# Fashion-Conscious Axes The Winter 2010 Collection Axes by Best Made By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-02-26 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/best-made References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/winter-2010-axes-by-best-made-co/) & [shop.bestmadeco](http://www.shop.bestmadeco.com/category.sc?categoryId=12) You may not have been aware of this, but [fashion trends and new releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gibson-and-marc-jacobs) have become popular in the woodworking industry. Or at least, that's the conclusion I'm led to with the new [Winter 2010 Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madewell-the-chalet-shop) of Best Made axes. Regular axes are just so boring...drab...a neutral-colored ax is obviously a fashion no-no. If you want to wow your lumberjack friends (and who wouldn't want to wow them?), you need a Best Made ax. The handles come in wildly imaginative colors, from bright yellow to red and white polka dot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fashion-forward Woodworking Tools:** Opportunity for woodworking tool manufacturers to incorporate trendy design elements into their products. - **Personalized Colorful Handles:** Opportunity to offer customizable and vibrant handles for various woodworking tools. - **Cross-industry Collaboration:** Opportunity for fashion designers and woodworking tool manufacturers to collaborate and create stylish tools. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Woodworking Tool Manufacturing:** Opportunity for woodworking tool manufacturers to embrace fashion-conscious designs and attract a new customer base. - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for fashion designers to expand their creative portfolio by incorporating their designs into woodworking tools. - **Home Improvement Retail:** Opportunity for retailers to sell trendy and fashionable woodworking tools alongside traditional ones. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion-Forward Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-blanket.md) - [Carbon Fiber Handle Axes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-reaper-damascus-axe.md) - [Modernized Campsite Axes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gerber-bushcraft-axe.md) - [Proficient Pack-Friendly Axes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-axe.md) - [Collaboration Backcountry Hatchets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adler-hatchet.md) - [Blockish Tread-Covered Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-24-boot.md) - [Chromatic EDC Knife Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-james-brand-bright-collection.md) - [Ebony-Accented EDC Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-james-brand-ebony-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md)
