# Candy Floss Fashion Inbar Spector Spring 2009 By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-12-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-floss-fashions-inbar-spector-spring-2009 References: [kingdomofstyle.typepad](http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk/my_weblog/2008/12/spector-spectacle.html) Inbar Spector is having a little ‘circus snack’ fun, Gothic style in her [Spring 2009 collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splendid-srping-2025). The pale blue dress and jacket look as though they were inspired by [candy floss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluffee-floss) - light as air, twisted and spun. Spector has not left her signature [black and white designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) behind though. Layers of fluff and feathers over latex leggings and high lace-up boots reflect her goth flair. I can’t omit the hair styling. Mile long twisted strands and braids are coiled around the models head with a few pieces left to dangle. You have to love Inbar’s sensational artistic panache shown again in this collection for spring. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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's Driving This Trend - **Gothic Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion industry to explore edgy, dark-inspired designs and unconventional styling techniques. - **Exaggerated Silhouettes:** Opportunities to revolutionize the fashion industry by experimenting with dramatic and oversized shapes, adding a touch of playfulness and whimsy. - **Texture Play:** Innovative possibilities in fashion and textile industries for creating unique textures by layering fluff, feathers, and other unconventional materials. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can embrace disruptive innovations by exploring gothic aesthetics, exaggerated silhouettes, and unconventional textures. - **Textile:** Opportunities in the textile industry to experiment with unconventional materials and techniques to create unique textures. - **Hairstyling:** The hairstyling industry can explore innovative techniques for coiling and braiding hair to create elaborate and eye-catching hairstyles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy-Inspired Holiday Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candyinspired.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [LED-Infused Festival Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinsel-arcade.md) - [Fabric-Centric Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-nation-5.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md)
