The pieces drew inspiration from body ink and alternative youth cultures. The [Comme des Garcons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-3) brand is synonymous with groundbreaking and conceptual fashions and is a consistent promoter of self-expression. Models walked the label's latest runway show while dressed in tattoo printed suits and inked leggings that peeked out under black and grey coats. The result was a tattoo-inspired collection that reminded one of all-over body art and sleeve tattoo fads. Inspired by [alternative cultures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet), this menswear collection is the opposite of traditional. While its silhouettes were simplistic, its textile prints brought a more daring and artistic visual aesthetic to life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Tattoo-inspired Fashion:** The use of tattoo print garments in fashion collections is a growing trend, offering a unique and alternative style for consumers. - **Alternative Youth Culture Influences:** Fashion designers are increasingly drawing inspiration from alternative youth cultures, creating collections that resonate with this demographic. - **Self-expression in Fashion:** Fashion brands are embracing self-expression as a central theme, encouraging consumers to express their individuality through their clothing choices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend of tattoo-inspired fashion by creating their own collections, featuring unique and edgy designs. - **Apparel:** Apparel companies can incorporate tattoo prints into their clothing lines, appealing to consumers who want to make a bold and unconventional fashion statement. - **Youth Culture:** Companies targeting the youth market can leverage the trend of alternative youth culture influences in fashion to develop products and marketing campaigns that resonate with this demographic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Archive-Inspired Retro Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-collection.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Designer Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-gdragon.md) - [Reimagined Studded Trench Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-3.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Collaborative Monochrome Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-and-the-north-face.md) - [Patterned Monochormatic Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-girl.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md)
