Aesthetic
Y2K
glittery millennium optimism
Frosted lip gloss, a translucent gadget that does almost nothing, and the unshakable feeling the future is going to be fun.
Y2K is the candy-coated futurism of the early 2000s - frosted plastics, butterfly clips, baby tees and a faith in technology that felt weightless and bright. It's nostalgic and playful in equal measure.
The palette is bubblegum pink, cyber cyan and holographic lilac over a deep millennium violet, all chrome highlights and translucent shine.
Names mapped here are punchy and fun, with a bright, slightly synthetic sparkle - they sound great shouted across a noughties mall.
