# Retro Band Editorials Model Alisa Ahmann Poses in a Marching Band Uniform for Numero Magazine By M | Published 2014-08-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alisa-ahmann References: [visualoptimism.blogspot](http://visualoptimism.blogspot.ca/2014/08/swinging-london-alisa-ahmann-by-greg.html) & [numero-magazine](http://www.numero-magazine.com/) Marching bands are made chic for the September 2014 #156 issue of Numero magazine starring vixen model Alisa Ahmann. The shoot features Ahmann dressed up in a [vintage marching band uniform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-drama-school) wearing classically retro fashion ensembles. Talented photographer Greg Kadel captured retro fashion in this boldly bright editorial. The shoot focused on [heavy fake eyelashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maczine), newsboy caps, cat eye sunglasses and heavily embellished dresses. In many of the images stylist Elizabeth Sulcer revives the geeky marching band uniform by giving it a high fashion twist. Ahmann adorns the towering marching band hat along with trench coats, thigh-high boots and bold black and white eye makeup. The overall look is stunning but most likely not that appropriate for a high school band class. Better to save this look for an adventurous night out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Fashion:** Opportunity for retailers to create vintage-inspired fashion lines and capitalize on the nostalgia trend. - **High Fashion Twists:** Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate unexpected elements into traditional uniforms and create unique and avant-garde pieces. - **Bold Makeup:** Opportunity for makeup brands to release bold and dramatic products that cater to consumers seeking highly artistic and expressive looks. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Retail:** Retailers can tap into the growing demand for retro fashion by offering vintage-inspired clothing and accessories. - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can use traditional uniforms as inspiration to create unique and unconventional pieces that appeal to fashion-forward consumers. - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetics brands can develop and market bold and artistic makeup products that cater to consumers looking to make a statement with their appearance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [High School-Inspired Autumn Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erl-2.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md)
