# High Fashion Cartoons Pacman and Mickey Mouse on London and Madrid Fashion Week Runways By Sandra Winn | Published 2008-09-17 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacman-and-mickey-mouse-on-runways-london-and-madrid-fashion-week References: [tiscali](http://www.tiscali.co.uk/news/newswire.php/news/reuters/2008/09/17/entertainment/pac-man-the-muse-for-london-designer-giles-deacon.html&template=/entertainment/feeds/story-template-reuters.html) & [news.au](http://www.news.com.au/fashion/gallery/0,26498,5034550-5007193,00.html) Some crazy fashions were captured on camera during London and Madrid Fashion Week—from models donning [Pacman helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-x-pubg) to those accessorized with [Mickey Mouse Ears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loungefly-1). So much for beautiful and glamorous, no? Seeing Pacman and Pacman ghost helmets on models, big and huge Mickey Mouse type ears on a model (that looks as though she just woke up), makes me think that these are fashion shows for Halloween. The bow on the satin-dress looks like it should be wrapped around a car intended as a gift. Not only that, but heaven forbid someone actually wore *that* outfit—when they turned around in a room, people would be hit in the face. Regardless of the craziness, any of these would make interesting and unique attire to wear at a [Halloween or Costume party](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cartoon Fashion:** The use of cartoon-inspired fashion elements on runways creates innovative and eye-catching designs. - **Disruptive Accessories:** Incorporating unconventional accessories like Pacman helmets and Mickey Mouse ears disrupts traditional fashion norms and creates unique fashion statements. - **Halloween-inspired Couture:** The rise of Halloween-inspired fashion as seen on London and Madrid Fashion Week runways offers an opportunity for designers to create bold and daring collections. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore new avenues of creativity by integrating cartoon elements into their collections. - **Costume and Party Supplies:** The demand for inventive costumes and accessories for Halloween and costume parties increases with the popularity of cartoon-inspired fashion. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can leverage the trend of Halloween-inspired couture to create themed fashion shows or parties. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic Dress NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses.md) - [Back-To-School Disney-Inspired Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-21-x-disney.md) - [Cartoon Duck-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-x-karl-lagerfeld.md) - [Monster-Adorned Capsule Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-collections.md) - [Statement-Making Oatmeal Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porridge-dress.md) - [QSR Collaborative Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonaldland-clothing-line.md) - [Nostalgic Cartoon Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doraemon-fall.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [High-Fashion Anime Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-x-frgmt-x-pokmon-collection.md)
