Even brands are applying the theme to advertising, taking full advantage of the growing popularity of impromptu style-stalking. After all, a true fashionista needs no warning.

The simple geometric shape of the cube provides a natural representation of the minimalist tendency that is becoming prevalent in consumers' minds.
