# Art Meets Merchandising McQueen Bones Exhibitor for Puma By irenesco | Published 2008-02-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-meets-merchandising-mcqueen-bones-exhibitor-for-puma References: [fashionblog.it](http://www.fashionblog.it) Alexander McQueen has designed a suggestive and somehow astonishing sculpture within his collaboration with Puma. The huge "Bones", made of glass fiber and steel, has been inspired by the skeleton structure of both a puma and a man. Is it a museum piece? No, it's an amazing exhibitor structure realized just for the most exclusive stores (since last week there is one in Antonioli store in Milan) to expose McQueen/Puma SS 2008 styilish shoes collection. The bone theme that inspired several shoes, i.e. "anatomical bone" is emphasized by this quaint creation. Cool merchandising, isn't it? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bones-inspired Designs:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create unique products inspired by skeletal structures. - **Experiential Exhibitors:** Potential for brands to create immersive and visually striking exhibition structures to showcase their products. - **Collaborative Artistic Ventures:** Growing trend of artists partnering with brands to create unique and customized products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can capitalize on the trend of creating visually impactful in-store displays and merchandise presentations. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore collaborations with brands to create innovative and visually captivating products and installations. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can leverage unique exhibition structures and customized products to create exclusive and immersive shopping experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Skeletal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Pop-Up Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodyscape-installation.md) - [Inflatable Dome Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-dome-fashion-show.md) - [Luxurious Holiday Gift Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2024.md) - [Sculptural Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-exhibition.md) - [Technical Collaborative Sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xt6-expanse-ltr.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md)
