# Morbid Fairytale Remakes 'Black Alice' is a Dark Twist on the Magic of Wonderland By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-08-25 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-alice-gisela-moscardini References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Black-Alice/150319) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/blame) 'Alice in Wonderland' was already a rather twisted story to begin with, but the ‘Black Alice’ collection by Gisela Moscardini blows that right out of the water. Gisela Moscardini's ‘Black Alice’ collection takes the classic story and puts a mature/[morbid taste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnightblack-collection) to it with powerful imagery through character representation as well as the occurrences within the photographs. Alice is physically tied up in more than one, and the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts just come off as creepy. Gisela Moscardini's ‘Black Alice’ is a very interesting and adult-oriented (by that I mean don’t show children) interpretation of this [iconic tale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection) into a [fantasy world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-of-oz). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mature/morbid Fairytales:** Creating dark and twisted versions of classic fairytales offers an opportunity for artists to explore alternative storytelling and cater to adult audiences. - **Powerful Imagery:** Using impactful visuals and strong symbolism in artistic representations allows for a deeper exploration of themes and emotions. - **Fantasy for Adults:** Developing fantasy worlds with mature themes and content provides entertainment options specifically tailored for adult consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Photography:** Artists and photographers can create unique and captivating works by reimagining classic fairytales in a darker and more mature style. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can tap into the demand for adult-oriented fantasy content by producing films, TV shows, or books based on morbid fairytale remakes. - **Fashion and Design:** Fashion designers can draw inspiration from morbid fairytale remakes to create avant-garde and edgy collections that appeal to consumers seeking alternative aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Harlequin-Patterned Décor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alices-adventures-collection.md) - [Whimsical Halloween Decor Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michaels-alices-adventures-collection.md) - [Whimsically Designed Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowley-manor-experimental.md) - [Villainous Bridal Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allure-bridals-disney-bridal-gowns.md) - [Storybook-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mischief-academy.md) - [Equitable Fairy Tale Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-tales-by-odeabank.md) - [Fairytale Mystery Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fairytale-files-interactive-murder-mysteries.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Diverse African Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul.md)
