# Collaborative Skeletal Fashion The mastermind JAPAN x Gundam Line Was Inspired by Masaaki Homma By Amy Duong | Published 2018-03-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mastermind-japan-x-gundam References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/3/mastermind-japan-gundam-clothing-capsule-release) & [strict-g](http://www.strict-g.com/blog/) The new and captivating mastermind JAPAN x Gundam collaborative collection brings together the unique insignia inspired by Masaaki Homma. The collaborative capsule by the pair was crafted to accompany the [model kit collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-gundam-kits). The new range of clothing draws from Homma's streetwear aesthetics, but takes its own route with the strong accents of its signature skull and crossbone print. The unique logo is seen detailing the top of Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam's insignia, as well as throughout the entire [mastermind JAPAN x Gundam collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-suit-gundam-seed). Some of the notable items from the collaborative capsule include the zip-up hoodie, the [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ganance-heir) case, and the New Era cap with D-ring embellishments. The items from the collection are priced between $36 to $189 and will be available at Strict-G and select mastermind retail locations beginning March 29th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collaborative Fashion:** Opportunity to create unique fashion collections through collaborations between different brands and artists. - **Streetwear Aesthetics:** Exploring the influence of streetwear in high fashion and creating new interpretations of urban style. - **Signature Prints:** Developing distinctive and recognizable prints that can be used across a range of products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Integrating fashion and art to create collaborative collections that appeal to a wide range of consumers. - **Mobile Accessories:** Incorporating unique designs into mobile accessories to cater to fashion-conscious consumers. - **Retail:** Leveraging collaborations in retail to create exclusive products and drive customer engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anime Headwear Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-suit-gundam-1.md) - [Anime Merch-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-4.md) - [Utility Streetwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dickies-and-mastermind-japan.md) - [Luxury Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mastermind-world-x-new-era.md) - [Streetwear Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mastermind-world-1.md) - [Reconstructive Streetwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ys-for-men-x-masses.md) - [Mecha Anime-Inspired Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gundam-1.md) - [Mecha Sci-Fi Smartphone Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-gundam-collection.md) - [Monochromatic Mascot-Themed Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-3.md)
