# Ghoulish Glam Galleries Rebeca Saray Gude's Ashes to Ashes Series is Elegant and Edgy By Meghan Young | Published 2011-08-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ashes-to-ashes References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Ashes-to-Ashes/1369345) & [rebecasaray](http://www.rebecasaray.com) With the fall season on the horizon, and therefore the [Halloween holiday](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouqs-spooky-collection) looming ever closer, there will be more and more photo shoots like this one titled Ashes to Ashes. Ghoulish yet glamorous, its sinister vibe is tempered by the [elegant and edgy outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) worn by the model, who appropriately goes by the name of Darkmoon. As though inspired by a [Tim Burton film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1), the Ashes to Ashes photo series has a dark and subtly strange theme. Shot by Madrid-based photographer Rebeca Saray Gude, who was assisted by David Lopez, the Ashes to Ashes photo series may have a gloomy air to it, yet there is an almost hopeful look in Darkmoon’s eyes, as though these sad and, let’s face it, scary days will soon be over. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 71% | 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) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ghoulish Glam:** Opportunity for creating eerie and stylish photo shoots with a touch of darkness and glamour. - **Sinister Vibe:** Chance to incorporate subtle strangeness and dark themes in fashion photography. - **Elegant Edgy:** Creating a juxtaposition of elegance and edginess in fashion and photography. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Photography:** Dress models in elegant and edgy outfits for photo shoots with a dark and glamorous twist. - **Halloween Events:** Organize Halloween-themed events that combine elegance and ghoulish allure. - **Fashion Design:** Design fashion collections that embrace dark and edgy aesthetics while maintaining elegance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comedic Horror Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-x-beetlejuice.md) - [Limited-Edition Spooky Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annabelle-cosmetics.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Comedy Horror Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-cosmetics-x-wednesday.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Haunting Fine Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice.md) - [Halloween-Themed Flower Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouqs-spooky-collection.md) - [Vampire Slayer Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampyre-cosmetics.md) - [Spooky Pastel-Hued Halloween Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-spooky-halloween-decor-collection.md)
