# Hipster Graffiti-Inspired Gear The Vanilla Kid 2012 Collection Boasts Quirky Urban Ensembles By Jaime Neely | Published 2011-10-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-kid-2012-collection References: [lifelounge.au](http://www.lifelounge.com.au/fashion/news/kid-vanilla-2012-collection.aspx#gallerytop) & [kidvanilla](http://www.kidvanilla.com/) The recently released Vanilla Kid 2012 Collection for women and men embraces everything hipster and urban. The designer behind the collection, Eva Balg, never aligns her creations with a specific season, making them extremely versatile and unique. This particular line is extremely youthful, playful and colorful, offering graffiti meets girly ensembles. Balg has included a variety of unconventional graphics and prints in the Vanilla Kid 2012 Collection, including shirts and shorts imprinted with bright yellow bananas and t-shirts that read "That's Hot." The collection offers a variety of wardrobe staples for any casual wardrobe, including t-shirts, t-shirt dresses, zip-up sweatshirts, skirts and light jackets. While no specific season has been assigned to the line, its bright colors and eccentric prints are certainly more suitable for sunny days and warmer weather. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Hipster Fashion:** The trend towards hipster fashion can be leveraged to create more clothing lines that combine quirky graphics with urban wear. - **Graffiti-inspired Clothing:** This trend presents an opportunity to incorporate edgy designs into everyday clothing, giving consumers a chance to express their artistic side. - **Unconventional Prints:** There is a growing trend towards unconventional prints that designers can leverage to create unique and interesting clothing lines. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the hipster and graffiti-inspired fashion trend by creating innovative new clothing lines for both men and women. - **Graphic Design:** As more clothing lines incorporate unconventional graphics and prints, there is increased demand for graphic designers to create designs that resonate with consumers. - **Art Materials:** With the rise of graffiti-inspired clothing, there is a growing market for art materials and supplies that allow consumers to make their own unique clothing designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Summer-Inspired Vibrant Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-rebel.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Bold Playful Summer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duvin-design-co.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Nostalgic Spring-Ready Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelato-games.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Summer-Centric Lifestyle Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-4.md) - [Girlhood-Inspired Clothing Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-dens-sweet-cheeks.md)
