The eccentric visionary pays homage to a mash-up of visual themes and inspirations for this collection that range from [tribal and rural styling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic) to [urban apocalypse imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set). Clad in a wardrobe of graffiti-clad garments, models took to the runway stage in a non-traditional presentation that stunned an audience of onlookers. In addition to a series of urban and cultural themes, the Tom Van der Borght Fall/Winter 2013/2014 collection paid homage to the intricate and lifelike engravings from Renaissance era artist Albrecht Durer along with the psychedelic masterpieces from the designer's own partner, painter Johannes Obers. This daring and visually vivid runway show shines a light on [oversized outerwear silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025), textural rope knits, athleticwear sets and Geisha inspired footwear that is paired with sculptural headpiece accessories. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eccentric Fashion:** Opportunity to create unique and attention-grabbing clothing designs that push the boundaries of traditional fashion. - **Urban Graffiti Style:** Potential for incorporating graffiti artwork and urban street style into mainstream fashion. - **Cultural Mash-up:** Opportunity to blend different cultural influences and create eclectic fashion collections. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry with unconventional and bold designs. - **Streetwear:** Opportunity to bring urban graffiti style into the streetwear industry and create bold and edgy clothing. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity to bridge the gap between fashion and art by incorporating artistic influences into clothing collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Heritage Winter Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-winter.md) - [Art-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitesse.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Fall Technical Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atom-collection.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md)
