# Illuminated Skintography Showtime Collection by June Asheim is Caught Up in Holiday Spirit By Alex Scott | Published 2010-03-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/showtime-collection References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Showtime/457478) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/JuneAsheim) If there is one thing I hate about Christmastime, it’s trying to untangle the lights. It is a hopeless task, as you well know—the strand will never become fully untangled, and the best you can wish for are smaller-sized knots of lights. Photographer June Asheim obviously knows this pain all too well, as is evident in her ‘Showtime’ collection. Now I have had some bad mishaps with holiday lights before, but nothing ever this perilous. How she got tangled up in such a mess is anyone’s guess. The Showtime collection is really more than just art, it’s a lesson: don’t wear strands of lights as clothing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Illuminated Clothing:** Opportunity for innovation in creating clothing with integrated illumination, providing a unique and eye-catching fashion statement. - **Holiday Decoration Technology:** Possibilities for developing advanced and tangle-free holiday lighting solutions that are easy to manage and set up. - **Photographic Artistry:** Potential for exploring creative photography techniques that use unconventional materials and subjects, resulting in captivating visual artworks. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in incorporating lights and illuminating elements into clothing designs to create dazzling wearable fashion products. - **Electronics:** Innovation potential exists in developing advanced holiday lighting technologies that are tangle-free, easy to set up, and offer customizable lighting effects. - **Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation by exploring unusual subjects and materials to create thought-provoking and visually stunning photographic artworks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Sculptural Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-1.md) - [Sparkling Illuminated Festive Wreaths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starry-wreath.md) - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Mindful Illumination Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embracing-light.md) - [Neon Illuminated Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence.md) - [Stunningly Intricate Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-light.md) - [Creation-Centric Light Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/head-hi-show.md) - [Ethereal Oil Lamp Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-realm-of-light.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md)
