The stylish series features a full range of retro-feel apparel. Neighborhood is a Tokyo brand developed by designer Shinsuke Takizawa. He was inspired by motorcycles and the sub-cultures associated with the sport. His clothing line is ingrained with the themes related to the motorcycle culture; bikers, Native American influence, military and outdoor traditions. His S/S 2013 men's collection is the embodiment of all the above. There are Native-inspired pieces, such as headdresses, fur, beading and tribal prints. There are hints of biker themes with leather bombers, vests and gloves and a garage feel with one-piece embroidered jumpers. The neighborhood Spring/Summer 2013 collection pays homage to the past and active sub-cultures. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vintage-inspired Apparel:** Businesses can explore incorporating vintage design elements to create unique clothing lines that appeal to a niche audience. - **Subculture Fashion:** Designers can draw inspiration from various sub-cultures to create alternative fashion trends. - **Theme-based Collections:** Businesses can develop theme-based collections that offer a cohesive look and resonate with a specific target audience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion businesses can explore creating motorcycle-inspired clothing lines that embrace sub-culture references. - **Retail:** Retail stores can feature collections with a strong emphasis on sub-culture inspiration to attract niche markets. - **Art and Design:** Designers and artists can draw inspiration from sub-cultures and vintage fashion trends to create new and innovative designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Utility Street Fashion Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-x-neighborhood.md) - [Distressed Streetwear Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighborhood-x-chito.md) - [90s Graffiti Culture-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subware.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Evolved Streetwear Brand Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiden.md) - [Motorsports-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-nation-4.md) - [Collaborative Dynamic Eclectic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tss.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Culturally Backed Fashion Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brigade.md)
