Constructed mainly from hand-dyed wool fused with felt, the dresses consist of [unusual angles and lapels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection), and the accessories are unique and fashion-forward. In addition, Cope designs bags, such as the do-it-yourself fold out version and the glove purse. As well as her fashion design work, Cope has produced live works, videos, and window installations for TopShop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Futuristic Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create avant-garde fashion looks inspired by science fiction and technology. - **Handcrafted Wool Clothing:** Potential for sustainable fashion brands to explore hand-dyeing wool and fusing it with felt for unique and eco-friendly clothing designs. - **Fashion-forward Accessories:** Chance for accessory designers to create unique and trendsetting fashion items that complement futuristic fashion looks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Disruption opportunity for fashion designers to push boundaries and create innovative looks inspired by science fiction. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Potential for sustainable fashion brands to explore eco-friendly materials like hand-dyed wool and felt in their clothing designs. - **Accessory Design:** Opportunity for accessory designers to create fashion-forward and unconventional accessories that match futuristic fashion trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luminous Galactic-Themed Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-couture.md) - [Dynamic Sci-Fi Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Fashion House-Designed Spacesuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axiom-extravehicular-mobility.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md)
