In the case of this lookbook, e-retailer Dolls Kill opts for a more daring approach and creates an advertorial that draws inspiration from [alternative youth cultures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youthfocused-fashion-brand). Referencing pastel goths, ravers and [grunge kids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection), this lookbook proves that fast fashion marketing will garner attention when it breaks the mold. The image series is an edgy take on classic school girl styles and is titled 'You Can Sit With Us', a more inclusive version of the iconic Mean Girls film quote. Dolls Kill's latest collection features a mix of graphically printed statement tees, neon sweatshirts and sky-high platforms that are a raver must-have. The line also features custom smartphone cases, whimsical stuffed animals and even swimwear that will turn heads at the beach. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Alternative Youth Culture Fast Fashion:** Fast fashion marketing can break the mold by appealing to alternative youth cultures through daring advertising. - **Whimsical Accessories and Apparel:** Custom accessories and fun apparel items can increase brand recognition and appeal in the fast fashion industry. - **Inclusive Advertising Campaigns:** Inclusive marketing, such as Dolls Kill's 'You Can Sit With Us' campaign, can capture consumer attention in the fast fashion industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Fashion Retail:** The fast fashion industry can benefit from bold marketing that targets alternative youth cultures. - **Apparel and Accessories:** Customized apparel and accessories can increase brand loyalty and recognition in the fast fashion industry. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Inclusive and daring advertising campaigns can capture consumer attention and increase brand appeal in the fast fashion industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Uniform-Inspired Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-drama-school.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Accessible Nostalgic Apparel Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-and-den.md) - [Reimagined Doll-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polly-pocket-x-cider-collection.md) - [Brand Refresh Preview Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheap-monday-event.md) - [Spooky Back-to-School Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keds-x-monster-high.md) - [Limited-Edition Film-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-collection.md) - [Confident Fashion Rebranding Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/people-will-talk.md) - [Refreshed Expressive Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheap-monday-relaunch.md)
