# Snobby Couture Sweaters This Designer Sweater Provides an Unsympathetic Distinction By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2015-01-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-sweater References: [shop.nylon](http://shop.nylon.com/collections/whats-new/products/i-am-designer-u-r-not-sweatshirt) & [burgerandfriends](http://www.burgerandfriends.com/) This designer sweater by [Burger and Friends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-juicy-burger) finds a creative way to let others know that you're designer-grade. It reads, "I am [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prada-and-miu-miu). You are [Crocs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-crocs)." I think I speak for all of us when I say, "Way harsh, Tai!" If you're going to liken yourself to a piece of footwear, chances are you wouldn't pick the Croc, a shoe that has been mercilessly mocked for its clunky and unattractive appearance. Not to make a blanket statement here, but I think most of us would rather equate ourselves to a sleek, designer heel. Unfortunately, we can't all be the Prada stiletto or a Manolo wedge, and that's where this shirt comes in. If you need to tout your fashion superiority to the surrounding plebs, this sweater is definitely the way to go. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Designer Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create designer clothing that showcases fashion superiority. - **Self-expression:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop customizable clothing that allows individuals to express their unique style and preferences. - **Humorous Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design clothing that incorporates humor and satire to make a fashion statement. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Apparel and Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology into clothing to enhance functionality and style. - **Personal Branding:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create products and services that help individuals build and showcase their personal brand effectively. - **Streetwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with artists and designers to create unique and limited-edition fashion pieces that appeal to the streetwear market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion-Forward Tennis Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-activewear.md) - [Luxury Collaborative Fuzzy Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-crocs.md) - [Fully Faux Fur-Lined Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-fur.md) - [High Fashion Clog Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-x-jean-paul-gaultier.md) - [Statement Fur Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-tpain.md) - [Distressed Luxury Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distressed-luxury-knitwear.md) - [Sustainable Cable Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eloise-wool-sweater.md) - [Understated Festive Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christina-fair-isle-cardigan.md) - [Collaborative Butter-Brand Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugly-sweater-x-danish-creamery.md)
