# Candid Designer Photography Alis Pelleschi Captures Designers in Their Own Eccentric Styles By Leslie Chen | Published 2011-05-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alis-pelleschi References: [vicestyle](http://vicestyle.com/en/news/today/post/new-british-designers-in-their-own-designs-interviews-) & [alispelleschi](http://www.alispelleschi.com/) Candid photos are usually the most honest and memorable captures of people, but sometimes they leave much to be desired for the person being photographed (think mid-blink). Photographer and stylist Alis Pelleschi has taken the idea of candid camera into the high fashion realm. This photo series by Alis Pelleschi features new up-and-coming British designers she personally adores. Although not completely candid, the photos show the designers posing while wearing their own designs, allowing them for a less contrived look. Alis Pelleschi photographs the designers in everyday settings, like on the street or in a restaurant, to further create a candid feel. Each of the photos is eclectic and different in its own way, which works to show off each designer’s personality and unique eccentric style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Candid Fashion Photography:** There is an opportunity for photographers to capture more fashion designers in a candid and honest way that truly reflects their unique style. - **Up-and-coming Designer Features:** Photographers can turn the spotlight onto new designers by featuring them in candid photo series that showcase their designs and personality. - **Fashion Design Portfolios:** Designers can use candid fashion photography to create unique and effective portfolios that showcase their work in a more natural setting. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography Industry:** There is an opportunity for photographers to expand their services into candid fashion photography for designer portfolios and fashion publications. - **Fashion Design Industry:** Designers can utilize candid fashion photography in their marketing strategy, showcasing their designs in a more relatable and authentic way. - **Publishing Industry:** Candid fashion photography can be used in fashion publications to create more engaging and interesting content that reflects the designer's unique style and personality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [One-of-One Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeliza-3.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Authentic Fashion House Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2024.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Emerging Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-cleaning-exhibition.md) - [Emerging Designer Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-series.md)
