# Twisted Metal Baubles The Kat & Bee AW12 Collection is Playfully Glam-Punk By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-06-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kat-bee-aw12-collection References: [katandbee](http://www.katandbee.co.uk/) The glam-punk Kat & Bee AW12 collection features some sweetly twisted designs. Decked out with skulls, bright baubles and sick metal accents, these designs make a casually cool girly collection. The mix of [flowers and skulls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature) is an interesting choice that is bound together (figuratively and literally) by the metal that is twisted to conjoin the two. The birdnest-looking compilations have a cool mix of stones, flowers, [skulls and pearls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikimoto-x-chrome-hearts). It may look sweet, but the collection definitely has a bite to it with its [rocker-chic appeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird). The Kat & Bee AW12 collection is a homage to Brazilian culture through its colors and high-spirited designs. The collection has a awesome naming system -- all names begin with the letters A through to the letter K to represent the company. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Glam-punk Jewelry:** There is an opportunity for disrupting the fine jewelry industry by introducing a line that combines elegant designs with punk-inspired accents. - **Flower and Skull Motifs:** Creating a fashion line that combines delicate flower and edgy skull motifs could disrupt the streetwear industry by appealing to both feminine and rebellious consumers. - **Brazilian-inspired Color Schemes:** An opportunity exists to disrupt the fashion industry by creating clothing and accessory collections inspired by the vibrant colors of Brazilian culture. ### Where This Applies - **Jewelry:** Creating a fashion line that combines fine jewelry with punk-inspired accents could disrupt the jewelry industry by appealing to a new market of edgier customers. - **Streetwear:** By introducing clothing designs that combine feminine and rebellious motifs, a disruptive opportunity exists to attract a wider range of streetwear consumers. - **Fashion:** Designing product lines that are inspired by the vibrant colors of Brazilian culture could disrupt the fashion industry and attract consumers looking for exotic and unique pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md) - [Haunting Fine Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Tarnish-Resistant Jewelry Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flaire-cos-winter-edit.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Expressive Charm Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/styled-by-katseye.md) - [Playful Accessory Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentine-collection.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md)
