After seeing the 3D trailer for the 'Alice in Wonderland' remake, I've got Wonderland on the brain; 'Wonderland's Spleen' by Dominik Smialowski has only added fuel to the fire. This [surreal photo shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) features models in [cotton candy dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow), tea party couture, and lemonade shift dresses. I'm for it.

**Implications** - Society has become so saturated with different forms of advertisements that consumers have become desensitized to their messages. Advertisements that now interest customers are ones that are unique for their [surreal imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinterest-autumnwinter) which makes them memorable. Companies should alter their marketing campaigns to incorporate surreal designs, appealing to a wider market.
