Nunnery Couture

A push away from edginess sees fashion take a holy, conservative turn

Implications - Consumers are overstimulated when it comes to scandalous clothing choices, which has sparked a revolt; as subcultures like normcore rise, the idea of clothing suitable for church is entering the everyday. A consumer preference for antithetical branding -- on either end of the spectrum -- is pushing a pious nature to the front of the runway.

Trend Themes

  1. Rise of Conservative Fashion — Consumers are seeking more demure and church-appropriate clothing options that depart from scandalous attire.
  2. Revival of Religious Imagery — Religious and church-inspired fashion has seen a resurgence, with designers and photographers taking inspiration from religious symbology and garments.
  3. Sultry and Avant-garde Religious Fashion — Instead of traditional, covered-up garments, designers are exploring the potential of making religious-inspired clothing sultry, avant-garde, and fashion-forward.

Industry Implications

  1. Fashion Industry — Fashion professionals can take note of the rising consumer desire for conservative clothing that is still fashionable.
  2. Photography Industry — Photographers can explore the creative opportunities presented by religious symbology and explore ways to create visually striking images.
  3. Beauty Industry — Makeup artists and hair stylists can experiment with creating looks that complement religious-inspired fashion and create a cohesive overall theme.
