This week's trends were an unusual mix of trends like morbid bride editorials with more inviting content, like creative Christmas videos.
In terms of fashion photography this week, heavily and borderline campy thematic photo shoots generated a lot of traffic. Whether coming through with a strong skateboarding theme or a dark bridal vibe, no one was left guessing about the inspiration behind featured fashion trends.
Some of the home decor and architecture trends highlighted this week focused on optimal functionality, an appealing aspect of just about any product. Whether it be a cleverly unfolding wardrobe or a home-office hybrid design to maximize space and productivity, it's clear that people are drawn to cleverly designed goods that make their lives easier.
Trend Hunter's Trend Reports delve into subjects like product design and shocking photography. If you're interesting in learning more about such trends, check out our website.
