Filed Under: Tantalizing Concepts
This unbelievable Color Picker concept pen by Jinsun Park is one of those things that you just wish you could yearn into existence. I am pretty sure I would be buying one of these for every member of my family for the holidays. Park’s other concepts include a sink that doubles as a water fountain and a personal map projector. We’re just waiting for some brand to snatch her up to...

Filed Under: #Fail or #Swag?
Every once in a while a reality show will appear and you find yourself thinking, “If this is real the Horsemen of the Apocalypse must be right around the corner. But if this is fake, this is some of the best written satire yet.” Vice’s new “London hipster reality show,” Dalston Superstars is now filling that confusing void. Around the Trendera office we have a...

Filed Under: Taco Bell x Doritos = Genius
The news that Taco Bell is testing Doritos taco shells makes us think two things almost simultaneously: 1) This is possibly the best sounding bad for you thing ever 2) How has it taken them this long to do this?! This is brand marriage that is so smart we truly wish we’d thought of it ourselves. Because stoners and frat boys everywhere are not going to say no to this. They won’t be...

File Under: Girls Teaser Trailer
This week, the internet is buzzing about HBO’s teaser trailer for their upcoming series Girls. Written by Tiny Furniture’s Lena Dunham along with new king of girl comedy Judd Apatow, the hope is that Girls will be Gen Y’s Sex and the City- just as frank and fresh, but also young and broke.

Filed Under: Mockupation on Law & Order SVU Set
An article in Gothamist covered NBC’s Law & Order: SVU hosted a “Mockupation” over the weekend as they opened an Occupy Wall Street set to actual Occupy Wall Street protestors. The show meant to cast a sympathetic light on the movement, but was shut down by NYPD when the set became all too close to replicating an actual protest. Protestors chanted “NYPD doesn’t...

Filed Under: Shit Girls Say
This video might be proof positive that while a popular twitter feed can’t be reliably turned into a hit sitcom (sorry “Stuff My Dad Says”) they should ABSOLUTELY be used as fodder for online shorts guest starring Juliette Lewis. We would watch a whole channel devoted to creating these.

Filed Under: American Pie Nostalgia
Though their box office numbers are continually strong (not including the straight to DVD spin-offs), some may argue that the original American Pie movie is the only one worth watching. The marketers behind next year’s sequel, American Reunion, are clearly aware of the nostalgia we all have for our introduction to band camp memories and warm apple pie. Take a look at the original...

Filed Under: Tory Burch Loveletter to New York
We’ve said it before, Gen Ys respond to brands that support local culture. Which is why Tory Burch’s Loveletter to New York video in T Magazine this week came as a breeze of fresh air to see Tory herself happily strolling around the Upper East Side, opening the ancient gates of the Frick, talking us through her own New York story.
Breaks like these from brands are exhilarating. They...

Filed Under: Shame
Michael Fassbender is likely in the next few months to become at the very least a major heartthrob, if not a major star. Unknowingly, I have seen him in two movies in the past two weeks, A Dangerous Mind, and now Steve McQueen’s Shame in which he completely outshines Carey Mulligan as a sex addict.
Almost a contemporary American Psycho without the blood lust, McQueen’s Shame is...

Filed Under: I Am Awesome
Lately here at Trendera we have been talking and writing about a new trend we’ve been noticing that we’re calling Buying (Into) Optimism. It seems like after years of being cheerfully optimistic, Gen Ys’ ‘half full’ point-of-view is being tested and they’re looking for ways to bolster that optimism and positivity! These “I Will Never Forget That I Am...

Filed Under: Fray Is The New Fold
Menswear doesn’t have a lot of options, so it’s all about the details. One of the details that dominated the last year has been cuffing ones pants, and even shorts over the summer. But now fashion influencers are moving on (or back) to the fray. A look that I’m really feeling right now for almost any outfit.
