The collection is modeled by edgy tattooed boarders in an arcade, using the neon lights to illuminate graphic t-shirts, shorts, accessories and hoodies spectacularly. Stray Rats uses a number of different pop culture influences, making use of iconic signage, the 'Exodus' brand logo, Michael Jackson and even [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-21-x-disney) characters. The company takes away the innocence of 'Snow White' dwarf 'Bashful,' showing the cute character oddly sexualized along with a speech bubble that reads, "You're Pretty." Also included in the collection are pieces printed with the Stray Rats brand name -- with it arching over in high contrast on t-shirts and hoodies. The streetwear company is worth checking out for those interested in one of a kind graphic art work and statement pieces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pop Culture Streetwear:** Opportunity for brands to merge iconic pop culture references with contemporary streetwear aesthetic. - **Graphic Art Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate visual storytelling through graphic art on clothing. - **Reworked Character Designs:** Brands can create unique and provocative apparel by deconstructing popular cartoon characters and reimagining them in a non-traditional way. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Incorporating bold graphic designs and pop culture references into streetwear provides a new niche in the highly competitive fashion industry. - **Entertainment:** Collaborations between streetwear and entertainment companies could lead to mutually beneficial product lines that appeal to fans of both industries. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can utilize streetwear as a canvas to express their creativity and build a following among young, trend-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [K-Pop Playful Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-stray-kids.md) - [Back-To-School Disney-Inspired Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-21-x-disney.md) - [QSR Collaborative Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonaldland-clothing-line.md) - [Wintry Disney Ski Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mickey-mouse-friends-ski.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Pizza Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-eats-1.md) - [Animation-Inspired Collaborative Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixar-collection.md) - [Soft-Colored Disney Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule.md) - [Cartoon Duck-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-x-karl-lagerfeld.md) - [Cartoon-Themed Performance Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-x-lululemon.md)
