# Feathered Armor The Barbara Palvin Numero #115 Editorial Gets Tough By Joanne Lam | Published 2010-07-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbara-palvin-numero-115 References: [studdedhearts.blogspot](http://studdedhearts.blogspot.com/2010/07/voodoochild.html) & [numero-magazine](http://www.numero-magazine.com/) This Barbara Palvin Numero #115 spread takes a soft yet wild spin on armor-inspired looks. Combining [solid metallics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment) and [lightweight feathers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots), the contrast between the two mediums in these prints makes this editorial beautifully composed. Along with Palvin's long, messy hair, her bird-like outlook within this Barbara Palvin Numero #115 spread generates plenty of appeal both in terms of style and fashion sense. **Implications** - The outfits within the editorial are wild and glamorous. Palvin plays dress-up in tiny metallic outfits that are adorned with features, charms and circular cutouts. Although her outfits are outlandish, her makeup is [soft and natural](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity). The contrast is stunning, making the photos have a youthful glow. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Armor-inspired Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new materials and design techniques to create modern and functional armor-inspired fashion. - **Contrasting Mediums:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Finding innovative ways to combine solid metallics and lightweight feathers in various industries, such as fashion, interior design, and automotive. - **Youthful Glamour:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating makeup and styling techniques that blend wild and glamorous elements with soft and natural looks for a youthful glow. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating armor-inspired fashion and contrasting mediums into runway collections, retail brands, and online fashion platforms. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing armor-inspired elements and contrasting mediums into furniture, home decor, and architectural designs. - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilizing contrasting mediums such as solid metallics and lightweight feathers in automotive design, particularly in exterior finishes and interior detailing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Bird Feather-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Untamed Nature-Inspired Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature.md) - [Vibrant Collaborative Geometric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roksanda-1.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
