Pinterest has unveiled a brand-new collaboration with global tech and lifestyle brand CASETiFY — and it’s already shaping up to be one of 2026’s biggest aesthetic moments. The limited-edition range of phone cases and accessories is inspired by Pinterest Predicts™ 2026, with its standout trend Wilderkind taking centre stage.
Pinterest Predicts, the platform’s annual cultural report, has become a go-to trend forecast for fashion, lifestyle, design and consumer behaviour. For the past six years, the report has consistently spotlighted the ideas and aesthetics that define the year ahead, and 2026 is no exception.
Rewriting the Rules in 2026
Using deep platform insights alongside new global qualitative research, Pinterest Predicts identifies 21 emerging trends for 2026, each rooted in themes of nonconformity, self-preservation and escapism.
According to Pinterest, the chaos and overstimulation of recent years is driving people to slow down, conserve energy and prioritise authenticity. From the way we dress to the way we decorate our homes, consumers are seeking comfort, optimism and more meaningful forms of self-expression.
Introducing Wilderkind
At the heart of this year’s forecast is Wilderkind — a soft, nature-led aesthetic inviting people to reconnect with the wild in gentler, more imaginative ways. The trend is particularly resonating with both Gen Z and Boomers, with searches such as “deer aesthetic” rising 55% and “animal-inspired outfits” up an impressive 90% year over year.
To bring this visual fantasy to life, CASETiFY’s design team collaborated with celebrated artist Joel Mesler and UK-based illustration studio Papio Press, founded by Harry Marshall and Zanna Goldhawk. The result? A collection of more than 10 unique designs featuring fawn freckles, delicate butterfly wings, fox-tail silhouettes and woodland florals.
Turning Trend Signals into Wearable Art
The Pinterest x CASETiFY collection transforms Wilderkind into tactile, wearable pieces of art — merging Pinterest’s cultural foresight with CASETiFY’s reputation for creativity and self-expression. The full collection is available globally at casetify.com/collection/pinterest-predicts.
Louise Foley, Pinterest’s Director of Marketing for Europe, shares:
“Every month, 600 million people come to Pinterest searching for fresh inspiration and a trend to make their own. That’s what makes Pinterest Predicts so special — we get a first look at what’s about to capture imaginations everywhere. ‘Wilderkind’ is set to be one of the standout styles for the year ahead, and we’re thrilled to see CASETiFY bring it to life in such a fun and creative way.”
Where to Buy
Fans can shop the collection online or visit it in person at CASETiFY’s SoHo store in New York and the CASETiFY Studio inside Selfridges London during December 2025.
A New Era of Nature-Driven Design
The Pinterest Predicts x CASETiFY collaboration celebrates the influence of cultural signals on modern design, inviting consumers to explore a wilder, whimsical approach to self-expression. As we head into 2026, Wilderkind is poised to become one of the year’s most defining aesthetics — blending forest-core fantasy with everyday creativity.
