Daria Khoroshavina idea for 'we are all of made of stars' came about from a vision she had for a shot "where the only source of light would be body paint glowing in black light." Khoroshavina's subjects are brightly illuminated with [swirls of neon colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-bulb) that do indeed look like distant stars and swirls of galaxies twinkling in the far reaches of space. The black light allows for the paint to be properly seen while at the same time mimicking the dark cold background of outer space. Daria Khoroshavina's [neon body paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hally-hair-1) photographs show us our connectedness with ourselves and the universe that surrounds us. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Body Paint Photography:** Opportunities include incorporating neon colors into other photography genres and experimenting with different ways to use black light. - **Cosmic Aesthetics:** There may be opportunities to create clothing, makeup, and home decor inspired by the vibrant colors and shapes found in outer space. - **Exploration of Self and the Universe:** The trend toward using art to explore personal identity and connection to the world may continue to grow and evolve. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Beauty:** There may be opportunities for makeup and clothing lines inspired by cosmic aesthetics. - **Photography and Art:** The use of body paint and black light in photography could expand beyond just recreating the look of outer space. - **Personal Growth and Wellness:** The trend toward art as a tool for introspection and personal growth may expand to include more unconventional mediums and aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stardust Museum Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kent-monkman-being-legendary.md) - [Luminous Galactic-Themed Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-couture.md) - [Immersive Space Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-the-light.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Glittery Powder Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starcrossed-dreams.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Cosmically Inspired Haircare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-nova-hair-care.md) - [Starry-Eyed Dichroic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starryeyed-dichroic-sculpture.md) - [Cosmically Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punk-stargonaut.md)
