Introduction COVID-19 has enabled us to discover innovative outlets for life as well as discover individuals' abilities to conform to stressful situations we would have never obtained pre-pandemic. It taught us to be creative in a way that we never thought we could. It has allowed our bold identities to surface and express a new form of individualism. We have found a way to bridge our virtual and physical worlds together through phantasmagorical decor between day and night. A contemporary urban romanticism asserts itself thanks to our need for self-expression, poetry, and a dramatic or more underground glamour.

The Pandemic created an escape that became a necessity. We had to learn how to have fun under the radar. Stay in our own space yet somehow make outlets that allowed us to live our glamorous lives underground, which allowed us to divulge into parts of our individuality. Creating a glimpse of how much more there can be in a space where there isn't. We have been transformed into designers of our own and forced to conceptualize bringing our digital worlds to life. It allowed for fresh creativity to erode the separation between real and virtual into architecture, fashion, and lifestyle.

Expect more extravagance and utmost expression of individualism. That will take in our bionic aesthetics and romantic styling. Bold colors, abundant materials, silky and velvet surfaces, and curvaceous shapes will prevail across all product categories.

Rethink what once was the norm; cozy and conventional. Allow for emerging designs that bring a new vision of silhouettes, shapes, and sizes. Look to branch out into new materials and fibers. Bring forth spunk and melodrama in accessories, fashion, and interiors that can be mixed with conscious hybrid materials.

Surface interest for romantics

Embrace the bridge

Utilize maximalist finishes to elevate and allude to a glamorous “underground” lifestyle. Use curvaceous and irregular lines to reference romanticism. Bring forth the implementation of customization and individualism that derive from the quarantine lifestyle market.
