This is a brilliant spin off from the master of calligraffiti, Niles Shoe Meulman. He has turned his [graffiti and calligraphy skills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slawn-crocs-classic-clog) to producing some amazing [silk scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-play-silk) under the alias of Unruly. They are 100% silk and printed with his designs. To me, silk scarfs have always had a hint of frumpy middle class women about them, but I think these have just changed all of that forever.

The photography of the images is also amazing, and would have been worthy of a trend in its own right. I am particularly taken with the bondage shots, a great creative.
