To convey to a vast readership which designer is the designated fall outfitter, the most eye-catching editorial idea may be the Antidote 'Beauty & the Beast' spread, featuring a [couture clothed fashionista](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) juxtaposed with a stark naked man-prop.

Model Sigrid Agren is decked out in Versace while photographed by Giampaolo Sgura in all her cream-colored glam glory. The flexible complementing co-model, Parker Gregory, does his fair share of work striking casual compromising positions up against Agren.

The concept of the shoot was to meant to evoke a past 1993 [Versace campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green) that featured captured couple Stephanie Seymour and Marcus Schenkenberg in similar sensual positions.

From the [knee-high leather boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) Agren romps around in to the tanned and toned accessory she creates using Gregory, the 'Beauty & the Beast' pictorial captures red-hot Versace winter whites perfectly.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out
