For this particular series, Romussi took [found beauty and fashion photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam) and overlayed them with opaque embroidery, with the end result being that the true intentions and moods of the images are either manipulated with or indeed boosted. The artist selected his images based on instinct, and was drawn to images that felt like a blank slate in that they could be suitably manipulated, boosted or otherwise tampered with using thread. Ultimately, the [clash of textures and materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) is what makes Anti-Serie such an interesting project, although the toying of emotions is also a highlight of Romussi's work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Embroidery-overlayed Photography:** Blending embroidery with photography can open up opportunities to manipulate and enhance visual messaging. - **Multi-media Artistry:** Combining various mediums, such as embroidery and photography, offers potential for unique, eye-catching pieces. - **Texture Contrast:** The contrast of embroidery and photography materials can offer innovative designs and visual interest. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from combining embroidery and photography to create unique and eye-catching designs. - **Arts and Entertainment:** Multi-media artistry has potential in the arts and entertainment industry, allowing for the creation of unique and visually captivating pieces. - **Advertising and Marketing:** The contrast of textures and materials between embroidery and photography can offer a disruptive innovation for advertising and marketing efforts to capture attention and convey messaging in an innovative way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Breathtaking Woven Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-installation.md) - [Ornamental AI Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prompting-nowhere.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Thought-Provoking Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibodies-installation.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md)
