Mira Mikati started her collection after venturing out on her own in 2012. Co-owner of Beirut fashion mecca, Plum, the designer has become a label beloved by fashion's elite. Her playful collection, a [collaboration with Craig Redman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-to-heart), features [tailored separates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea) elevated by [whimsical cartoon graphics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel) and emojis with a happy message. This coat features 'OMG!' on the breast pocket, a pair of eyes, 'LAUGH' and 'WAKE UP!' on the back. This fun loving coat is similar to the likes of German designer Anya Hindermach. Both labels use emoji-like work to decorate their pieces. The Mira Mikati coat is refined, established and brilliant. The brand captures a mashup of minimalism and maximalism perfectly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Emoji Fashion:** The integration of emojis and cartoon graphics into fashion provides opportunities to appeal to younger generations and create unique design collaborations. - **Whimsical Minimalism:** Combining a minimalist aesthetic with playful and whimsical design elements presents opportunities for creating clothing that is both stylish and lighthearted. - **Cartoon Collaboration:** Collaborating with cartoonists and illustrators to incorporate their work into fashion designs creates opportunities to offer unique and eye-catching pieces that appeal to a wider audience. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore incorporating cartoon graphics, emojis, and other playful design elements into their collections to appeal to younger generations and differentiate their brand. - **Illustration:** Illustrators and cartoonists can collaborate with fashion designers to incorporate their work into clothing lines, creating unique opportunities to showcase their talents and reach a wider audience. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising professionals can explore using cartoon graphics and emojis in their campaigns to appeal to younger generations and create eye-catching content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Designer Knitwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-anya-hindmarch.md) - [Printed Pet Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smiley-sweater.md) - [Nostalgic Cartoon Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doraemon-fall.md) - [Double-Faced Wool Blend Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handstitched-belted-coat.md) - [Playful Street Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-to-heart.md) - [Cozy Scarf Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-coat.md) - [Belted Wool Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-mandy-coat.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md) - [Limited-Edition Hood Trims](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hood-trim.md)
