The brand was recently resurrected by Kirtie Regan, and now all the one-name celebs--Rihanna, Mariah, Fergie, Paris--are sporting the millennium-era Members Only jackets. From the plushy soft [leather jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l2b-flight-jacket) to the [varsity-style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homecoming-styles) hot nylon ones, fashion-forward stars regularly include Members Only jackets in their style repertoire. Members Only also sports a wide selection of [animal prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-couture-x-madhappy). **Implications** - These sassy looks will ensure that onlookers are constantly doing double-takes of your attire, trying to soak in the visual wonderment that is your fashion style. Jealousy awaits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **80's Fashion Brand Revivals:** The revival of once-popular 80's fashion brands presents an opportunity for companies to capitalize on nostalgia-driven trends. - **Celebrity-driven Retro Fashion:** Celebrities wearing retro clothing brands can influence consumer purchase decisions. - **Animal Print Fashion:** Animal print fashion is becoming a popular trend for both consumers and designers, presenting opportunities to incorporate it into new fashion lines. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Reviving retro fashion brands, and capitalizing on trend-driven clothing lines, presents new opportunities for the fashion industry to innovate. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Creating advertising and marketing campaigns that tap into nostalgia-driven trends, and partnering with nostalgic brands, can open up new business opportunities for advertising and marketing agencies. - **Textile and Apparel Manufacturing:** Incorporating animal prints into new fashion lines in creative ways presents new production opportunities for textile and apparel manufacturers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heritage Varsity Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trends-of-varsity-jackets.md) - [Music-Informed Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roc-nation-and-moncler.md) - [Flattering Retro Oversized Denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jnco.md) - [Brand Refresh Preview Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheap-monday-event.md) - [Nostalgic Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-90s-looks.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Artist-Collab Branded Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidl-by-lidl.md) - [QSR Collaborative Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonaldland-clothing-line.md) - [Gen X-Targeted Fashion Labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regalo-studios.md)
