# 90s Acid-Inspired Apparel BKUND Sweaters Feature Bold Brights and Loud Graphics By Sophia Pelka | Published 2012-03-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bkund-sweaters References: [juicy.mashkulture.net](http://juicy.mashkulture.net/english/2012/02/08/b-kund-sweaters/) & [bkund.blogspot](http://bkund.blogspot.com/) The BKUND Sweaters are shocking and eccentric, with loud coloring and [bold graphics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel). Rendered by Balazs Juhasz, the Hungarian-based designer says of the apparel on his site, "Hoodies and brainf**ks inspired by Sir David Attenborough and chinese factories." The sweaters frequent wildlife graphics, like striking cobras and fierce cougars. The natural images are combined with factory reject colors, including neon pinks with paprika peppering. To tie in the motifs, Juhasz overlays the images with extra animal prints and 90s imagery. Memorable pieces include a full cougar hoodie and a fairy/dolphin mashup crew sweater. BKUND Sweaters includes [hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khl-dynawool-skuba-hoody), [crew neck sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear) and woven pieces. Each piece is hand-rendered, boasting high quality finishes and thoughtful construction. While the artistic design of the works may seem drug-induced, the wear and style of each is done to perfection. The fire lion piece shows just enough collar bone to be feminine, while maintaining the oversized look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Eclectic Apparel Design:** There is an opportunity for aspiring designers to experiment with bold and unconventional designs for apparel. - **Animalistic Graphics:** Clothing items with vivid animalistic prints and graphics could become popular among fashion-forward consumers. - **Handcrafted Fashion Items:** The trend for handmade and high-quality fashion pieces is on the rise, making it possible for entrepreneurs to create unique and carefully crafted fashion items. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can incorporate unconventional designs that play with color and graphics, in order to create unique pieces that stand out from the crowd. - **Print and Design Industry:** Printing and design companies can create bold and unique designs with vivid colors and unconventional animal prints for a range of products, including garments and accessories. - **Handmade and Artisanal Industry:** The handmade and artisanal industry has an opportunity to create premium, high-quality and carefully constructed apparel that appeals to consumers who value unique designs and have a keen eye for fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artist-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lee-x-basquiat.md) - [Jacket-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fleece-parka.md) - [Classic Fisherman-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seafarer-cotton-sweaters.md) - [Cozy Versatile Sweater Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brunette-the-label-2.md) - [Luxe Cartoon-Adorned Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonmin.md) - [Retro Tech Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-holiday-sweater.md) - [Retro 90s Climber Fleeces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-acg-wolf-tree-polartec-fleece.md) - [Understated Men's Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herdsman-sweater-collection.md) - [Playful Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel.md)
