90s Vintage

Start of a new decade makes grunge looks of the 90s outdatedly hip

Implications - With the dawn of a new decade, the 90s are officially being labeled 'vintage,' a fashion term arousing new interest among hipsters who thrive on reviving outdated looks. Grunge, a notable rocker look iconic of the early 90s, is making its comeback through messy hair, plaids, and lots of black.
Trend Themes
1. 90s Vintage - The revival of 90s grunge fashion is showing a growing demand for vintage fashion.
2. Haute Punk Hybrids - The coalescence between punk rock and haute couture fashion presents further opportunities for disruptive innovation.
3. Faux Retro Hipster - Using faux retro imagery allows for innovative customization of fashion decades past, without sacrificing quality or authenticity.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Reviving past fashion trends and mixing them with new styles provides creative ways for fashion companies to set themselves apart from competition.
2. Advertising - Challenging traditional advertising campaigns by using unphotoshopped and models of all sizes and colors increases user engagement and interest.
3. Music - The resurgence of grunge music and its fashion counterparts allows musicians the opportunity to tap into nostalgia to attract audiences.
