# Post-Apocalyptic Surf Fashion The Year Zero Collection Brings a Vintage Edge to Dystopian Wear By Matt Ho | Published 2011-09-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-zero-collection References: [pitchblend.tumblr](http://pitchblend.tumblr.com/) & [localdistribution.au](http://localdistribution.com.au/globe-year-zero-collection-launch/) To promote the upcoming post-apocalyptic surf movie Year Zero, Globe is releasing the Year Zero Collection, which is a series of outfits inspired by the upcoming flick. Globe describes the story as a “modern take on high performance surfing set in a post-apocalyptic world, reminiscent of Mad Max or an HG Wells novel.” The Year Zero Collection draws inspiration from the film’s dystopian art directions. To truly capture the gritty nature of a world gone wrong, each of the pieces has a vintage aesthetic that beautifully complements the inspiration behind the grim theme. The collection includes a Vietnam War-era jacket, a vintage motorcycle coat, Japanese denim, a black boardshort and a leather boot. Look for the Year Zero Collection to hit stores on October 21st. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Post-apocalyptic Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore materials and designs that reflect a dystopian world for a unique fashion statement. - **Vintage Aesthetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine vintage styles with modern fashion for a retro-futuristic look. - **Movie-inspired Collections:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with film studios to create fashion collections that capture the essence of their movies. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace unconventional themes and narratives to push boundaries in the fashion industry. - **Film:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize fashion collaborations to enhance the cinematic experience and extend the reach of movies. - **Surfing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge surf culture with unconventional fashion to create unique and eye-catching apparel for surf enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Punk Skate Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-skateboards.md) - [Post-Apocalyptic Denim Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrangler-x-the-last-of-us.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Retro-Themed Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/episode-7-collection.md) - [Industrial Sci-Fi Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-x-dune.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Film-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-on-one-collection.md) - [Dystopian Series Activewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-x-squid-game-collection.md)
