# Cropped Dreadlocks The Liu Wen L'Officiel China Editorial Channels Don King By Tiana Reid | Published 2010-05-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liu-wen-lofficiel-china References: [designscene.net](http://www.designscene.net/2010/05/liu-wen-for-lofficiel-china.html) & [officiel.ua](http://officiel.com.ua/) At first glance, the Liu Wen L'Officiel China editorial had me thinking, "Hey, it's Don King!" Just kidding, but the model does sport some [gravity-defying dread-like hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair). Khaki and [army-inspired clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) (read: flap pockets, army green, lace-up heels) balance out the whacked-out hair. A pair of black-and-white pants, profuse in patterns, stand out like a sore thumb--and may even induce some dizziness. **Implications** - The Liu Wen L'Officiel China editorial spread flaunts the model's beauty, despite the fact that she is dressed in shapeless silhouettes. The [cropped dreadlocks look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oribe-partners-with-thandiwe) only highlights Liu Wen's high cheekbones, perfect nose and sumptuous lips. Her perfect poses showcase the clothes well in a light, flirty way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Khaki and Army-inspired Clothing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and eco-friendly materials for khaki and army-inspired clothing to align with growing consumer demand for ethical fashion. - **Flap Pockets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design innovative ways to incorporate flap pockets into everyday fashion, such as integrating smart technology or functional features. - **Patterned Black-and-white Pants:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create customizable and interactive patterned black-and-white pants using digital printing technology for personalized fashion experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate sustainable practices and innovative materials into the fashion industry to meet evolving consumer preferences for environmentally-conscious clothing. - **Textile:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new, sustainable textile materials that can be used for khaki and army-inspired clothing, combining style and eco-friendliness. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the incorporation of smart technology into fashion accessories, such as flap pockets, to enhance functionality and user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Actress-Starring Clog Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcm-x-crocs-campaign.md) - [Inclusive Hair-Styling Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myhairamimodo.md) - [Hair Diversity Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-campaign.md) - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md) - [African-Inspired Holiday Hair Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oribe-partners-with-thandiwe.md) - [Lunar New Year Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-new-year-campaign1.md)
