Renaissance Revival

Renaissance themes are revisited to communicate sophistication

Implications - Referencing both works by Renaissance masters and the architectural language associated with the cultural movement, both branding and design efforts make use of classical symbols to conflate products with the polished image of the era. Both as a means of articulating one's taste and of expressing nostalgia for classical antiquity, Renaissance imagery is often incorporated into purposefully modern products to create and emphasize contrast.
Workshop Question - If you were to pair your brand with an artistic movement, which would be most effective? Why?
Trend Themes
1. Renaissance Art and Architecture Revival - Businesses can infuse classical symbols into purposefully modern products to create and emphasize contrast, as the use of Renaissance imagery is trendy and often incorporated into branding and design efforts.
2. Versatile Luxury Fashion - Combining traditional and contemporary elements of luxury in fashion is a trend that appeals to modern consumers, and businesses can create standout pieces that celebrate opulence and luxury for the modern renaissance man or woman.
3. Artistic Sports Equipment - Trendy brands are finding inspiration from Renaissance masterpieces and incorporating them into athletic equipment, creating a unique and cultured appeal that attracts consumers looking for functional yet visually-appealing products.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - Designers have been increasingly inspired by Renaissance art in recent years, incorporating classical symbols into their collections, and creating pieces that celebrate opulence and luxury in fashion.
2. Surf and Skate Industry - Surf and skateboards have been given a stunning artistic revival for those looking for unique and luxurious products, making athletic equipment culturally relevant and aesthetically pleasing.
3. Architecture and Interior Design Industry - Brands are referencing both works by Renaissance masters and the architectural language associated with the cultural movement to create stunning interior designs that evoke both nostalgia and sophistication among customers.
