About this episode

Louise Foley from Pinterest discusses upcoming trends for 2026 and how brands can leverage them.

2025 was the year of sardine tees, filthy martinis and red leather – but we already knew that thanks to Pinterest Predicts' trend forecasts for Fisherman Aesthetic, Pickle Fix, and Cherry Coded. For 2026, Wilderkind , Poetcore , and FunHaus are among the many trend predi cti ons our favourite visual discovery engine has in store for us this year. To tell us about how brands, marketers and creators can all leverage this year's biggest vibes, we're joined once again by Pinterest's Director of Marketing, Louise Foley. Expect to discover why your audience is turning to imaginative escapism, why tren ds are growing 4.4x faster than seven years ago, and the difference between a shoppable and a successful trend.
