Appropriately, the brain behind MF is Meghan Farrell, a former psychology student who has based her current collection, which straddles both the literal and the symbolical, on studies of the brain. On her [blog](http://meghanfarrell.blogspot.com/), she goes into detail on what each pieces represents and how it fits into the collection as a whole. Materials in Meghan Farrell’s collection include sterling silver, brass, silver “satin,” silver “polished, and 14K gold. Budding designer Meghan Farrell’s goodies are currently being sold at one of the hippest boutiques in New York, Opening Ceremony. Hey, that doesn’t hurt. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Psychology-inspired Jewelry:** Creating jewelry that incorporates elements of psychology, such as the brain, opens up opportunities for unique and meaningful designs. - **Artistic Representation of Brain Studies:** Using jewelry as a medium to visually represent the complexities of brain studies allows for a creative exploration of science and art. - **Interdisciplinary Fashion Collections:** The fusion of psychology and jewelry design highlights the potential for interdisciplinary collaborations in the fashion industry, offering new avenues for innovation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can tap into the growing demand for unique and intellectual products by featuring psychology-inspired jewelry collections in their stores. - **Artisan Jewelry:** Artisan jewelry makers can explore the incorporation of psychological concepts into their designs, attracting consumers looking for thought-provoking and emotionally resonant pieces. - **Psychology Education:** Educational institutions specializing in psychology can collaborate with designers like Meghan Farrell to create collaborative programs that bridge the gap between fashion and science. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Heart-Shaped Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartshaped-jewelry.md) - [Meaningful Jewelry Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluboho-x-fashionista.md) - [Inclusive Elementally Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/every-wave.md) - [Architectural Jewelry Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architectural-jewelry-collab.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md) - [Bold Handmade Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holst-lee.md) - [Modern Jewelry Websites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foliums.md) - [Stunning Organic-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry.md)
