Of course, it goes without saying that Y2K’s influence on the butterfly motif in fashion is infinite. The aforementioned Mariah Carey Ungaro top that she wore to the “VH1’s Divas 2000: A Tribute to Diana Ross.” has become the blueprint for many in the year 2021. Both Olivia Rodrigo and Saweetie recently reinterpreted the look, low-rise light wash jeans and all. And who could forget Christina Aguilera’s epic Versace butterfly dress from the 2000 discount nike Grammys? Dua Lipa paid tribute to it during this year’s VMAs.
“Y2K posed a similar sense of existential threat as Covid-19, so it’s interesting to see the paralleled prominence of the butterfly in these two periods,” explains Valerie Jacobs, Chief Growth Officer, and Head Futurist at LPK. “Y2K wasn’t just the start of a new day, new year, or new decade. It was the start of a new century. Once we turned that page, we saw the butterfly in the highest echelons of fashion.”
For many, the butterfly also symbolizes a positive message amidst a world very much still in a pandemic. That was the idea for Susan Alexandra, who has become well-known nike air force 1 online for her beaded butterfly bags and hair clips in a rainbow of colors. “I love that butterflies symbolize rebirth and freedom,” she says. “I have been doodling and sketching them since I was six years old! It was a natural choice to use them in my work; I always pull from childhood!” Echoes Jacobs, “Over the past year-and-a-half, we’ve all been ‘cocooning,’ literally and figuratively. We want to reemerge and take flight.”
