Luckily, Vanessa Bruno has come up with a fashionable way to hide your shame in her Spring 2010 collection. Her odd, volleyball player-inspired kneepads could be the designer’s answer to the overpowering [legging trend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legging-liners). The [lace pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace) came in white, black and red, and appeared on every model that wasn’t wearing pants. I’m not sure this trend will catch on, but at least it was unexpected. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Lacy Kneepads:** Exploring the potential of fashionable kneepads as a new trend for covering and accessorizing the knees. - **Hiding the Knees:** Creating innovative and stylish ways to cover up the knees in fashion. - **Unexpected Legwear:** Exploring unconventional legwear options as an alternative to leggings. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry has the opportunity to create new knee-covering trends and accessories. - **Athletic Gear:** The athletic gear industry can explore the concept of combining fashion with knee protection. - **Intimate Apparel:** Intimate apparel brands can experiment with designing lacy knee lingerie as a new category in their product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant High-Waisted Panties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-cut-briefs.md) - [Leak-Proof Intimate Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knix-2.md) - [Romantic Kitschy Lingerie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-love-and-lemons-1.md) - [Valentine's-Inspired Period Panties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modibodi.md) - [Seductive Winter Loungewear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-heat-collection.md) - [Underwear-Imitating Hybrid Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cut-off-brief-skirt.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md) - [Ultra-Light Intimates Silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feather-lace.md)
