Late last year, the GAP x Sandy Liang collaboration debuted with an animated video created by artist Annie Choi. The reaction was swift and effusive: The video and its resulting public reception went on to embody the revived interest of illustrated art in brand social marketing. While AI-generated content continues to flood our feeds, the writer @vivthemole observed, it now seems that an equal and opposite reaction to slopification is brewing.

We’re now in an era where brands stand to benefit from leaning into analog-coded visuals — if you’re not hiring professional artists to create visuals, shooting on film, or dabbling in old VHS or Tumblr-inspired aesthetics, you’re already missing out.

In the coming year, we’ll come to see fashion brands get pushed toward one of two extremes as they vie for attention online. Who will shamelessly post the sloppiest slop? And who will invest the most deeply in hand-crafted work at a time when real artistry feels like the biggest luxury of all?

stumbled on this red silk alberta feretti set in a vintage shop in rome - the top fit decently but the skirt was too big and so delicately made I felt like it wouldn’t be the move to tailor the proportions so drastically. I asked if it would be ok to separate the set and only buy the top and the shop lady (blue eyeshadow, caftan) said yes. hand washed it in a hotel sink and air dried it in the countryside sun ❤️‍🔥
