# Metallic Gloves Robot-Inspired Accessories from GlovedUp By TrendHead | Published 2008-12-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kylie-is-getting-gloved-up-fashionable-metallic-gloves References: [antimonide](http://www.antimonide.com/2008/12/05/get-gloved-up-for-christmas/) & [Glovedup](http://www.Glovedup.com/) [Metallic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dame-x) hands and robot arms comprise the new look by fashionable London-based label GlovedUp. We have seen similar emphasis on metallics with leggings from everyone from esteemed fashion houses to [American Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-sensitive-series), so it is only natural to have our hands follow suit. As far as glam hand-wear goes, GlovedUp has a great back catalog of stylish press coverage from the likes of British and Italian [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care) to I-D. Metallic gloves have adorned the hands of a number of fashionable celebrities like Kylie Minogue (see video above), Anna Piaggi, Roisin Murphy, Peaches, Madonna, Kelis, and Leona Lewis. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Metallic Hand-wear Trend:** The rise in demand for metallic hand-wear is a disruptive innovation opportunity for the fashion industry to explore the use of unconventional materials and textures. - **Robot-inspired Accessories Trend:** The trend for robot-inspired accessories is a disruptive innovation opportunity for the fashion industry to marry science fiction and fashion. - **Tech-inspired Fashion Trend:** The tech-inspired fashion trend is a disruptive innovation opportunity for the fashion industry to incorporate smart textiles and wearable technology. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can take advantage of the metallic hand-wear, robot-inspired accessories, and tech-inspired fashion trends by exploring unconventional materials, textures, and wearable technology. - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry can use the trend for metallic gloves and robot-inspired accessories to create distinctive and futuristic looks for films and music videos. - **Luxury Goods Industry:** The luxury goods industry can incorporate the trend for metallic gloves and robot-inspired accessories to create high-end and avant-garde products for fashion-forward consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [LED-Infused Festival Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinsel-arcade.md) - [Robotic Hand Assistance Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bioservo-carbonhand.md) - [Massaging Hand Healthcare Gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knitdema-glove.md) - [Studded Belt-Made Dynamic Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit.md) - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [Limited Edition Racing Gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-racing.md) - [Hand Compression Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grace-able.md) - [Weighted Training Gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerhandz.md) - [Hybrid Women's Boxing Gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-boxing-gloves.md)
