# Boxing-Inspired Fashion The Jean Paul Gaultier AW '10 Line Melds Sports and High Fashion By Meghan Young | Published 2010-01-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-paul-gaultier-aw-10 References: [swipelife](http://swipelife.com/2010/01/21/jean-paul-gaultier-fall-2010/) & [gq](http://www.gq.com/fashion-shows/brief/F2010MEN-JPGMEN) Although I haven’t attended too many [fashion shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time) before, I know that they have always been full of energy and surprises, yet I have to say that [runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection) that have seen shows like the Jean Paul Gaultier A/W '10 collection are even more sensational than ever. Perhaps it’s the Gaga effect taking over the fashion sphere, but the fact that these models have been bloodied (albeit through the magic of makeup) to further demonstrate the boxing inspiration, just proves my point. That being said, the Jean Paul Gaultier A/W '10 fashions are classically daring. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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 - **Boxing-inspired Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore incorporating elements of boxing, such as boxing gloves, hand wraps, and mouth guards, into their designs. - **Athletic High Fashion:** Designers can incorporate athletic wear and sports-inspired themes into high fashion, creating a unique and trendy look. - **Edgy Makeup Looks:** Makeup trends may move towards more edgy and bold looks, such as using fake blood, bruises, and other effects to create a dramatic effect. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion designers can explore incorporating elements of boxing, such as boxing gloves, hand wraps, and mouth guards, into their designs. - **Sporting Goods Industry:** The rise of athletic high fashion creates opportunities for sporting goods companies to develop fashionable and trendy athletic wear. - **Beauty Industry:** Makeup companies can explore creating more edgy and bold makeup looks, such as fake blood effects and bruises, for dramatic effects in fashion shows and everyday wear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [High Fashion Clog Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-x-jean-paul-gaultier.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Rebellious Clog Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-paul-gaultier-x-crocs.md) - [Retro-Inspired Boxing Gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-boxing-gear.md) - [Soccer Jersey-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciagas-soccer-series.md) - [Dynamic Fall-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordanluca-1.md)
