Dimly Lit Monochrome Editorials

The Last Magazine Black Sun Photoshoot is Dark and Enthralling

— May 2, 2014 — Fashion
The Last Magazine Black Sun editorial is currently being broadcast in the publication's Spring/Summer 2014 issue. Much as the title suggests, model Daria Werbowy was cast in dark lighting, revealing no color aside from a few pale shades.

Photographer Mikael Jansson executed this monochromatic fashion production. Stylist Alastair McKimm met the alluring theme with ease via charcoal-hued leather jackets, metallic embellishments and a silver nose ring only. Hair expert Yannick d'Is also stuck to the basics with slicked back tresses, drawing attention to Werbowy only amid the shadows.

Make-up was similarly muted as Mark Carrasaquillo opted for a natural look, clearly all that was needed to showcase this photoshoot which will no doubt inspire followers of the fashion industry this season.
Trend Themes
1. Monochrome Fashion - The use of monochromatic color schemes in fashion shoots opens up opportunities for innovative use of lighting and shadows.
2. Minimalist Makeup - Minimalist makeup trends will soon challenge the cosmetic industry to develop makeup products that enhance natural beauty without being too obvious.
3. Sleek Hairstyles - The return of sleek, minimalist hairstyles provides opportunities for hair care and styling product innovation.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion brands and retailers could benefit from exploring a range of monochromatic collections and innovative lighting techniques to showcase their products and create an enhanced consumer experience.
2. Cosmetics - The rise in minimalist makeup trends will challenge cosmetics manufacturers to develop more subtle and natural-looking products.
3. Hair Care - The sleek hair trend could open up opportunities for hair care companies to develop more efficient and effective products for achieving that glossy, sophisticated look.
