# Androgynous Mother Monster Editorials The Black Magazine Pejic Photoshoot is Gaga-Themed By Jordy E | Published 2012-06-18 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-magazine-spring-summer-2012 References: [xaxor](http://xaxor.com/fashion/andrej-pejic-for-black-magazine-springsummer-2012-by-mariah-jelena.html) & [blacklognz.blogspot](http://blacklognz.blogspot.ca/) The Black Magazine Spring/Summer 2012 photoshoot featuring the androgynous model Andrej Pejic displays some of the most iconic mother monster looks. [Lady Gaga](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sephora-and-haus-labs-by-lady-gaga) has been known for her love of eccentric headgear, studs, leather and [unthinkably high heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margiela-x-christian-louboutin), and Pejic has taken on these very looks in this editorial. This Black Magazine editorial was executed by photographer Mariah Jelena. Jelena’s artistic vision has contributed to Pejic’s distinctive ability to blur the lines between male and female looks. And while Pejic has been known for just this, his incorporation of starlet motifs into his ensembles delivers it in a new way. Both have been known for their willingness to overcome societal boundaries, and though they speak to different audiences, both have been successful where this is concerned. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Androgynous Fashion:** The androgynous model Andrej Pejic showcases the blurring of gender boundaries in fashion, presenting opportunities for disruptive innovation in clothing design and marketing. - **Eccentric Styling:** The iconic looks of Lady Gaga, as showcased in this editorial, inspire opportunities for disruptive innovation in avant-garde fashion and accessories. - **Creative Photography:** Photographer Mariah Jelena's artistic vision in capturing Pejic's unique style creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in fashion photography techniques and visual storytelling. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can embrace androgynous fashion and eccentric styling, finding new ways to appeal to diverse audiences and challenge traditional gender norms. - **Accessories:** The accessories industry can explore avant-garde designs and unconventional materials to cater to customers seeking unique and bold fashion statements. - **Photography:** The photography industry can experiment with creative techniques and new narrative approaches, pushing the boundaries of capturing fashion and diversity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Concept Eyewear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1.md) - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Actress-Backed Handbag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md)
