These photo examples are from the storefronts of Kiki de Montparnasse, [Brooklyn Industries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-rice-eau-de-parfum) and [Triple Five Soul](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-paste-eczema-care)--all of which feature Obama-inspired messages. The "Hope is Sexy" statement splashed across the window is awesome. It's great to see people showing support for their preferred presidential candidate in such creative ways. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Election-inspired Storefront Displays:** The abundance of Obama-inspired storefront displays shows a trend of retailers capitalizing on political events to attract customers. - **Creative Political Advertising:** Retailers displaying Obama-inspired messages in their storefronts highlight a trend of using creative advertising methods to engage customers and make a political statement. - **Political Influence on Retail Marketing:** The Obama-themed storefront displays reflect a trend of retailers leveraging political events to align their branding and tap into the current socio-political climate. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Retail:** The retail industry can take advantage of election-inspired storefront displays to create disruptive innovation opportunities in branding, advertising, and customer engagement. - **Advertising:** The Obama-themed storefront displays showcase the need for innovative advertising strategies that combine politics, creativity, and consumer sentiment for effective brand messaging. - **Marketing:** Political events like elections present an opportunity for marketers to develop disruptive strategies that leverage current socio-political trends in their campaigns and brand positioning. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cozy Fashion Flagship Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bash-flagship-store.md) - [NYC-Based Apparel Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviator-nation.md) - [Community-First NYC Flagships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telfars-nyc-flagship.md) - [Design-Forward Concept Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-soho.md) - [Exaggerated Holiday Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-all-the-way.md) - [New York-Centric Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergdorf-goodmans.md) - [Wintry Retail Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-wonderland-popup.md) - [Vibrant Fashion Boutique Restorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-boutique1.md) - [Live Commerce Holiday Windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-windows.md)
