Top 100 Fashion Photography Trends in 2017

From Vampy Film Fashion to Androgynous Denim Lookbooks

The top fashion photography trends in 2017 prioritize themes that are simple, authentic, minimalist and above all, nostalgic.

Although the world of fashion frequently looks to the past for inspiration, 2017 in particular has seen a revival in 80s culture, propelled by series like Stranger Things and classic movie remakes. This influence can be seen in everything from Bella Hadid's editorial for 032c Magazine and Nattofranco's most recent collection to 'The Ritz' fashion story from The Ones 2 Watch.

A sweeping minimalist movement has inspired consumers over the past few years, which is being continued by creations such as the monochromatic 2017 Spring/Summer collection from Japan's undecoratedMAN and one of the latest pared-down John Elliott lookbooks. As well as showing a keen interest in minimalist fashion, consumers are also looking for a designer's ideas to be presented in an uncluttered, clean way that conveys a sense of visual peace.
