# Skeletal Unicorn Cardigans This Unicorn Sweater Turns the Mythical Pony into a Gothic Rebel By M | Published 2014-06-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-sweater References: [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1ce7/?cpg=wnrss) & [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com) If you think mythical ponies are too kitschy for you, this unicorn sweater by Think Geek features a [gothic skeletal unicorn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampire-slayer-collection) stitched onto a stylish black sweater. Think Geek designed this modern pixelated unicorn graphic that features the mythic pony looking far more avant-garde than most of us would imagine. The graphic depicts a hot pink unicorn outlined in blue with a skeletal frame. Inside the unicorn's bones are various designs of hearts, diamonds and flowers. The graphic wraps around the back of the sweater so that the front looks like a traditional nine-button [black cardigan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-bandits-phoebe-cardigan). Every time you wear this sweater people will know that you're a little bit girly and definitely edgy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Avant-garde Unicorn Fashion:** Designing unconventional and edgy unicorn-inspired clothing items that appeal to a non-traditional audience. - **Gothic and Skeletal Designs:** Incorporating gothic and skeletal elements into fashion designs to create unique and rebellious aesthetic. - **Mythical Creature Reinterpretation:** Reimagining mythical creatures in a modern and unconventional way to appeal to diverse consumer preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Opportunity to cater to niche markets by offering avant-garde and unconventional clothing items inspired by gothic and mythical themes. - **Graphic Design:** Creating unique and visually striking designs for apparel that reinvent traditional imagery to resonate with alternative fashion trends. - **Online Retail Platforms:** Providing a platform for independent designers to showcase and sell unconventional fashion items, appealing to a niche customer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Sweater Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fandomspecific-sweater-vests.md) - [Understated Festive Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christina-fair-isle-cardigan.md) - [Unicorn-Themed Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unstable-unicorns-diamond-edition.md) - [Soufflé Yarn Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlos-souffl-yarn.md) - [Versatile Layering Cardigans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-bandits-phoebe-cardigan.md) - [Retro Tech Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-holiday-sweater.md) - [Ornate Cashmere Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embroidered-cashmere-sweater.md) - [Paranormal Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journal-standard-2.md) - [Card Game Playful Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-and-sea-x-uno.md)
