# Renaissance Phone Cases The Baroque iPhone Case Lets the World Know You're Penniless By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2015-02-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baroque-iphone-case References: [shop.nylon](http://shop.nylon.com/collections/shop-livin-la-vida-broka/products/im-baroque-iphone-6-case) & [touchzerogravity](http://www.touchzerogravity.com/) The Baroque [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-1) case by Zero Gravity uses a clever pun to let everyone know that you're strapped for cash. The Baroque was an artistic period that was preceded by the Renaissance and followed by the Classics. It was an era of grandeur and opulence, making the penniless pun all the more ironic. If you're a "baroque" b*tch with expensive taste, this iPhone case is definitely for you! Wearing your financial status on your phone case might be a shameless way of looking for a hand-out, but it sure is funny. (Art history majors may feel compelled to point out that Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus' was actually done during the Renaissance, but the main point remains the same). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Art-inspired Phone Cases:** Opportunities for creating phone cases that draw inspiration from different art periods and styles. - **Creative Puns in Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in incorporating clever wordplay and puns into various fashion accessories. - **Status Symbol Accessories:** Creating accessories that allow individuals to display their financial status in a humorous and ironic way. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** Innovative opportunities exist within the fashion accessories industry to create unique and art-inspired phone cases. - **Consumer Electronics:** The incorporation of creative puns into electronic accessories like phone cases presents a disruptive opportunity within the consumer electronics market. - **Art and Design:** The utilization of art historical references in fashion accessories highlights potential innovation within the art and design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gothic Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-revival.md) - [Neo-Expressionist Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-1.md) - [Museum-Collab Monochrome Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louvre-and-casetify.md) - [Surrealist Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dali-x-casetify.md) - [Artful Accessory Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patricia-nash-designs.md) - [French Museum-Themed Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louvre-museum-and-casetify.md) - [Intricately Artful Earbud Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-case1.md) - [Iconic Artist Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-gogh-museum-solidsuit.md) - [Thematic Floral-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x-series-phone-cases.md)
