# Futuristic Victorian Fashion The Morfium Metropolis Collection is Fit to be Worn by Queen Amidala By Meghan Young | Published 2011-05-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morfium-metropolis References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--Metropolis-mythology-Morfium-Couture-6854.html) & [morfium.net](http://www.morfium.net) One glance at the Morfium Metropolis and I couldn’t help but envision Queen Amidala from Star Wars in every one of these outfits. It doesn’t hurt that the featured model has a striking resemblance to Natalie Portman. The Morfium Metropolis collection was, however, inspired by another movie -- Metropolis -- hence the title of the fashion line. Photographed by Dusan Jaukovic, the Morfium Metropolis collection is chock-full of [costumelike couture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) that boasts golden embellishments, ruffle collars and [crownlike headpieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025). Theatrical and darkly dramatic, the designs seem more like art pieces than actual wearable outfits. As I look more closely at each outfit in the Morfium Metropolis collection, I can't help but believe they will be featured in a [sci-fi film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport) in the future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Futuristic Fashion:** Opportunity for creating avant-garde clothing that blurs the line between costume and wearable fashion, ideal for sci-fi films. - **Art-inspired Couture:** Potential for designing dramatic, theatrical fashion pieces that resemble wearable artworks. - **Retro Futurism:** Innovation in merging vintage aesthetics with futuristic elements to create distinctive fashion styles. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for fashion designers to push boundaries and experiment with unconventional, futuristic designs. - **Film and Entertainment:** Demand for costume designers to create avant-garde and futuristic clothing for science fiction films. - **Art and Design:** Intersection of fashion and art, creating opportunities for artists and designers to collaborate on couture collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Winter-Ready Sci-Fi Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-columbia-collection.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Dynamic Sci-Fi Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [AI-Inspired Fantastical Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastical-bridal-collection.md)
