# Flying Chick Crowns The Mareunrol's Collection is Nestled Between Victorian and Modern Life By Tiana Reid | Published 2010-06-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mareunrols-collection References: [dazeddigital](http://www.dazeddigital.com/view/default.aspx?Category=19&ArticleID=7691&PageNum=1) & [mareunrols](http://www.mareunrols.com/) The latest Mareunrol's collection by Latvian designers Marite Mastina and Rolands Peterkops is anchored by dark and dusty colors. The most innovative addition to the Mareunrol's collection is without a doubt the [fable-esque birds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots), which, according to the duo, were the most laborious part of the collection. Interestingly, the pair behind Mareunrol's said the idea came from "[cartoon characters getting dizzy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-x-karl-lagerfeld) after bumping into a tree or after hurting themselves." **Implications** - With that image in your mind, when you're viewing these stylish and decidedly upscale articles of clothing, imagine your favorite cartoon character has just run into a wall and is dazed. Ridiculous, right? Mastina and Peterkops do a fantastic job of extrapolating a small, [childish idea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonmin) into a memorable collection of clothes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dark and Dusty Colors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of unconventional and moody color palettes in fashion to create unique and memorable collections. - **Fable-esque Birds:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate elements of fantasy and storytelling into fashion designs to create whimsical and imaginative collections. - **Upscale Cartoon-inspired Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine elements of childhood nostalgia with high-end fashion to create unexpected and playful collections. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with new design concepts that push the boundaries of traditional fashion and captivate consumers with imaginative and unconventional styles. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Blur the line between fashion and art by creating clothing pieces that are visually captivating and thought-provoking. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with cartoon or animation studios to create fashion collections inspired by beloved characters, bridging the gap between pop culture and high fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bird-Inspired Ethereal Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Avant Garde Seasonal Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md)
