# Napoleonic Rodents Samantha Zaza Flies the ‘Coup' With Pigeons in Uniforms Collection By Rachel | Published 2009-09-01 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samantha-zaza References: [cyanatrendland](http://cyanatrendland.com/2009/08/31/pigeons-in-uniform/) & [cyanatrendland](http://cyanatrendland.com/?RknypSI5) Artist Samantha Zaza has an odd muse: the Pigeon. While seen as a pest to some, Samantha Zaza sees them as animals with Napoleonic complexes. The ‘Coup’ collection from Samantha Zaza is a group of [images drawn by the artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche) that show pigeons in [full uniforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection), some complete with hats. An odd source of inspiration for sure, who hasn’t thought that pigeons seem to be taking over the world? It only seems right they dress as Napoleon when you really think about it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Animal-inspired Fashion:** The 'Coup' collection by Samantha Zaza featuring pigeons in uniforms shows the potential for more animal-inspired fashion in the industry. - **Whimsical Art:** Samantha Zaza's use of pigeons in Napoleonic garb shows the potential for more whimsical and humorous art in the art industry. - **Creative Animal Interpretations:** Zaza's pigeon-as-Napoleon concept represents the innovation opportunities presented by creative animal interpretations in the art and fashion industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Samantha Zaza's 'Coup' collection shows potential for more animal-inspired fashion in the industry. - **Art:** Zaza's use of pigeons in Napoleonic garb presents innovative opportunities for more whimsical and humorous art. - **Graphic Design:** The 'Coup' collection represents disruptive innovation opportunities for creative animal interpretations in the graphic design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Carrier Pigeon Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-pigeon.md) - [Whimsical Doll-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pidgin.md) - [Bird-Inspired Ethereal Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers.md) - [Stylishly Luxurious Bath Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-bath-collection.md) - [Gritty Rodent-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratboot.md) - [Collectible Historical Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Pride-Honoring Bird Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-birds.md) - [Canadian Animal-Themed Kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/our-animals-maple-syrup-jar.md)
