This pop-up from [Klarna](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thats-smoooth) takes guests through a journey in time that shows the evolution of these core themes, as well as shopping. The experience offers a reminder of what shopping used to be like, thanks to unreliable dial-up Internet, and a time before Klarna's flexible payment solutions, shoppable video and unbiased in-app search. The opening of the pop-up was timed to match the launch of an exclusive Paris Hilton x Klarna velour tracksuit that's available exclusively through the Klarna app. The interactive pop-up also offers a look at iconic items from Paris Hilton’s private archives, including the iconic denim outfit seen on “The Simple Life.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celeb Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Y2K Shopping Trends:** The rise of Y2K shopping pop-ups and experiences provide a market opportunity for brands to draw on nostalgia and leverage new technologies to create distinctive experiences for customers. - **Flexible Payment Solutions:** The popularity of Klarna's flexible payment solutions presents disruptive opportunities for new financial technology products. - **Shoppable Video Content:** The emerging trend of shoppable video content provides advertisers with an innovative way to monetize videos while offering a seamless shopping experience for viewers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry has seen disruptive innovation with the rise of Y2K fashion, sustainable fashion, and digital fashion shows. - **Financial Technology Industry:** The rise of online payment solutions and virtual banking has led to disruptive innovation in the financial technology industry. - **Advertising Industry:** The advertising industry is set for disruption with new innovations such as shoppable video content, influencer marketing, and personalized ads. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Y2K Shopping Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thats-smoooth.md) - [Y2K Mall Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nostalgia-mall.md) - [Exclusive Y2K Party Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/y2k-noughties-era-experience.md) - [Extravagant Luxury Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-hamilton-handbag.md) - [Immersive Back-to-School Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-pop-up.md) - [Collaboration Retailer Bus Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-x-klarna-in-pink-we-trust.md) - [Festive Airport Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-holiday-popup.md) - [House Party Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boots-beauty-house-party.md) - [Throwback Cardholder Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-card-popup.md)
