# Dead Raven Wear Roksanda Ilincic's Spring 2010 Collection Takes from the Birds By Jacqueline Parrish | Published 2009-09-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roksanda-ilincics-spring-2010 References: [coutorture](http://www.coutorture.com/5179683) & [roskandailincic](http://www.roskandailincic.com/) To create Roksanda Ilincic's Spring 2010 collection, it appears as if the designer has carefully murdered hoards of ravens and blackbirds, stripping them of their feathery garb and ever so skillfully turning them into clothing. The feathers were seen on everything in Roksanda Ilincics Spring 2010 collection, from skirts and dresses, to the platform shoes, shawls and a very imaginative head-piece sort of like the feathered version of the hat that accompanies the uniform of the Queens guards. While it made for a stunning collection, personally, I prefer my birds alive and chirping as opposed to hanging dead around my neck. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Feather Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable, cruelty-free alternatives to real feathers for use in fashion. - **Animal-inspired Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative, cruelty-free accessories that mimic the look and feel of feathers without harming animals. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore eco-friendly materials and production processes to create fashion collections that are both stylish and environmentally conscious. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with designers and manufacturers to create ethically sourced and sustainable fashion lines. - **Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and produce innovative accessories made from cruelty-free and sustainable materials. - **Environmental Conservation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Support initiatives and organizations that promote the preservation of wildlife and the protection of animal habitats. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bird Feather-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots.md) - [Bird-Inspired Ethereal Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers.md) - [Avant Garde Seasonal Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic.md) - [Canary-Inspired Fashion Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canary-clutch.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Biomimetic Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md)
