# 50s Swimwear Shoots Ana Dias' ‘Big Girls By the Pool' is Cute and Classy By Meghan Young | Published 2011-08-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-girls-by-the-pool References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/BIG-GIRLS-by-the-pool/1724221) & [anadiasphotography](http://www.anadiasphotography.com) Summertime may be coming to a close soon, but that doesn’t mean the playful and retro scenes in the Big Girls By the Pool photo series can’t still be enjoyed. In fact, this photoshoot seems like it is a sequel to the Big Girls Don’t Cry series, which was shot at a beach. Paired together, these shoots may be able to prolong the feeling of summer well into fall. Shot by Portugal-based photographer Ana Dias, the Big Girls By the Pool photo series has a vintage pinup vibe that is, however, more cute than sexual. From classic swimwear costumes designed by Luis Monteiro to glamorous hair and makeup by Clarisse Fernandes and Barbara Brandao, this photoshoot will have you wishing you could turn back time to a more carefree and elegant era. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Retro-inspired Swimwear:** Opportunity for fashion designers to create vintage-style swimwear to cater to the growing demand for nostalgic fashion. - **Pinup Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to capture the playful and classy aesthetic of pinup-style shoots for a modern audience. - **Seasonal Photography Themes:** Opportunity for photographers to create themed photoshoots that extend the feeling of a specific season or holiday. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for fashion designers to create retro-inspired swimwear collections. - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to specialize in pinup-style photography and offer unique photo shoots to clients. - **Event Planning:** Opportunity for event planners to incorporate themed photoshoots as part of seasonal or holiday events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Frilly Feminine Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunza-g.md) - [Enchanting Mediterranean Swim Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-del-sol-collection.md) - [Stylish Beach-Ready Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection.md) - [Collaborative Luxe Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty.md) - [Bespoke Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle-swimwear.md) - [Print-Focused Swim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Swimwear Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformations-second-swim-drop.md) - [Girlhood-Inspired Clothing Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-dens-sweet-cheeks.md) - [Color-Rich Swimsuit Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-club.md)
