In the meantime, we are supposed to be in the middle of an environmental crisis of major proportions, of which the usage of non-biodegradable plastic has been identified as a major culprit.

Outfits like this are made for ingenuity-obsessed fashionistas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Plastic Couture:** Opportunity for designers to create innovative fashion using non-biodegradable plastic materials. - **Environmental Crisis:** Demand for sustainable and biodegradable materials in the fashion industry. - **Stylistic Originality:** Emerging trend of unique and original fashion styles driven by social media influence. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for designers to explore materials and techniques for creating plastic couture collections. - **Sustainable Materials:** Growing demand for biodegradable and environmentally-friendly materials in the fashion industry. - **Social Media:** Fashion influencers and brands leveraging social media platforms to promote and showcase stylistic originality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Grocery Bag Runway Accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/march-packable-tote-bag.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Artistic Dress NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Upcycled Plastic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafting-plastic.md)
