hese photos/graphics were inspired by the Y2K aesthetic. The first one was designed to have a scrapbook feel with the folded texture and random placement of elements. The style that is worn by Destiny Patlan, a UTRGV health science sophomore, in the pink graphic has influences of fashion from the summers of the early 2000’s.
The blue graphic goes along with the Y2K aesthetic but with darker, cyber designs. This was inspired by futuristic design styles. The fashion choice was inspired by outfits seen in popular music videos such as “Hips Don’t Lie” by Shakira, where she can be seen wearing a crop top with a skirt.
Y2K has been a trend that brings back older aesthetics that mixes into new designs. Fashion plays into the design process that can be seen in modern brands and artists.
Playing with two different styles, dark and light, can still capture what was seen in the media then and now. While the base of early media still remains the same, there has been an evolution throughout the years. Design elements, such as modernization, have changed the way Y2K style can be seen.
