Graffiti Mimicry

Street art goes from urban sub-culture to mainstream creative

Implications - Once limited to the streets and used as a powerful form of public self-expression and labeling, graffiti has now moved on to homes and day-to-day products as an appealing form of aesthetic design. Decorating home decor, fashion, photography and furniture, the underlying principles of street art -- chaotic color, messy script and often disconnected imagery -- speak to a love of disorder and artistic expression.
Trend Themes
1. Mainstreaming of Graffiti and Street Art - The once shunned art form of graffiti and street art has now become mainstream and is influencing product design.
2. Edgy and Bold Aesthetic - Consumers are drawn to products that feature an edgy and bold aesthetic, often using graffiti-inspired design.
3. Cross-industry Collaboration - There is an increasing trend of collaboration amongst the graffiti, street art, fashion and jewelry industries.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion designers are incorporating graffiti-inspired designs into their products, appealing to consumers who want an edgy and bold aesthetic.
2. Interior Design - Graffiti and street art are making their way into home decor, furniture, and lighting fixtures, providing an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the interior design industry.
3. Jewelry - Graffiti-inspired jewelry is becoming popular, combining the bold aesthetic of street art with the luxury of precious metals and gemstones.
