# Furry Fashionista Escorts Ted Sabares Collaborates With Artist Nick Cave for 'Creature Couture' By Meghan Young | Published 2010-10-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creature-couture References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Creature-Couture/772259) & [tedsabarese](http://www.tedsabarese.com) The 'Creature Couture' fashion feature is comprised of the oddest pairings I have ever seen in a photoshoot. New York-based photographer Ted Sabarese teamed up with American artist Nick cave for this 'Creature Couture' spread. Known best as a fabric sculptor, Nick Cave has many talents. Thus, it's not surprising that Cave came to mind when Sabarese was looking to create a fashion-forward spread. The result is nothing short of stunning. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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's Driving This Trend - **Animal-inspired Fashion:** There is an opportunity for designers to incorporate animal-inspired elements into their fashion collections, creating unique and eye-catching pieces. - **Collaborative Photography:** Collaborations between photographers and artists offer the chance to create visually compelling and boundary-pushing fashion editorials. - **Unconventional Pairings:** Exploring unexpected partnerships in the fashion industry can lead to innovative and captivating results, showcasing the power of mixing different artistic perspectives. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can embrace the trend of incorporating animal-inspired elements into their collections, disrupting traditional fashion norms and capturing the attention of trend-conscious consumers. - **Photography:** Photographers can explore collaborations with artists to create visually stunning and conceptually rich fashion photography, offering a fresh perspective and capturing the interest of fashion magazines and brands. - **Art:** Artists have the opportunity to extend their creative vision to the fashion industry, collaborating with designers and photographers to innovate and transform fashion editorials with their unique artistic flair. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Teddy Bear-Centric Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boss-2.md) - [Animal-Shaped Luxury Beanbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-collection.md) - [Monster-Adorned Capsule Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-collections.md) - [Artful Luxe Fashion Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otani.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Luxury Fashion Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-sculpture.md) - [Art-Infused Workwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nepenthes-capsule.md) - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.md)
