Through art, she has reclaimed this [restricting undergarment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwire-bra-collection) and made it her own. Inspired by anything and everything from [sea creatures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures) to antique glass, Laura Jacobs has created a collection of [unique bras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-layered-bra). According to her site, "Breasts are symbols of -- and vehicles for -- power. Like the twinned temples of Angkor Wat or any ancient shrine, Laura Jacobs has made temples to befit them, define them and sometimes hold them, in ridicule." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 49% | 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) > [Underwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/underwear) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Reimagined Undergarments:** There is a growing trend of designers reimagining traditional undergarments, like bras, to create unique and empowering pieces. - **Art-inspired Fashion:** Artistic influences are emerging as a popular trend in the fashion industry, with designers using unconventional materials and designs to make a statement. - **Body Positivity Movement:** The body positivity movement is driving the creation of undergarments that celebrate and embrace the diversity of body shapes and sizes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers have an opportunity to explore new artistic influences and create unique undergarments that challenge traditional norms. - **Lingerie Manufacturing:** Lingerie manufacturers can innovate by incorporating art-inspired designs and materials into their products, appealing to consumers looking for unique and empowering undergarments. - **Body Positivity Advocacy:** Companies and organizations focused on body positivity can collaborate with designers to promote inclusive undergarments that celebrate a diverse range of body types. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Versatile Apparel-Lingerie Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boobwear-brand-nuudii.md) - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md) - [Bra-Preserving 3D-Printed Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bras-up.md) - [Complimentary Sculptural Jewelry Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece.md) - [Redefined Comfort-Forward Bras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexwire-bras.md) - [Post-Surgery Undergarment Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postsurgery-undergarment.md) - [Body-Conscious Undergarment Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripe-stare-bra-shop.md) - [Mother-Daughter Founded Intimates Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cureus-label.md) - [Sex-Positive Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carne-bollente-3.md)
