Demonic Culture

Innovations reflect dark and frightening elements of the supernatural

Implications - Appealing to society’s fascination with the macabre, artists, photographers and brands are increasingly using the themes of demonic possession and the supernatural in their offerings. Frightening themes that use satanic elements can tap into the core of societal fears, thus presenting a powerful medium with which to send your message.
Trend Themes
1. Horror-themed Fashion - Incorporating horror themes in fashion and editorials can captivate and frighten audiences, offering new design opportunities for brands and designers.
2. Demon-inspired Artwork - Artwork and photography influenced by the demonic and supernatural can awaken societal fears and desires, making a bold statement and creative inspiration for artists and designers.
3. Satanic Accessories - Satan-inspired jewelry and accessories offer a counter-culture expression and unique statement that appeals to a smaller but lucrative target audience.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Brands and designers can incorporate horror and demonic themes to captivate audiences, offering new and unique fashion designs and editorials.
2. Art and Photography - Artists and photographers can draw on the demonic and supernatural to create emotive artwork and photography that taps into societal fears and desires.
3. Jewelry and Accessories - Satanic-inspired accessories offer consumers a counter-culture look and statement, providing unique design opportunities for jewelry and accessory businesses.
