# Artery-Inspired Haute Couture The Silk Me Back Kimono Mimics Arterial Anatomy By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-01-09 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silk-me-back References: [streetanatomy](http://streetanatomy.com/2013/01/03/silk-me-back-arterial-kimono/) & [necessaryexperience.net](http://www.necessaryexperience.net/main.php) Pulsing with life are these Silk Me Back kimonos by FMR that feature a realistic display of the [human arteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn). The Silk Me Back kimono was featured at the Nesle Gallery in France. The collar is peppered with droplets of blood. A keen eye will also notice an encrypted text within the [vein-like design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatomic-denim). The handwritten text is actually direct quotes from the Buddhist Sutta. And as you can see, the writing seems to really flow from the gown. The Silk Me Back kimonos serve a good purpose, as well. Along with the other 24 kimonos displayed at the event, the Silk Me Back will be auctioned to support the victims of the Fukushima disaster. With the help of this relief effort, hopefully the Silk Me Back can breathe some life back into a tragic circumstance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Charity](https://www.trendhunter.com/charity) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Human Anatomy Fashion:** Creating clothing inspired by the human body's anatomy, such as arterial designs on kimonos. - **Encrypted Text Couture:** Incorporating hidden messages or encrypted texts into fashion designs. - **Philanthropic Fashion:** Using fashion as a means to raise funds and support charitable causes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore incorporating anatomical designs and hidden messages into their clothing lines. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can develop innovative fabrics and techniques to create garments with intricate anatomical details. - **Charitable Organizations:** Charities and non-profit organizations can leverage fashion fundraisers to support causes and raise awareness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Juxtaposing Japanese Kimonos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reversible-sukajan-kimono.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Kimino Making-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origata-collection.md) - [Kimono-Sukajan Fusion Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamato-lab.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Biodesign-Backed Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gozen-x-beymen.md) - [Biomimetic Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life.md) - [Reinforced Japanese-Inspired Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-sashiko-chore-jacket.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md)
