                                      report was produced by our in-house

                                      being at the cutting-edge of visual

                       This obscure but playful trend is
                       deceptively versatile. A response
                       to buzzword fatigue over such
                       terms as “authentic” or “realistic”,
                       Everyday Surrealism rejects
                       aspirational imagery in place of
                       the weird and wonderful. After
                       all, one’s realistic is another’s
                       bizarre, and that’s beautiful.

                       With all the tech that literally dictates our
                       lives, people are desperate for simpler
                       times and the freedom to do whatever and
                       go wherever without having to deal with
                       a thousand pointless notifications. Forget
                       the usual tropes on authenticity, this is the
                       visual trend that’s truly about real people
                       living real lives without any phones being
                       waved about. Are you being mindful?

                       For too long, it’s been a taboo for men to
                       cry or talk about their feelings candidly
                       without judgement. Gender stereotypes
                       have been shifting rapidly and therefore,
                       what it means to be a ‘man’ is changing
                       too. If you’re struggling to connect
                       with the men in your demographic,
                       perhaps it’s time to dump those archaic
                       personas and get up-to-speed on the
                       latest representations that are actually
                       relatable and relevant.

                       Everyone always looks back with
                       fondness. Whether it’s music or cinema,
                       everything always seems better in the
                       past – nostalgia is a powerful emotion.
                       No wonder pop culture keeps harking
                       back to the past with rose-tinted
                       glasses leaving us to reminisce about
                       the good ol’ days.

                        With so much noise and competition
                        out there, it’s easy to get lost in the
                        melee. Be adventurous, be brave and
                        be remarkable. This left-field collection
                        takes an offbeat approach to imagery
                        and is designed to pique curiosity. Being
                        different is the first step to getting your
                        audience’s attention. And this trend
                        demands attention.

                        The 21st century has been the age
                        of shifting gender representations.
                        And it all started with brave
                        women. They stood up, they
                        shouted and they started a hashtag
                        movement. 2019 sees this develop
                        further. At first, the representations
                        were bold and powerful as
                        attention was demanded. Now,
                        the representations have become
                        more nuanced, more subtle but no
                        less in your face.
