The beauties front the publication's dual cover issue and prove that conceptual styles are always more exciting than wearable clothes. Vogue China‘s December 2014 covers are lensed by photographer Tim Walker and feature two opposing looks that are conceptual and artistic in their own way. While one cover boasts a nude-colored and ruffle-accented frock, the other features a red and wool-crafted orb that is worn over a fitted gown. These sculptural and elegant looks are reflective of Vogue China's bold vision and are sure to inspired the publication's readers. The avant garde fashions are paired with sculptural hair styles that compliment their conceptual designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 87% | 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) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Avant-garde Fashion:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for designers to push the boundaries of conventional fashion with bold and artistic concepts. - **Sculptural Hair Design:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for hairstylists to create bold and unconventional hair designs to complement avant-garde fashion. - **Conceptual Photography:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for photographers to embrace conceptual and artistic styles in fashion photography to capture avant-garde looks in an impactful way. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can capitalize on the trend for avant-garde fashion by creating new and unconventional clothing designs to push the boundaries of the industry. - **Hair and Beauty:** Hairstylists and makeup artists can leverage the trend for sculptural hair design to develop new techniques and styles that complement bold and unconventional fashion looks. - **Photography:** Photographers can capitalize on the trend for conceptual photography in fashion to push the boundaries of traditional fashion photography and capture avant-garde looks in an impactful way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant New Year-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-wang-2024.md) - [Lunar New Year Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-new-year-campaign1.md) - [Chinese Luxury Brand Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zouxin.md) - [Cross-Cultural Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Collaborative Custom Car Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-a7l.md) - [Authentic Fashion House Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2024.md)
