# Biology-Inspired Scarves Cerebella Design's Printed Scarves Take Cues From Under the Microscope By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-11-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-scarves References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/style/cerebella-design.php) & [cerebelladesign](http://cerebelladesign.com/) Looking at the [unique printed scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-play-silk) from Cerebella Design is almost like peering into a microscope, since you'll be seeing more or less the same thing. The prints were created by taking inspiration from the [colors, textures and patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botanica) that can be found under the lens of a microscope, looking at close-ups of frog skin, starfish eggs, human cells or other parts of biology with an extremely close eye. The scarves are made of natural materials like cotton silk and silk that have been sewed by hand, giving the assortment of scarves a truly natural touch. The unusual patterns on the scarves might not read as such from far away, but the designs are definitely a great conversation piece, especially on where art and science break even. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Biology-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for apparel brands to create unique prints and textures based on microscopic designs, merging art and science. - **Handcrafted Natural Materials:** Increase demand for handcrafted natural materials, such as cotton silk and silk, to enhance sustainability and bring unique touch to fashion industry. - **Science-influenced Artwork:** Science-inspired artwork and designs becoming more popular and mainstream, opening up opportunities for artists to showcase their creativity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Apparel:** Apparel industry can utilize biology-inspired prints and textures to create unique fashion items that align with consumer demand for nature-inspired, sustainable fashion. - **Handicrafts:** Handicrafts industry can capitalize on the rise in demand for handcrafted natural materials by creating unique accessories that blend science and art, such as scarves inspired by microscopic designs. - **Art:** Art industry can explore the trend of science-influenced artwork and designs and incorporate it into gallery exhibits, public art displays, and merchandise to appeal to a wider audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lab-Grown Fibre Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-b-shield-scarf.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Biomorphic Travel Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-systems.md) - [Computational Undersea-Inspired Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coral-soaps-collection.md) - [Biomimetic Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Organic Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapso.md) - [Nature-Inspired 3D-Printed Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julia-koerner.md) - [Collegiate-Style Winter Scarfs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-6.md)
