# Eccentric Space-Age Fashion Hoolaskirts By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-11-22 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoolaskirts References: [trenddelacreme](http://www.trenddelacreme.com/2008/11/hoola-hoops-and-cage-skirts-unite.html) & [hoolaskirts](http://hoolaskirts.com/) Linda Clifford's eccentric Hoolaskirts are inspired not by the Jetsons, but by a trip to the Burning Man Festival. There, she was inspired to create her own [walking art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks), and Hoolaskirts certainly excel in that endeavor. Linda Clifford has a background in corsetry, and her [cage-like Hoolaskirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cut-off-brief-skirt) certainly feature that structured influence. Hoolaskirts are meant to be worn as a part of a [party outfit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025); while they'd be right at home at a rave or massive event like the Burning Man Festival, I'm fairly positive that Hoolaskirts wouldn't be welcomed as appropriate attire for more intimate holiday affairs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eccentric Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include creating unique and unconventional clothing designs that stand out in the fashion industry. - **Walking Art Installations:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in creating wearable art pieces that combine fashion and visual art to create a unique experience for the wearer and viewer. - **Corsetry-inspired Designs:** Incorporating corsetry elements into clothing designs presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry, merging traditional and modern aesthetics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by embracing eccentric and unconventional fashion designs such as Hoolaskirts. - **Art:** The art industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by merging fashion and visual art to create interactive and wearable art installations. - **Apparel Manufacturing:** Apparel manufacturers can embrace disruptive innovation by incorporating corsetry-inspired elements into their clothing designs, creating unique and structured garments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Long-Lasting Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rave-and-festival-fashion.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Inclusive Bewitching Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hocus-pocus-apparel-collection.md) - [Artistic Dress NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses.md) - [Towel-Resembling Luxe Skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/towel-skirt.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Luminous Galactic-Themed Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-couture.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [Functional Activewear Skorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harland-threads.md)
