# Spiky Skeletal Leggings TwistedLamb & Skingraft Wrap Your Legs in Spiny Bones By Elsa Blaine | Published 2011-05-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skeletal-leggings-twistedlamb-skingraft References: [twistedlamb](http://www.twistedlamb.com/2011/04/skingraft-x-twistedlamb-collaboration.html) & [skingraft.myshopify](http://skingraft.myshopify.com/collections/new-in-stock/products/twisted-lamb-leggings-in-grey) TwistedLamb and Skingraft have teamed up to create these fantastically edgy skeletal print leggings. Rows of white spiky bones from creatures unknown entwine down the entire length of the [skin-tight black lycra leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/id-train-colorblock-leggings) from hip to ankle, while larger, more threatening bones fan out wrapping the rear in a clawlike cage. The overall effect is intimating to say the least, but also unexpectedly thinning and extremely flattering to the shape of a woman’s body. Teamed with a [military-inspired jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-cassie-sb) and buckle-embellished [lace-up leather booties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rick-owens-x-dr-martens), the look is wildly rock 'n' roll, if not all-out thrash metal. The twisted skeletal leggings are availble in black or gray on the Skingraft site for $80, but I have a feeling they will go fast. The fabulously dark and avant-garde photography is by the talented Julia Comita. Shot outdoors at night, an old wooden door, iron railings and distressed brick create a shadowy street-chic backdrop for the star of the photographs – the TwistedLamb/Skingraft skeletal leggings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Edgy Leggings:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate unconventional designs and make bold statements through clothing. - **Skeletal Fashion:** Opportunity for creatives to explore the combination of anatomy and fashion in unique ways. - **Dark Clothing:** Opportunity for fashion brands to embrace the gothic aesthetic and appeal to a niche market. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Creating new and interesting designs for consumers who want to stand out and make a statement with their clothing choices. - **Photography:** Providing opportunities for photographers to capture unique and unconventional fashion designs in creative and engaging ways. - **Arts & Entertainment:** Incorporating edgy fashion designs into music videos, film, and television to convey a certain mood or aesthetic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Skeletal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn.md) - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md) - [Performance Functional Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tighties.md) - [Lymphatic Drainage Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loriginal-full-leggings.md) - [Spooky Back-to-School Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keds-x-monster-high.md) - [Micro-Weighted Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microload-gtights.md) - [One-Legged Luxury Fashion Jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onelegged-jean.md) - [Bird Feather-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots.md) - [Edgy Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfe-bambi-boot.md)
