Aside from film, the Alex Prager ‘Week End’ [photography show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) is all about [retro fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lillys-vintage-vault) like out-there wigs, vibrantly-stained lips, big hair and, of course, a [sinister type of glamor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks). The series of photographs also presents stills from the film ‘Despair,’ which was written by Prager—clearly, a Jill of all trades. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating retro-inspired fashion photography with a sinister glamor. - **Cinematic Influences in Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in incorporating the stylistic elements of Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch cinematography into photography. - **Multidisciplinary Artistic Endeavors:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in exploring multiple artistic disciplines, such as photography and film, to create unique and compelling experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the field of fashion photography by pushing creative boundaries with retro-inspired styles. - **Fine Art Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in fine art photography by exploring cinematic influences and creating visually striking pieces. - **Film Production:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in film production by collaborating with photographers to create visually captivating movies influenced by retro aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Archive Film Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wes-anderson-the-archives.md) - [Suburban-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suburbaninspired-art-exhibition.md) - [Human Connection-Themed Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satellite-exhibition.md) - [Collaborative Designer Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-like-heaven-art-exhibition.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Contemporary Fashion Retrospectives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-by-demna.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md)
