# Polaroid-Themed Fashion Features Instant Gratification by Lacey Brings Instant Photos to Life By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-03-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-gratification-by-lacey References: [knstrct](http://knstrct.com/2013/02/15/noteworthy-february-2013-week-2/) & [clmus](http://www.clmus.com) The [Polaroid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-life) camera has permeated our culture to be something of an iconic figure and Instant Gratification by Lacey draws inspiration from the [instant photography brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-flip) to bring a fashion feature to life. The spread is featured in *Details* magazine and features Polaroid-like props that are producing oversized snaps that feature real life products on them. Although [Polaroid instant film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-now-generation-3-moma-edition) has been discontinued for a few years now, the photography practice is still a fan favorite for many and that's clear in the Instant Gratification by Lacey shoot. The expertly curated and styled set really speaks a lot about the fashion world and how it is individually interpreted. The shots really bring the form back to life and give a fantastical experience for anyone who sees it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Polaroid-inspired Fashion:** The influence of Polaroid cameras on fashion offers opportunities for companies to develop products that blend vintage and modern design. - **Instant Photography Reimagined:** The absence of Polaroid film presents opportunities for companies to develop new instant photography solutions for creative professionals and enthusiasts. - **Mixed Media Campaigns:** Mixing photography, fashion, and product placement offers companies an opportunity to create innovative multi-sensory advertising campaigns. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can incorporate elements of Polaroid photography, such as bold colors and instant gratification, into their designs to create unique and engaging products. - **Photography:** Photography companies can develop new instant photography solutions that use modern technology to emulate the look and feel of traditional Polaroid film. - **Advertising:** Advertising agencies can explore the use of mixed media campaigns that incorporate fashion photography and product placement to create immersive and memorable brand experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Analog-Themed Camera Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-life.md) - [Rockstar-Inspired Instant Film Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-the-rebel-rebels.md) - [Branded 80s-Era Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrospekt.md) - [Retro-Tinged Polaroid Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/square-sq40.md) - [Nostalgic Camera Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-now1.md) - [Recycled Plastic Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-now-generation.md) - [Retro Doll-inspired Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-600-malibu-barbie-instant-film-camera.md) - [Skate Photography Collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-x-thrasher.md) - [Modernized Folding Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nextstep-sx100.md)
