About Dopamine Dressing / Maximalism
Dopamine Dressing is the post-pandemic color explosion — the 2021–2024 fashion trend that declared "wear all the colors at once because we've been in sweatpants for two years." Valentino's PP Pink, Bottega's Parakeet green, clashing patterns, and the joyful refusal to tone it down.
The visual rule is that there are no rules. Every section takes a different dominant hue, combinations that should not work are the point, and typography mixes Bungee chunk with Pacifico script without apology. More is more is more is more.
