Conversational Fashion

Intentionally unappealing designs are a new source of intrigue

Implications - By no means are bacon and eggs stylish, yet as of late, breakfast foods have become a recurring theme in both fashion and home decor. They're part of the greater trend of ironic fashions designed not to look good or flatter the wearer, but to attract attention and act as conversation starters.
Trend Themes
1. Food-inspired Fashion - Designing fashion and accessories inspired by food is a disruptive innovation opportunity that can intrigue consumers and create unique products and designs that set a new trend
2. Quirky Home Decor - Introducing playful and unexpected elements into everyday household items creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation by taking commonplace items and adding whimsy and novelty
3. Everyday Items as Artistic Musings - Recasting everyday items as art inspires creativity and innovation because the familiar objects offer opportunities to view them in new and unique ways
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - Turning food into fashion opens up new avenues for design and sustainable practices while capturing the attention of food and fashion lovers alike
2. Home Decor Industry - Incorporating quirky and unexpected elements into household items creates a distinct identity for companies and can help them differentiate themselves in a crowded market
3. Art and Photography Industry - Taking everyday items and reimagining them in a creative way can be a way for artists and photographers to create unique pieces that stand out from the rest of the field
