-d-x-blackeyepatch.md) - [Spring-Ready Technical Danish Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fce-2.md) - [Anime-Inspired Uniform-Style Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fira-x-wear.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md)
