# Puff Ball Pigtails Bourgeois by 'Party Noire' is Alina Cosma's Eccentric Punk Line By Yoon Sui Yin | Published 2009-06-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourgeois-punk References: [dexigner](http://www.dexigner.com/fashion/news-g17788.html) & [partynoire](http://www.partynoire.com) Party Noire is a label by Romanian couturier Alina Cosma. Her latest collection called Bourgeois Punk was launched in May 2009. With the [current preoccupation with vampires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colourpop-x-twilight), I am convinced (since as legend goes, vampires originated from Romania thanks to Bram Stoker) Romania should be the *it* place to travel to this year! In Alina’s words, "Bourgeois Punk, the new collection, was conceived with a strong focus on the 24-hour dress to suit the lifestyle of the modern woman and allow her to enjoy the busy day and her success." According to InStyle magazine, Cate Blanchett, Jessica Alba and Anne Hathaway are already Party Noire fans. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Bourgeois Punk Collection:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Create a line of eccentric punk fashion with a strong focus on 24-hour dresses for the modern woman. - **Romanian Fashion:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Tap into the emerging fashion market in Romania, known for its rich history and vampire legends. - **Celebrity Endorsements:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Collaborate with celebrities to promote and expand the reach of a fashion brand. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Introduce unique and eccentric fashion designs that cater to the modern lifestyle of women. - **Travel Industry:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop travel programs and experiences that capitalize on the vampire-themed tourism in Romania. - **Entertainment Industry:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Work with celebrity stylists to showcase avant-garde fashion collections on red carpets and in movies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Opulent Holiday Apparel Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brunette-the-label-3.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1.md) - [Whimsical Doll-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pidgin.md) - [Comedic Horror Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-x-beetlejuice.md) - [Vampire Film Makeup Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colourpops-twilight-makeup.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md) - [Vampire Film Makeup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colourpop-x-twilight.md)
