# Headless Zip-Ups The Beheading of Antoinette Hoodie is a Hilarious Tribute to Royalty By Michael Hines | Published 2010-06-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beheading-of-antoinette-hoodie References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/hoodie-that-lets-you-behead-marie-antoinette/) & [threadless](http://www.threadless.com/submission/281464/The_Beheading_of_Antoinette?streetteam=laughingsquid) The Beheading of Antoinette hoodie is a hilarious design from Leroy Hornblower (awesome name) that let's you decapitate the queen with the pull of a zipper. I'd expect shouts of, "Off with her head!" to increase when wearing the Beheading of Antoinette hoodie. This jacket is such a [simple and clever design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimono-hoodie) that you have to wonder why nobody thought of it sooner. Marie Antoinette's famous quote, "Let them eat cake," is also printed on this hoodie. You don't have to be a [revolutionary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/libertas) to love this design, but it couldn't hurt. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Headless Fashion:** The Beheading of Antoinette hoodie showcases a trend of incorporating playful and humorous elements into clothing design. - **Revolutionary Apparel:** This hoodie represents a trend of expressing rebellion and counterculture through fashion. - **Historical Humor:** The incorporation of Marie Antoinette's quote adds to the trend of using historical references in a humorous way in fashion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The Beheading of Antoinette hoodie highlights an innovative opportunity for fashion brands to create unique and attention-grabbing designs. - **Apparel Manufacturing:** The incorporation of interactive elements like zippers in clothing design presents opportunities for apparel manufacturers to create engaging and interactive products. - **Historical Merchandise:** The popularity of the Beheading of Antoinette hoodie suggests a potential market for historical-themed merchandise that blends humor and pop culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Convertible Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zip-off-holiday-sweater.md) - [Limited-Edition True Crime Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serial-killer-shop.md) - [Grim Heirloom Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-wishes-jacket.md) - [Villain-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx.md) - [Understated V-Neck Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimono-hoodie.md) - [Blackout Napping Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabeau.md) - [Cheeky Holiday Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conversation-stoppers.md) - [Artist-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lee-x-basquiat.md) - [Freedom-Theme Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/libertas.md)
