The model is styled by Summer Lawson wearing a black horse-like headdress covering her mouth, and long draping frocks designed by the Black Swan Theory. The model's pale skin almost blends into the stark background and her ebony accessories add a gothic feel to the shoot. Darla is a San Francisco native who creates scenes that are influenced by children's literature, theatre and pop surrealism. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Dark Surrealism Style:** Opportunity for fashion and furniture industries to explore dark and gothic designs. - **Pale Skin Aesthetic:** Opportunity for skincare and beauty industries to target the market for pale, gothic looks. - **Fantastical Literature Influence:** Opportunity for publishing and entertainment industries to create content influenced by children's literature and pop surrealism. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for fashion designers to explore dark gothic looks in their clothing and accessories. - **Furniture Industry:** Opportunity for furniture designers to explore dark and surreal designs. - **Entertainment Industry:** Opportunity for publishers and filmmakers to create works influenced by children's literature and pop surrealism. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Motion Blur-Inspired Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-rocking-chair.md) - [Artful Bronze Horse Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deborah-butterfield-1.md) - [Mountain Atelope-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jomo-tariku.md) - [Primal-Themed Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-return.md) - [Horsehair Fabric Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akar.md) - [Fabric-Wrapped Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhe-rocking-chair.md) - [Music-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-chair1.md) - [Horse-Inspired Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-falabella-stool.md) - [Kazakhstan-Informed Saddles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horse-saddle-design.md)
