Creative Director Evelio Mattos and the design teamed received direction from [Barneys New York](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/200-trunks-200-visionaries-the-exhibition) and quickly adapted a 3D mock-up complete with functioning pop-up details. They wanted to emulate Gaga in the most basic form: "an iconic Barneys’ facade literally exploding with an unexpected Gaga visual spectacular," according to Luxcrux. The invitations exhibit the performer's latest project with Barneys. The pop-up aspect is fun and it's almost as if the invitation itself is a gift. Only a select few will receive the Lady Gaga Workshop invitations but all will be able to attend the show. [Design Packaging, Inc.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerhouse-company) was challenged to design and create and deliver the invitations in just eight weeks and the result will certainly have lucky fans going gaga. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **3D Invitations:** Creating extravagant and interactive 3D invitations to events and product launches can generate excitement and elevate a brand's image. - **Pop-up Designs:** Incorporating functioning pop-up designs in invitations, packaging or marketing materials can provide a unique and memorable experience for customers. - **Customized Invitations:** Developing customized and exclusive invitations, with an attention-grabbing design and unique features, can add value and exclusivity to events or product launches. ### Who This Affects Most - **Event Planning:** Integrating 3D invitations and pop-up designs into event planning services can provide clients with a creative and engaging experience that sets their event apart. - **Packaging Design:** Incorporating pop-up designs and customized features in packaging design can capture customer attention and increase brand recognition. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Developing personalized and interactive invitations or marketing campaigns, such as 3D or pop-up designs, can generate buzz and increase customer engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Designer-Made Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unboxing.md) - [4D Designer Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-visions.md) - [Extravagant Luxury Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-hamilton-handbag.md) - [Performance-Driven Designer Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wings-of-hermes.md) - [Album-Centric Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandlab-x-d4vd.md) - [High-Society-Inspired Holiday Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bergdorf-soire.md) - [Floral Champagne Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perrier-jouet-house-of-wonder.md) - [Luxury Retailer Christmas Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-snow-globe.md) - [Global Product Launch Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-get.md)
