# 80s Icon Editorials Ashley Smith Channels Debbie Harry for Vogue Turkey June 2011 By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2011-06-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ashley-smith-vogue-turkey-june-2011 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/ashley-smith-ellen-von-unwerth-vogue-turkey-june-2011/) & [vogue.tr](http://www.vogue.com.tr/) Blonde bombshell Ashley Smith channels her inner Debbie Harry for Ellen von Unwerth's camera in [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club) Turkey June 2011. Fashion editor Sebastian Kaufmann chose several 80s and punk-inspired fashion from the likes of [Burberry Prorsum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-goddess-amber-vanilla), [Bottega Veneta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alta-collection1), Ann Demeulemeester and Haider Ackermann to complete the Blondie look. In the editorial, Smith struts down city streets, lounges inside a lush nightclub, touches up her makeup backstage and finally hits the stage. With her slightly frizzy mane, bright red lips and perfectly smoked eyes, Ashley Smith makes a convincing Debby Harry double. My favorite shot from the Vogue Turkey June 2011 editorial is the one in which Smith lounges face-down on a bench. The vibrant striped dress, attitude-filled pout and pointed boots are exactly what I'd imagine a pop culture icon like Debbie Harry wearing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **80s-inspired Fashion:** The resurgence of 80s-inspired fashion offers an opportunity for designers to reinvent classic looks with a modern twist. - **Embracing Nostalgia:** Consumers are increasingly seeking nostalgia in fashion, creating an opportunity for brands to tap into the sentimentality market. - **Celebrity-inspired Editorials:** Creating celebrity-inspired editorials presents an opportunity for fashion brands and magazines to engage with audiences on a deeper level. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can take advantage of the resurgence of 80s-inspired fashion and consumers' desire for nostalgia to create new lines or revamp existing ones. - **Publishing:** Publishers can leverage celebrity-inspired editorials and engage their audiences in a more meaningful way through creative collaborations with brands and celebrities. - **Beauty:** Beauty companies can create makeup and skincare products that are inspired by iconic looks from the past, tapping into the nostalgia market and offering customers a sense of familiarity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Effortless Urban Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knys-fall-2025.md) - [Collaborative Luxe Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty.md) - [Fashion Legend Barbie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claudia-schiffer-barbie.md) - [Nostalgic Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-90s-looks.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Bold Eyewear Collection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club.md)
