Zany Zebra-Like Outfits

This Hyuna Shin Culture Magazine Editorial Stands Out by Blending In

— June 20, 2012 — Pop Culture
Oftentimes, fashion editorials seek to prominently showcase the outfits they feature, but the looks in this Hyuna Shin Culture Magazine aim to distinguish themselves by blending in.

Each frame is a psychedelic mishmash of background and foreground; the clothing is patterned in such a way so as to resemble the backdrops they are photographed against. Using monochromatic zig zag and curvy patterns, the models become the perfect wallflowers. This is not to say that they become invisible. In fact, the looks are quite eye-popping.

Looking through the series, one can be forgiven if they get a little bit dizzy. From a distance, it can be difficult to tell where the backdrops end and the outfits begin. It may be a while before such trompe-l'oeil fashion catches on, but it most definitely has a certain appeal.
Trend Themes
1. Trompe-l'oeil Fashion - The trend of trompe-l'oeil fashion presents disruptive innovation opportunities for designers to create illusionary garments that blend in with their surroundings.
2. Patterned Backgrounds - The trend of patterned backgrounds offers disruptive innovation opportunities for photographers and stylists to create captivating visuals where the clothing seamlessly merges with the environment.
3. Eye-popping Outfits - The trend of eye-popping outfits opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for fashion brands to experiment with bold and attention-grabbing designs that still complement the overall visual aesthetic.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - The fashion design industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating trompe-l'oeil techniques to create garments that cleverly mimic their surroundings.
2. Photography - The photography industry can leverage the trend of patterned backgrounds to create visually striking images that blur the line between fashion and art.
3. Fashion Retail - The fashion retail industry can embrace the trend of eye-popping outfits by curating collections that feature bold and vibrant designs that appeal to fashion-forward consumers.
