Beware! The zoo is invading footwear; just look at these Jean Paul Gaultier Pataugas boots. Dubbed--*en franÃ§ais*--the 'Authentique MariniÃ¨re Boot,' this [canvas and rubber boot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danner-x-brandblack-boot) draws its influence from classical sailor form (and function).

Gaultier brings his quintessential [Breton stripes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soldier-x-timberland) to the table for these kicks, which mark shoemaker Pataugas' 60th anniversary. The combined forces bring a French blowout not to be reckoned with.

**Implications** - Accessories are the easiest way for fashion lovers to achieve a sense of individual style that the general public are seeking in this seemingly uniform world where what people wear defines who they are. Animal prints, [bold patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoshield-xx01) and bright colors are all design elements that stores, designers and photographers use to make products that appeal to a customer base that is seeking something different.
