# Animal-Mimicking Scarves The Mouths of These Wool Scarf Critters Latch On to Keep You Warm By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-10-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-scarf References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2015/10/26/wool-scarves-inspired-by-animals/) & [etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/Ninafuehrer?page=1&zanpid=2093753810706314240&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=zanox&utm_campaign=de_buyer&utm_content=2147575) Dutch designer Nina Führer created a wool scarf collection that resembles wild creatures such as birds and foxes. The head of each creature is made with a clip-on mouth, which aims to ensure the scarf won't budge during harsh winter days. The clip-on mouth piece is the ideal way to stay warm, while providing each user with an aesthetically pleasing accessory. Each wool scarf turns into a [plush toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fahlo) friend that is committed to keeping the wind out of each wearer's face. With various styles and creatures to choose from, there is a fuzzy warm scarf to suit everyone's style. From red foxes to black badgers, all of the animals are made using a [knitting machine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaws-x-uniqlo-winter-2025). There is even an inner liner made of super soft cashmere to ensure the wearer's skin does not become irritated. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Animal-inspired Fashion:** Creating scarves with clip-on mouths adds functionality and style to cold weather accessories. - **Fashion-forward Functionality:** Combining fashion and practicality, these scarves provide warmth and aesthetics. - **Plush Toy Accessories:** Transforming scarves into plush toy friends offers a unique and playful twist on winter accessories. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore incorporating animal-inspired designs and creative functionalities into their products. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can innovate by using knitting machines to create scarves that resemble different animal species. - **Accessories:** The accessories industry can tap into the market for scarves that not only provide warmth but also serve as plush toy companions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collegiate-Style Winter Scarfs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-6.md) - [Cheese Pull Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzarella-stick-scarf.md) - [Cozy Scarf Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-coat.md) - [Two-In-One Plush Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cute-animal-pillow-with-blanket.md) - [Aromatic Winter Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ricola-capsule.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Printed Pet Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smiley-sweater.md) - [Wearable Blanket Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-blanket-hoodies.md) - [Limited-Edition Hood Trims](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hood-trim.md)
