The American filmmaker (The Eccentric Tenenbaums, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moon Kingdom, among others) is famous for cultivating an instantly recognizable visual style full of pastels, impeccably symmetrical shots, and characters looking straight into the camera. The director's refined sensibilities have inspired hordes of online admirers for years. Now, Wes Anderson became a trend.

Wes Anderson's trend makes users romanticize everything, from reading in their home libraries, walks around the city, a subway trip in São Paulo and even a trip to the supermarket. The idea is to live your days as if you were actually in a film by the filmmaker.
