Pop culture is one of the main influencers of modern trends. From franchise-themed apparel to celebrity-backed products, this list of pop culture trends covers everything that's redefining the way we express ourselves, the way we connect, and the way we view the world around us.
One example comes from Studio Ghibli, who launched a new collaboration alongside Fernanda comprising a new series of fragrances that are exclusively available in Japan at Donguri. The collection comprises scents inspired by the studio's popular movies.
In the celebrity sphere, Snoop Dogg recently released a sneaker collection with the footwear brand Skechers. Initially teased in a Super Bowl commercial, these sneakers will be available in unisex men's sizing, with additional women's sizes to be introduced in September.
