While the loveable leading characters of Disney films have inspired countless apparel and accessory collaborations, this new runway collection paid tribute to some of the most infamous villains like [The Little Mermaid's Ursula](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariel-swipe) and her eel companions, Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmations, as well as plenty of other recognizable Disney icons. The Blonds is known for creating luxurious, rebellious fashion that pays tribute to pop culture and this is not the first time it has turned to villainous characters for inspiration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Villainous Fashion:** Fashion is taking inspiration from iconic Disney villains and adding new twists. - **Pop Culture Collaborations:** Collaborations with popular culture sources like Disney are becoming a mainstay in fashion. - **Celebrity Modeled Collections:** Surprise appearances and celebrity influence is becoming an increasingly popular trend in fashion shows. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can use villains in popular media as inspiration for new collections and designs. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment studios could explore new revenue streams from fashion and pop culture collaborations. - **Beauty:** Beauty brands can tap into the popularity of pop culture figures like Paris Hilton and Patrick Starr to promote new product lines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Villainous Mobile Device Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-villains-x-casetify.md) - [Villain Inspired Fragrance Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-villains-2.md) - [Back-To-School Disney-Inspired Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-21-x-disney.md) - [Cartoon Duck-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-x-karl-lagerfeld.md) - [Couture Collector Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viktorrolf-x-disney.md) - [Soft-Colored Disney Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule.md) - [Cozy Cartoon-Themed Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pleasing-3.md) - [Cartoon-Themed Performance Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-x-lululemon.md)
