The dark haired beauty sports goth-chic mekeup by beauty artist Anna Oronowicz and Japanese-inspired locks by hair and wardrobe stylist Daniel Gryszke. Gryszke outfits the model in a slew of dark and edgy pieces from top designer names. Natalia pulls off angular shoulders, voluminous silhouettes and exaggerated cutouts among other daring design details while posing in studio. This dramatic black-and-white editorial merges two opposing style inspirations, bringing them together in a perfect marriage of fearlessness and femininity. The 'Black Soul' Design Scene exclusive exudes both power and vulnerability. The chic and sophisticated fashion story defies tradition and embraces a darkly demure version of the modern woman. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gothic Geisha:** Opportunities for design fusion of traditional elements with modern, edgy styles - **Dark and Edgy Pieces:** Embrace daring design details and exaggerated cutouts to create unique pieces - **Black and White Editorial:** Explore the beauty of monochrome photography for a dramatic effect ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Explore unique design inspirations to create dark and edgy pieces that defy tradition - **Photography:** Experiment with monochrome photography to create dramatic and sophisticated editorials - **Beauty:** Incorporate Japanese-inspired hair and makeup elements into gothic-inspired looks ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Dark Collab Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnightblack-collection.md) - [Gothic Footwear Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-capsule.md) - [Bold Anime-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule-hellsing.md) - [Stealthy Modern Monochromatic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md)
