The Y2K fashion trend is a movement that ironically lives on Tiktok, consumed by a generation with an online fashion archive at its fingertips. Think Paris Hilton in pink or Keira Knightly and Jamie Dornan coffee runs in Notting Hill.
Y2K? Completed it mate. Last week we reposted a clip from @momomaserati, showing the folding phone holder of a vintage Mercedes and you guys loved it. Momo is the owner of 3030 vintage, and it’s safe to say he knows a bit about Y2K fashion. A passport to a simpler time, the flip phone is a beacon of early ‘00s nostalgia and surprisingly, one of the coolest accessories you can own
User @art_seeker_ commented, “I swear humanity peaked in the early 2000s”, which, tbf, we get. What could be better than driving a vintage Mercedes, matching your tortoiseshell shades to your maple interior, Soulja Boy playing in the background?

Times may have changed, but we can’t resist a hearty dose of nostalgia. Is a Motorola Y2K on your hit list?
