That decade is commonly mocked for its fashion trends, including larger shoulder pads and checkered pantsuits. However, this editorial takes typical [80s fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) and contemporizes it, creating some stunning outfits. One such outfit features a white blazer jacket and a black and white animal print romper. This ensemble is finished off with some cute animal-printed heeled booties that elongate the model’s shape and complement the outfit’s overall look. Photographer Tom Munro did a wonderful job of channeling the 80s through this photoshoot. He chose to use a bright pink backdrop that makes the pinks and blacks in the ensembles pop off the screen and creates a Cyndi Lauper-esque vibe. When Glam Ruled proves that [glamorous fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rendezvous-ivory) does not necessarily have to be gaudy; it can be fun, fashionable and fabulous. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Contemporized Retro:** There is a trend in updating vintage fashion trends with a modern twist, presenting an opportunity in fashion design to create timeless pieces with nostalgic allure. - **Bold Prints:** The use of eye-catching animal prints in fashion editorials is on the rise, presenting an opportunity in textile design to experiment with bold patterns. - **Colorful Backdrops:** Fashion photography featuring brightly colored backdrops creates a striking contrast and presents opportunities in photography and set design to experiment with unique color combinations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Updating vintage fashion with a modern twist creates a unique niche market that appeals to consumers nostalgic for past fashion trends, presenting an opportunity for fashion designers to create new pieces with a vintage twist. - **Textile Design:** Bold patterns featuring animal prints are on the rise in fashion editorials, presenting an opportunity in textile design to experiment with new and unique patterns and designs. - **Photography and Set Design:** Fashion photography featuring brightly-colored backdrops creates a striking contrast and presents an opportunity in photography and set design to experiment with unique color combinations that can set apart fashion editorials from others. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bold Eyewear Collection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Whimsical High-Fashion Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md)
