THE PROBLEM

THE PROBLEM

Being dedicated to a young adult audience, we noticed that nowadays there is a rapid and constant change in trends, forcing us to maintain an updated knowledge of our users, which is why not only the platform must evolve in its features, but also in how it is presented visually.

THE USER

THE USER

By the time I was working on this project during 2023, we noticed that one of the trends that our users were most interested in was Y2K fashion. What is Y2K? It's more than a fashion trend, it's a celebration of the daring, futuristic, and sometimes quirky style that defined the early 2000s. Inspired by the promise of a new millennium, it's packed with metallics, playful accessories, and techy details that feel forward-thinking but with a retro charm, but why this trend came back? We asked our users and these were the answers:

Resurgence

Trends often cycle, and the revival of Y2K shows its enduring appeal. Its return to the forefront of fashion demonstrates its significance in modern style.

Sustainability

Thrifting and upcycling are central to Y2K, which aligns with the current emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly fashion. Reusing and repurposing old clothing is an eco-conscious choice.

SKETCHING & WIREFRAMING

SKETCHING & WIREFRAMING

After our user interviews and research about the Y2K aesthetic, it was time to gather inspiration through mood boards and everything we can find online.
