Top Trends of the Week

Considering this week saw the first few days of 2013, the microtrends seen within this time were festive and showed promise for this new year. This week was all about playing with common perception, with pieces like the Cat Transit System, which toys with the idea of pet play, and the MAC Strength campaign, which challenges common gender roles. In general, animals and pet personification were popular this week -- who could ever forget the adorable festive pet portraits?

It also seems today's consumer is craving a hint of darkness. Topping off this week's hottest finds are the batman bookshelves combining the dark side of nerdiness with modern design, lifelike taxidermy tables and opulent supernatural nightclubs that satisfy your cravings for sophistication and spookiness simultaneously.
