The sequined minis had [futuristic details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) such as triangular shoulders, capped sleeves and peaks placed just at the hipbone. Dresses were sleeveless and full-length; in a few cases, a single arm was covered in sparkly silver material, like a handless opera glove. The collection also included many 1980’s inspired pieces such as harem pants, a one-shouldered electric blue micro dress and the disco music soundtrack that set the scene. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Geometric Fashion:** With futuristic details and geometric prints, there is an opportunity for the fashion industry to develop sustainable materials and use 3D printing to create customizable and environmentally-friendly garments. - **Glittery Dresses:** The popularity of glittery dresses provides an opportunity for the beauty industry to create makeup collections that complement the dresses and offer new color palettes and textures. - **80s Fashion Revival:** The revival of 80s-inspired fashion creates an opportunity in the music and entertainment industries to create nostalgic events and experiences that cater to the demand for retro-themed parties and shows. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Industry:** The use of sustainable materials and 3D printing technology can revolutionize the fashion industry and create a competitive advantage for brands. - **Beauty Industry:** The glittery dress trend can drive innovation in the beauty industry, specifically in product development for new makeup collections. - **Entertainment Industry:** The 80s fashion revival can create new opportunities in the entertainment industry for nostalgic concerts, festivals, and events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Elegant New Year-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-wang-2024.md)
