# Slithering Snake Accessories The Igor Oussenko 'Pythoned' Stars a Real Python By Meghan Young | Published 2010-10-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/igor-oussenko-pythoned References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Pythoned/722870) & [envy-studio.ru](http://envy-studio.ru/) The Igor Oussenko 'Pythoned' photo series shows that there's no better way to complement edgy, leather fashion than with a real live python thrown into the mix. Kudos to the nameless model who let it slither around her neck. No wonder 'America's Next Top Model' always features a critter/creature episode. Yet, not all the images in the Igor Oussenko 'Pythoned' portfolio feature this deadly snake. Considering that one wouldn't want their designs to be trumped by a gimmicky prop, I understand why. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Live Animal Accessories:** Introducing live animals as accessories to fashion can create a unique brand statement that sets it apart from competitors. - **Edgy Fashion Props:** Creative use of props can add value and uniqueness to edgy fashion photo shoots and displays. - **Wildlife-inspired Fashion:** Wildlife-inspired fashion can evoke powerful emotions and align a brand with conservation efforts. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can explore incorporating live animals and edgy fashion props into photo shoots and displays. - **Wildlife Conservation:** Wildlife conservation groups can collaborate with fashion brands to promote animal-inspired fashion and raise awareness about endangered species. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing agencies can offer creative solutions to fashion brands looking to differentiate themselves with live animal accessories and edgy fashion props. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Snake-Inspired Textural Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokio-cazador.md) - [Lunar New-Year Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-snake-collection.md) - [Traditional Iconography Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ophidian-mini-bag-collection.md) - [Vibrant Snake Graphic Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakes-in-the-grass.md) - [LNY-Inspired Technical Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-snake-collection-1.md) - [Slithering Serpent Floor Coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorien-stern-snakes-rugs.md) - [Stylish Snakeskin Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/python-sambas.md) - [Animal-Inspired Patterned Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-2.md) - [LNY-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwoods-lunar-new-year.md)
