# Hazardous Urban Streetwear The Lafaille Safety First Collection Finds Beauty in Destruction By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-12-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lafaille-safety-first References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/lafaille-springsummer-2015-lookbook/) & [lafaille.co](http://www.lafaille.co/) The Lafaille Safety First collection is the label's latest range for Spring/Summer 2015. Much like its name, this menswear line is inspired by industrial jobs and their many hazards. Whether boasting bio hazard motifs or protruding details that spell out the words "crash" and "injuries", these [streetwear staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitesse) defy convention. The fashions feature tire track prints, crashing car graphics and are a fresh translation of [traditional work uniforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carhartt-wip-springsummer-2026). The Lafaille Safety First collection is highlighted in a catalog that is captured by photographer Spencer Edwards and outfitted by wardrobe stylist Samuel Fournier. Its most memorable pieces include [zipper-accented jumpsuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-x-neighborhood) and pattern-clashing separates that are displayed in a vibrant color palette. Other graphics in the collection include broken glass and crash test dummy images. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Industrial Streetwear:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional work uniform design with a hip, rugged style. - **Hazardous Motifs:** Innovative use of bio hazard symbols and other dangerous graphics in fashion design. - **Mixed Pattern Fashion:** Opportunity to take fashion risks and combine unlikely patterns for a bold new look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity to bring safety-inspired fashion designs to a wider audience. - **Manufacturing:** Chance to create new textiles that incorporate industrial motifs and appeals to a new market. - **Automotive:** Opportunity to collaborate with fashion brands on merchandise that combines automotive design and urban style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Urban Deconstructed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louther-x-carhartt-wip-fw25.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Motorsports-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-nation-4.md) - [Motorsport-Inspired Premium Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpinestars.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [Fantastical Hyper-Utility Fashion Liness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-dirty-jobs.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Luxurious Spring-Ready Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambush-5.md) - [Utility Street Fashion Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-x-neighborhood.md)
