(UN)SCRIPTING THE YEAR OF #2025

The internet said so. This has likely been a favourite catchphrase of us digital nomads. In an era where our likes and opinions are informed by a fleeting feed of trends and our living dens battle the possibilities of facing repeated design templates, our curious compass led us to 11 creative magnates in India who question the very existence of ‘trends’. Is it even real? Skipping the theory of what’s next and recycling the same-old patterns, they flip the script in favour of unfiltered perspectives and their constant evolution as individuals. The result? 2025 could be the year of anti-trends. A year sans predictions. A year, much unrehearsed.
