# Wearable Taxidermy The Carlee Fernandez 'Carnage II 7000' Collection of Unusual Animal Fashions By Joanne Lam | Published 2010-04-23 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carlee-fernandez-carnage-ii-7000 References: [carleefernandez](http://www.carleefernandez.com/works/carnage-ii-7000/) Taxidermy hits new heights in the Carlee Fernandez Carnage II 7000 collection of [wearable animal art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion). These wild and funky pieces are definitely one of a kind. Whether or not anyone would actually be dragging a goat suitcase across the airport is questionable. The [buffalo backpack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time) and [antelope fanny pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/labgrown-leather-ltd) seem to have a slightly better chance at making it into the real world, but again, I still wouldn’t count on it. Check out these wacky creations from the Carlee Fernandez Carnage II 7000 taxidermy collection above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wearable Taxidermy Fashion:** A trend of wearable taxidermy fashions could emerge, disrupting the fashion industry and providing opportunities for taxidermists and fashion designers to collaborate. - **Alternative Animal Product Industries:** As consumers become more interested in wearable taxidermy, alternative animal product industries, such as faux taxidermy and synthetic fur, could see increased demand. - **Sustainability in Taxidermy:** A trend towards sustainable taxidermy, using animals that have died of natural causes or ethical hunting practices, could disrupt the traditional taxidermy industry and appeal to environmentally conscious customers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Industry:** Wearable taxidermy fashion could disrupt the traditional fashion industry and provide opportunities for collaborations with taxidermists and fashion designers. - **Taxidermy Industry:** The wearable taxidermy trend could provide new business opportunities for taxidermists to create unique and one-of-a-kind pieces for customers. - **Alternative Materials Industry:** As consumers become more interested in wearable taxidermy, the demand for alternative animal product industries such as faux taxidermy and synthetic fur could increase as ethical alternatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Animal-Shaped Luxury Beanbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-collection.md) - [Biomimetic Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Animal-Themed Streetwear Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cactus-plant-flea-market-1.md) - [Cutting-Edge Wearable Furnishings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuttingedge-wearable-furnishings-mcm-wearable-casa-intersects-luxury-fashio.md) - [Luxury Fashion Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-sculpture.md) - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [Oversized Pupper Fashion Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-puppets.md) - [Eye-Adorned Furry Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeball-mules.md)
