# Powerful Panther Lookbooks The Rare panther SS 2014 Lookbook Features an Improbable Guest By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-05-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rare-panther-ss-2014 References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2014/05/30/rare-panther-springsummer-2014-act-002-lookbook/) & [shop.rarepanther](http://shop.rarepanther.com/) The Rare Panther SS 2014 collection gets literal with the lookbook, featuring a mustached Don Juan (Niko the Ikon) photographed next to a powerful black panther. While some guys like to show off their masculinity by donning muscle tees or revving the engine on their motorcycles, Niko gets creative by parading his sleek jungle cat around. It's definitely a unique way to impress the ladies, that's for sure. Photographer Michael Faso shot the unlikely duo in Santa Clarita. The collection, which is titled 'ACT 002,' gathers its inspiration from 90s animations, which is most evident in the t-shirts, long-sleeved tees, hoodies and hats. The clean graphics have a futuristic vibe that will surely make the line a summer staple -- whether or not you have a panther at your disposal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Animal-inspired Fashion:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by incorporating animals into clothing design. - **Nostalgic Animation Themes:** The trend of using 90s animations as inspiration in fashion creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the design and production of nostalgic clothing. - **Unconventional Lookbooks:** The trend of unconventional lookbooks presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in marketing and promotion strategies for fashion brands. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore disruptive innovation in incorporating animal-inspired elements into clothing design. - **Animation:** The animation industry can leverage the trend of nostalgic 90s animations in fashion to collaborate with clothing brands and create unique product lines. - **Marketing and Promotion:** The marketing and promotion industry can explore disruptive innovation in creating unconventional lookbooks to showcase fashion collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Leopard Tracksuit Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-for-nepenthes.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Leisure Performance Style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-and-orlebar-brown.md) - [Chinese Motif-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-1.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired High Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lion-king-collection.md) - [Mid-Summer Streetwear Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/when-the-smoke-clears-collection.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md)
