# Skull-Covered Suits Vincent LaCrocq Rocks Comme des Garcons in Dapper Dan Magazine By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2011-05-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dapper-dan-magazine References: [thefashionisto](http://thefashionisto.com/vincent-lacrocq-by-vassilis-karidis-for-dapper-dan-magazine/) & [dapperdanmagazine](http://www.dapperdanmagazine.com/) Model Vincent LaCrocq gives life to [skull fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx) in this editorial for Dapper Dan magazine. Photographer Vassilis Karidis and stylist Nicholas Georgiou combine creative forces for the black-and-white pictorial, which features LaCrocq walking down an [urban street](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march) in separates from the [Comme des Garcons Spring 2011 collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-3). The fashion featured in this Dapper Dan editorial heavily favors a skull theme, but abstract prints and stripes are also included. In all of the images, LaCrocq wears a striped woven beanie -- even when the rest of his outfit is composed of skull prints. This intentional pattern-clashing adds to the lax, devil-may-care attitude the model exhibits throughout the editorial. My favorite outfit from the Dapper Dan magazine shoot is the first one, in which Vincent LaCrocq dons a skull-covered blazer and long shorts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Skull Fashion:** Opportunities for designing new skull-themed clothing and accessories. - **Abstract Prints:** Potential for creating unique and eye-catching abstract print designs in fashion. - **Pattern-clashing:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in combining contrasting patterns in clothing and accessories. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** The fashion industry can explore new designs and collections inspired by skull themes. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Opportunities for producing fabrics and materials with abstract prints for fashion and home decor. - **Retail and Fashion Merchandising:** Potential for showcasing and marketing pattern-clashing outfits and accessories to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Monster-Adorned Capsule Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-collections.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Artful Luxe Fashion Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otani.md) - [Designer-Approved Western Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dapper-dan-1.md) - [Designer Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-gdragon.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [Colorful Zodiac Motif Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-x-kaws.md)
