# Structurally Fitted Fashion Styles The Daniel Silverstain Spring/Summer 2013 Collection is Retro By Jessica Marren | Published 2013-03-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantherbone-editorial References: [thinkcontra](http://www.thinkcontra.com/daniel-silverstain-pantherbone-springsummer-2013-collection-video/) & [mag.weareselecters](http://mag.weareselecters.com/2013/03/daniel-silverstain-ss-2013-pantherbone/) Daniel Silverstain showcases wonderfully weird materials, strong silhouettes and silky sleek hair in this 'Pantherbone' editorial for his Spring/Summer 2013 collection. The collection was inspired by [biomechanics, human anatomy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life) and [60s Sci-Fi movies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects) that we clearly see in this Pantherbone editorial. Exaggerated styles, animalistic bone and muscle features, and body-con dresses are just a few details which make up the unusual dynamic of this collection. While Daniel Silverstain utilized mostly [avant-garde materials like mesh and neoprenes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set), Pantherbone still features a few surprisingly wearable pieces. The collection is balanced out with monochromatic colors and delicate details. Models with slicked-back hair are photographed drinking milk, building puzzles and just casually standing around displaying these gorgeously made ensembles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Biomechanic-inspired Fashion:** Designers can explore new materials and silhouettes inspired by human anatomy and scientific advancements to create avant-garde collections for innovative fashion experiences - **Exaggerated Styles:** Incorporating exaggerated features and animalistic designs can bring uniqueness to the fashion industry and appeal to a wider range of consumers - **Wearable Avant-garde:** Creating avant-garde collections with a balance of wearable pieces can offer consumers unique and edgy fashion options ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can integrate biomechanics and nature-inspired themes into their designs to create edgy and unique fashion collections - **Fashion Retail:** Retailers can target consumers who are looking for exclusive and distinctive fashion pieces by offering collections that embrace exaggerated styles and avant-garde designs - **Fashion Photography:** Photographers can collaborate with fashion designers to capture the essence of avant-garde collections and create visually striking editorials ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Biomimetic Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life.md) - [Fabric-Centric Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-nation-5.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md)
