To get the strange shapes to stand out on each, she started with a base in a solid color, with hats taken up mostly by deep turquoise, magenta, peach, lilac or baby blue. In contrast, the many shapes that decorate Laura Apsit Livens' designs are colored much differently from the base, with vibrant hues of yellow, green, red and black jumping out. Styles range from fedoras to baseball caps, however each is unified in its universal use of abstract decor. With this, Laura Apsit Livens' unique creations are perfect for consumers who are looking for a [statement accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patch-cap) to complement their wardrobes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Abstract Art Hats:** The trend of infusing abstract art into fashion accessories like hats is an opportunity for designers to enhance the visual appeal of their products - **Vibrant Color Palettes:** The trend of using vibrant color palettes is an opportunity for fashion designers to add excitement and energy to their products - **Statement Accessories:** The trend of statement accessories is an opportunity for designers to create unique and eye-catching products that stand out in a crowded market ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Infusing abstract art and vibrant color palettes into fashion accessories like hats presents an opportunity for fashion designers to differentiate themselves and create unique products - **Retail:** The trend of statement accessories presents an opportunity for retailers to curate a unique selection of products that appeals to consumers looking for something special - **Visual Arts:** The trend of incorporating abstract art into fashion accessories like hats is an opportunity for visual artists to collaborate with fashion designers and showcase their work in a new context ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Sustainable Bucket Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisous-bucket-hat-collection.md) - [Playful Abstract Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play.md) - [Unique Elevated Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdive.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Striking Artisan Cheese Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinds-roses-collection.md) - [Exuberant Love-Inspired Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laura-dro-designs.md) - [Vibrantly Abstract Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstraction-collection.md) - [Bread-Themed Fascinators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-hat.md)
