If you're looking for a way to rock this season's [nautical theme in an avant-garde way](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-eyewear-collection), this Dinofleur 24K eyepatch is your must-have accessory. This spiked eyepatch is one of Dinofleur's many unusual [eyepatch creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-rejuvenating-eye-patch), and I thought instantly of Lady Gaga when I saw it.

Although I don't have the confidence to rock this Dinofleur 24K eyepatch, I know some fashionistas who are. See more shots of this [stunning gold accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-monster-7) above.

**Implications** - Colloquial fashion is converging with developing technology to provide a combination of the two. The result: A cyberpunk aesthetic with practicality at its core. Although an eyepatch may seem like an avant-garde proposal today, in a fashion era of constant change, nothing is avant-garde and the consumer is open to essentially anything.
