# Cat-Throwing Vice Magazine Snaps Some Questionably Fashionable Photos By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2009-07-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-photoshoots-vice-magazine References: [viceland](http://www.viceland.com/fashion/2009/07/flying-cats/) Vice Magazine always manages to stay on the cutting-edge by pushing the boundaries of what we deem to be ‘normal.’ Fashion shoots are usually associated with skinny models, not throwing cats. This self-admittedly foolish idea for a fashion shoot is said to be “a metaphorical battle between good and evil as represented by a fight between flying cats!” Vice goes on to explain that the red cat in the photos is bad and the gray is good. I have to be honest and say that I don’t follow what this metaphor is at all, but I do think this is a sweet idea for an avant garde photoshoot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Avant Garde Fashion Shoots:** Exploring unconventional and boundary-pushing concepts in fashion photography. - **Metaphorical Concepts in Photography:** Using symbolic representations to tell a visual story. - **Controversial Artistic Expressions:** Challenging societal norms and eliciting strong reactions through creative mediums. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Photography:** Opportunities for photographers to experiment with unconventional concepts and create visually striking imagery. - **Art Galleries:** Platforms for showcasing controversial and thought-provoking art pieces that challenge traditional notions of beauty and aesthetics. - **Fashion Design:** Inspiration for designers to push boundaries and incorporate avant-garde elements into their collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Playful Billboard Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamies-treats.md) - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Influencer-Inspired Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomcat.md) - [Unconventional Foodie Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-magazine.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [DTC Cat Lifestyle Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-person.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Feline-Themed Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gatto-bianco.md)
