# Stylish Watercolor Wearables Mark Hall-Patch Illustrates a Cool Collection of Autumn Attire By Jason Soy | Published 2011-11-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-hall-patch References: [booooooom](http://www.booooooom.com/2011/11/23/watercolour-illustrations-by-mark-hall-patch-on-etsy/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/ephemerafriends) I wouldn't mind owning every piece of apparel found in these Mark Hall-Patch watercolor paintings. From stylish [Autumn cardigans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform) and wicked jean vests to The Cure-inspired concert tees and burgundy letterman jackets, Mark Hall-Patch turns these seemingly mundane pieces of attire into warming pieces of art, which he sells on his [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) account. The images are beautifully rendered, displaying Hall-Patch's attention to detail while still maintaining a rustic handmade quality to the finished pieces, making them all that much more alluring. I mean, who else would take the time to illustrate coat hangers and loose threads? I know I wouldn't. To make these [creative illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-kenshi-yonezu) even that much more special, Mark Hall-Patch paints them on archival paper and sells only originals, not prints. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Watercolor Wearable Fashion:** Opportunity to disrupt the traditional fashion industry by adding beautiful, artistic flair to everyday clothing. - **Custom Wearables:** The emergence of bespoke goods and the personalization of everyday items. - **Artistic Expression Through Clothing:** Increasing consumer demand for unique wearable art pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry has a chance to add a new dimension to their products that enhances the artistry behind each piece to attract buyers. - **Art:** The merging of fashion and art can lead to new opportunities to express individual creativity and encourage exploration of new techniques and materials. - **E-commerce:** The rise of online marketplaces like Etsy allow for artists and designers to showcase their customizable, unique pieces to a global audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Art-Infused Workwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nepenthes-capsule.md) - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Handcrafted Fall Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-solana.md) - [Arty Knitwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear.md) - [Multimedia Artist Menswear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madewell-x-one-of-these-days.md) - [Boxy Botanical Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-jacket.md) - [Artist-Themed Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buttercloth.md) - [Artist-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lee-x-basquiat.md) - [Versatile Sculptural Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection.md)
