- Urban Fashion Photography
- The trend for urban fashion photography continues to grow as influencers and brands look to showcase clothing in an urban, gritty setting.
- Vintage-inspired Knitwear
- There is a growing interest in vintage-inspired knitwear and designers can benefit by offering modern twists on classic designs.
Sectors Adopting This

- Vintage Clothing and Accessory Sales
- As consumers continue to show interest in vintage-inspired fashion, businesses that deal in vintage clothing and accessories may see increased demand.
- Streetwear Fashion Design
- Fashion designers that offer streetwear-inspired designs and vintage knitwear will appeal to those who are seeking out the normcore aesthetic.
