# Masked Creature Editorials Ben Toms Created This Creepy Cover for 'Dazed & Confused' Magazine By Jessica Marren | Published 2013-05-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-toms References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2013/05/16/animal-house-editorial-by-ben-toms-for-dazed-and-confused/) Photographer Ben Toms brought to life this questionably creepy editorial for the cover for the June 2013 issue of Dazed & Confused. The shoot features young males wearing odd creature masks and sweaters that have angry animals on them. The whole thing encapsulates a rather casual "what are you looking at?" vibe. Ben Toms relied on stylist Robbie Spencer to help him created this colorfully bizarre fashion spread. Masked figures are not really a rarity in the world of fashion but these [scarecrow masks are terrifying alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-monsters-collection) to the usual face covering accessories we see in spreads. These furry and feathered face covers were combined with [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otani), [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axiom-space-x-prada) and other high end designers to create this stirring collection of images. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Scarecrow Masks:** The use of terrifying scarecrow masks as a fashion statement in editorials offers opportunities for novel and unique fashion accessories. - **Creature Fashion:** The trend of incorporating creature-inspired designs into high-end fashion opens up new possibilities in the industry. - **Animalistic Prints:** Utilizing animalistic prints and patterns in clothing design provides new avenues for expression in fashion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** The use of unconventional accessories and designs in fashion editorials creates opportunities for creativity and innovation in the fashion industry. - **Photography Industry:** The trend of incorporating unique accessories and styles in fashion editorials offers opportunities for photographers to experiment with their craft. - **Design Industry:** The use of animalistic prints and patterns in fashion design presents new design opportunities for designers in the fashion industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Monster-Adorned Capsule Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-collections.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Artful Luxe Fashion Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otani.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Warped Dynamic New-Gen Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vern-morph-and-form.md)
