The September 2019 pop culture trends provide an eclectic view of where fandom and consumer interest are headed.
A good bet can be placed on the growing appreciation of Eastern cultural representations as more and more people embrace the aesthetics of anime. This round-up contains a few examples of this, including Converse Stars' apparel collection that feature Dragon Ball Z-inspired graphics and Sailor Moon-informed dining experiences. Another sizable venture in the anime-infused category is atmos' One Piece collaboration. The partnership does not only have aesthetic value but a marketing edge as well — it is releasing in conjunction with 'One Piece Stampede.'
Naturally, the interest in anime goes beyond the cult-classics. Many artists, like Hebru Brantley, embrace this style of art and launch home decor items like the Flyboy rug.
