People are increasingly becoming siloless, borderless and fluid- forever beings, bringing radical experimentation of their identities, co-creating transformative habits through pro-social experiences and reinventing themselves against the tide of time. As boundaries of age and identity disintegrate, people discover reassurance and structure in the ever-changing. Gen Zs are leading the change with nearly 30% identifying as non-binary (as per US firm PRRI) and with Klarna’s research highlighting that more than 51% preferring fashion outside binary norms. In an age of continual transformation, the traditional boundaries defining age, beauty, tastes, race, and culture are being redefined, updated, and increasingly blurred.

Boucheron’s CEO Hélène Poulit-Duquesne showcased a new interpretation of history with their New Maharajahs collection.
“Our genderless approach to jewellery focuse[s] on the emotions our creations arouse, and emotions have no gender,” Poulit-Duquesne said.
Fluidity isn’t restricted to defying traditional constructs of hierarchies, and the ‘status quo’ associated with binary thinking - but about embracing a whole-spectrum world view, which catalyses openness to experience, resilience and adaptability as an antidote to stress.

Digital living is pushing the constructs of fluidcore into mainstream, with identities transitioning from being anonymous in the virtual landscapes to pseudonymous - which means more than one consistent identity in different planes of reality.

From Gucci to Thom Browne, Prada and Balenciaga, fashion luxury brands are increasingly designing for the US$18.9 billion ‘Avatar Market’, expected to reach US$561 billion in 2032, registering a CAGR of 34.2%.

In this emerging age of blurring edges, consumers realise that experiencing a wide array of whole- spectrum possibilities will be key to living a fulfilling life.
