# Futuristic Robocob Fashions The Anomalies Jojo Ross Collection Catalog is Sci-Fi Chic By Jana Pijak | Published 2013-02-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-anomalies-jojo-ross References: [notjustalabel](http://www.notjustalabel.com/jojo_ross) & [notjustalabel](http://www.notjustalabel.com) 'The Anomalies' Jojo Ross collection explores a futuristic design concept revolving around strings as the veins of life. Experimenting with a multitude of string forms, the designer from Auckland, New Zealand creates sci-fi chic womenswear that pays homage to 80s [cult classic film Robocop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1). Dressed in a utilitarian wardrobe, models sport helmeted head pieces and string-accented dresses made with unconventional materials. This collection brings a complex scientific concept to life and pays tribute to 1970s string art and [retro futurism ideals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/episode-7-collection). The Anomalies Jojo Ross collection displays the designer's intricate weaving techniques that combine colored strings pieces with [structured PVC materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection). The finished garments exude a futuristic air and give off an illusion of the third dimension. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **String-accented Fashion:** The trend of incorporating strings as design elements in fashion offers opportunities for unique and futuristic garments. - **Retro Futurism Ideals:** The revival of retro futurism in fashion allows for creative reinterpretations of vintage sci-fi aesthetics. - **Utilitarian Wardrobe:** The utilitarian fashion trend provides a platform for designers to experiment with unconventional materials and futuristic designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the string-accented fashion trend to create innovative and visually striking collections. - **Design:** The design industry can embrace retro futurism ideals to create products and spaces that blend nostalgia with a futuristic vision. - **Materials:** The materials industry can explore new opportunities for unconventional materials that can be used in the utilitarian fashion trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.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) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Biomimetic Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md)
