# Faceted Avian Sweatshirts The T-Shirt Issue's Sweatshirts Take Cues from Muybridge Animation By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-02-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muybridge References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/archives/029626.php) & [the-t-shirt-issue](http://the-t-shirt-issue.com/home.1.0.html) The 'A Work in Motion T-Shirts' by the T-Shirt Issue takes inspiration from the animal studies Eadweard Muybridge conducted in the 1800s with stop frame photo animation. For this project, the forms of a [regular sweatshirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welterweight-sweats) have been morphed into dynamic sculptures that seem to pull the fabric in a certain direction and create the illusion of movement and flight. The [three different shirt designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airknitx-tshirt) from the T-Shirt Issue vary slightly, which is evident in the changes in the position of the bird's head and wings. The Muybridge-inspired shirts beautifully manage to capture the motions of a bird and it is as if the three different moments in time were frozen by pressing "pause" and "play" buttons. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Dynamic Sculpture Fashion:** The integration of dynamic, sculptural elements into fashion creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in garment design and manufacturing. - **Motion-inspired Clothing:** Clothing that captures the illusion of movement and motion opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry, blending art and functionality. - **Morphed Forms in Fashion:** The use of morphed forms in fashion, inspired by art and animation, presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating unique garments that challenge traditional fashion norms. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** The fashion design industry can explore how to integrate dynamic, sculptural elements into garments for innovative and eye-catching designs. - **Garment Manufacturing:** Garment manufacturers can explore new techniques and materials to produce motion-inspired clothing that combines functionality with artistic expression. - **Art and Animation:** The art and animation industry can collaborate with fashion designers to inspire and create morphed forms in fashion, bringing unique animated concepts to life in wearable garments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Typography-Inspired Canadian Sweatshirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/okayok.md) - [Animal-Themed Streetwear Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cactus-plant-flea-market-1.md) - [Experimental Programmable Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/programmable-clothing.md) - [Artist-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lee-x-basquiat.md) - [Effortless AI T-Shirt Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-t.md) - [Unique T-Shirt Materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airknitx-tshirt.md) - [Function-Focused Athletic Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welterweight-sweats.md) - [Wearable Art Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march-1.md) - [Game-Inspired Haptic Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haptic-shirt.md)
