After all, what goes better with silver ruffles than a shiny black [designer guitar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragment)? The guitar debuted at the Paris Spring 2009 show inconspicuously slung over the shoulder of one of the models strutting down the catwalk. The guitar appeared again, this time in its white-hot signature [quilted Chanel case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026). The guitar complete with its carrying bag and couture strap sells for about £2800. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 53% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luxury Musical Instruments:** The launch of the Chanel guitar highlights the trend of luxury brands creating high-end musical instruments. - **Fashion-meets-music Collaboration:** The collaboration between Chanel and the music industry showcases the trend of fashion brands partnering with musicians to create unique products. - **Designer Accessories for Musicians:** The Chanel guitar represents the trend of designers branching out into the world of musical instrument accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Luxury Goods:** The luxury goods industry has the opportunity to tap into the market for high-end musical instruments and accessories. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore partnerships with musicians to create fashionable and unique instruments and accessories. - **Music:** The music industry can benefit from collaborations with fashion brands to create innovative and stylish musical instruments and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion-Forward Guitar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gibson-and-marc-jacobs.md) - [Reimagined High-End Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highend-guitar.md) - [Exclusive Musician-Inspired Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Limited-Edition-HER-STRATOCASTER-Guitar.md) - [Playful Music Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loog-x-hello-kitty.md) - [Adorable Exclusive Music Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-and-sanrio.md) - [Inaugural Luxury Furniture Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karl-lagerfelds-namesake-brand.md) - [Futuristic Abstract Musical Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeta-electric-guitar.md) - [Affordable Retro-Style Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrostyle-guitar.md) - [Fully Functional Statement Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premiere-sound.md)
