Two pieces from the seasonal range are complete in the artist's painting in a perfect blend of [fashion and art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-and-murakami) -- the 'Packable Hood Poncho' and the 'Panelled Parka' boast functional elements whilst still highlighting stylistic sensibilities. The jackets are both constructed from [lightweight nylon materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wname) and are adorned in an all-over print of Manet's artwork from the 17th century. The paintings evoke a sense of romanticism, reference the era and bring a sense of softness to the apparel. The bold print is adorned with branding details infused through rubber patchwork stitched on the back and the arms. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Impressionist-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate Impressionist art into clothing designs. - **Art-inspired Functional Clothing:** Opportunity to blend art and function in clothing design. - **Collaborative Art and Fashion Collections:** Opportunity for artists and fashion brands to collaborate on collection designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can leverage Impressionist art in new designs. - **Art:** Art industry can collaborate with fashion brands on art-inspired collections. - **Retail:** Retail industry can benefit from selling unique, art-inspired clothing items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion-Forward Insulated Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moncler-and-jw-anderson.md) - [Wearable Art Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march-1.md) - [Artist-Themed Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buttercloth.md) - [Artist-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lee-x-basquiat.md) - [AR-Themed Jacket Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beta-ar.md) - [Art-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitesse.md) - [Colorful Boldly Patterned Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yinka-ilori-1.md) - [Boxy Botanical Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-jacket.md) - [Museum-Collaborative Streetwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-van-gogh-musum.md)
