# Retro Print Fashion The Boxing Kitten Fall 2011 Line is Inspired by WWII G.I. Pin-Up Models By Meghan Young | Published 2011-07-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boxing-kitten-fall-2011 References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/boxing-kitten-s-fall-11-lookbook-sets-the-runway-stage-for-bold-prints) & [boxingkitten](http://boxingkitten.com) Color might be a huge fashion fad right now, but it is nice to see some pattern thrown into the mix thanks to the Boxing Kitten Fall 2011 collection. Although just as chromatic as many other collections out there, the hues are rather subdued to let these plethora of retro patterns take precedence. With its Hollandaise prints and Ankara fabrics, the collection was influenced by WWII G.I. pin-up favorites like Betty Grable. As you can see throughout the lookbook, the designs evoke the spirit and lives of these mid-Century American women. Although the Boxing Kitten Fall 2011 collection may seem slightly overwhelming considering that the lookbook focuses on pairing all these print creations together, they can easily be mixed and matched into more manageable outfits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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's Driving This Trend - **Retro Print Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable retro print fabrics using advanced digital printing technology. - **Patterned Fashion Collections:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create customizable patterned fashion collections using AI-powered design tools for personalization. - **Vintage-inspired Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine vintage aesthetics with sustainable materials to create eco-friendly vintage-inspired fashion lines. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate augmented reality technology in fashion design to virtually showcase retro print patterns. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement 3D printing technology in textile manufacturing to produce intricate and unique retro print fabrics. - **Retail and E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize virtual try-on technology in retail and e-commerce platforms to enhance the shopping experience for patterned fashion collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Archive-Inspired Retro Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-collection.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Print-Focused Swim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta.md) - [Heritage-Inspired Bold Workwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-fw25.md) - [Girlhood-Inspired Clothing Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-dens-sweet-cheeks.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Scrapbook-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md)
