# Cultish 80's Fashion Universal Mind CTRL Makes Us Want to Follow Them By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-11-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-mind-ctrl References: [lifelounge](http://lifelounge.com/Universal-mind-CTRL.aspx) & [ctrlclothing](http://www.ctrlclothing.com) You know what I like, I like a fashion line that can let people know from the start that they are out to brain wash you. I mean as long as they say it up front, it is ok. The Finnish label Universal Mind CTRL is back with their Spring/Summer 2010 collection, and it has me wanting to donate all my money to them (not really). Making sure you will stand out in the warmer months, Universal Mind CTRL is utilizing only the brightest colors in the rainbow. Plus, there are some awesome acid wash inspirations and even harem pants. Which you will need when you become the leader’s 6th wife. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 35% | 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's Driving This Trend - **Cultish Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to embrace the edgy, brainwash-inspired aesthetic and captivate a dedicated following. - **Bright and Bold Colors:** Potential for cosmetic companies to create vibrant makeup products that align with the trend of using only the brightest colors in fashion. - **Acid Wash Revival:** Opportunity for textile manufacturers to produce acid wash fabrics for clothing and home decor, capitalizing on the resurgence of this 80's trend. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can tap into the cultish trend and create clothing lines that appeal to individuals who embrace unconventional fashion statements. - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetic companies can develop vibrant makeup products that align with the current trend of bright and bold colors in fashion. - **Textile:** Textile manufacturers can produce acid wash fabrics for clothing and home decor, responding to the revived demand for this 80's aesthetic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Summer-Inspired Vibrant Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-rebel.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Summer-Centric Lifestyle Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-4.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Spring-Ready Technical Danish Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fce-2.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Adventurous Spirit Performance Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mnml-active.md) - [Bold Playful Summer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duvin-design-co.md)
