Much as the title suggests, model Daria Werbowy was cast in [dark lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darkest-campaign-yet), revealing no color aside from a few pale shades. Photographer Mikael Jansson executed this [monochromatic fashion production](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), clearly all that was needed to showcase this photoshoot which will no doubt inspire followers of the fashion industry this season. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Monochrome Fashion:** The use of monochromatic color schemes in fashion shoots opens up opportunities for innovative use of lighting and shadows. - **Minimalist Makeup:** Minimalist makeup trends will soon challenge the cosmetic industry to develop makeup products that enhance natural beauty without being too obvious. - **Sleek Hairstyles:** The return of sleek, minimalist hairstyles provides opportunities for hair care and styling product innovation. ### Where This Applies - **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. - **Cosmetics:** The rise in minimalist makeup trends will challenge cosmetics manufacturers to develop more subtle and natural-looking products. - **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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Stealthy Modern Monochromatic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md)
