# Futuristic Tribal Warrior Fashion Thierry Mugler Presents 'Brothers of Arcadia' Collection By Milla Kiss | Published 2011-06-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brothers-of-arcadia References: [fashionblog.it](http://www.fashionblog.it/post/13224/parigi-moda-uomo-primavera-estate-2012-thierry-mugler) & [fordmodelsblog](http://fordmodelsblog.com/2011/06/22/thierry-mugler-menswear-ss-2012/) The 'Brothers of Arcadia' by Thierry Mugler is the designer's SS 2012 Menswear collection, presented on the first day of the Paris Fashion Week. The line draws inspiration from Earthly tribes, but also looks like it's from outer space. Linking back to Mugler's iconic perfume, Alien, the 'Brothers of Arcadia' collection successfully brings together two seemingly contrasting concepts. On one hand, the collection contains deep tribal elements of ancient ages, hence the title 'Brothers of Arcadia;' however, on the other hand, the style and color choice channels the cartoon and manga world of contemporary aliens and futuristic superheroes. The 'Brothers of Arcadia' show was very much anticipated thanks to the collection's teaser video, and Mugler did not disappoint his fans with this alien army. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Tribal-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate ancient tribal elements into modern designs. - **Futuristic Superhero Style:** Potential for fashion brands to create collections that blend futuristic elements with the aesthetics of superheroes. - **Outer Space-inspired Fashion:** Space-themed fashion designs offer exciting opportunities for brands to tap into a cosmic aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore new design concepts by merging ancient tribal elements with futuristic styles. - **Perfume:** Perfume brands can leverage the connection between fragrance and fashion by creating scents inspired by tribal and outer space concepts. - **Entertainment:** The combination of tribal and futuristic styles in fashion opens up possibilities for collaborations with entertainment brands such as comics and animation studios. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [Conceptual Memory-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25.md) - [Avant Garde Seasonal Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic.md) - [Bug-Like Avant-Garde Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-01.md)
