Inspired by society's obsession with materialism and commercialization, the designer explores the decline of spirituality and rise of atheism during the twenty-first century. Playing with [sculptural silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection), the designer defines bold new shapes with the help of traditional origami construction techniques. Displayed in a bold palette of black and yellow tones, this [architectural womenswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic) line references a monastic aesthetic often associated with monks and nuns of various religious sects. In addition to its spiritual connotations, the Ria Keburia 'Revival' collection also references [sci-fi imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2) as it channels a loose representation of Star Wars' iconic Queen Amidala character. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Religious-futuristic Fashion:** There is an opportunity to tap into the growing interest in merging religious and sci-fi themes in fashion to create unique garments. - **Sculptural Silhouettes:** Exploring innovative construction techniques like traditional origami can lead to the creation of bold and avant-garde shapes in womenswear. - **Monastic Aesthetic:** Drawing inspiration from the monastic aesthetic can create a niche in the fashion industry by incorporating minimalist and spiritual elements. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can explore the fusion of religious and futuristic themes to create original and thought-provoking collections. - **Architectural Design:** Architects can draw inspiration from sculptural silhouettes in womenswear to create innovative and avant-garde structures. - **Spiritual Products:** The monastic aesthetic can be applied to other industries, such as home decor and lifestyle products, to cater to consumers seeking a minimalist and spiritual lifestyle. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Archaeology-Inspired Eco-Friendly Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aelis.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Avant Garde Seasonal Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md)
