Ebony Beach Editorials

The Marie Claire Netherlands September 2012 Photoshoot Stars Cato Van Ee

— August 23, 2012 — Fashion
Black might not be the go-to color for a day at the beach, but the Marie Claire Netherlands September 2012 editorial makes a pretty convincing case why it should be. Mysterious and classy, a woman would certainly stand out from a crowd in these elegant ensembles. More than that, however, the fashion offers inspiration for transitioning wardrobes from summer into fall.

The Marie Claire Netherlands September 2012 editorial was shot by Philip Riches, a photographer born in Australia and based in London. It stars model Cato Van Ee. The Dutch beauty was styled by Jetteke Van Lexmond in outfits that covered her from ankles to neck and outfits that were a bit more revealing. The futuristic silhouettes were perfected with tousled tresses by hairstylist Eva Copper and sun-kissed skin by makeup artist Pernell Kusmus.
Trend Themes
1. Beachwear Blackout - The trend of elevated black fashion on the beach offers opportunities for designers to innovate and create new styles of swimwear and cover-ups that can transition easily from summer into fall.
2. Futuristic Fashion - The use of futuristic silhouettes outside of the sci-fi genre presents opportunities for designers to incorporate these styles into various types of clothing for everyday wear.
3. Transition Wear - The editorial's concept of transitional wear inspires designers to create garments that can be worn year-round, blurring the lines between seasonal fashion.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can incorporate the trend of elevated black fashion into their designs, offering consumers more options for beachwear and clothing for transitioning into fall.
2. Beauty - The beauty industry can take inspiration from the sun-kissed makeup used in the editorial to create new products and styles for their customers.
3. Photography - The editorial's futuristic silhouettes present opportunities for photographers to incorporate these styles into various genres of photography, inspiring new composition techniques and visual stories.
