# Shirt-Shielded Shoots The British GQ Lara Stone Feature Goes Bare Besides a Button-up By Regan Canie | Published 2011-09-23 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-gq-lara-stone References: [huffingtonpost](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/20/lara-stone-gq-october-2011_n_971523.html) & [gq](http://www.gq.com/) The British GQ Lara Stone pictorial is a racy reel of half-covered curves to help kick off the issue that also holds the [Men Of The Year](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters) honorees. As GQ's honored Woman of the Year, Stone graces the cover hugging a crisp, white, and presumably men's shirt, with an alluring and aloof come-hither stare. Shot by [famed photographer Mario Testino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles), the editorial inside the men's mag includes Stone wrapped in a fur stole and a barely there bathing suit while frolicking beachside. A black-and-white showy shadow shot is thrown in and it saves the spread from being too bawdy by adding some artsy Bardot-esque class. The Dutch model best known for her gorgeously gap-toothed grin is sure to rocket British GQ's readership ratings and blood pressures alike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 56% | 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) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Half-covered Curves:** The trend of featuring models in photoshoots that strategically expose only part of their bodies, creating a sense of allure and mystery. - **Fur Stoles and Barely There Bathing Suits:** The trend of using fur stoles and minimal swimwear in fashion editorials, creating a juxtaposition between luxury and minimalism. - **Artsy Bardot-esque Shots:** The trend of incorporating black-and-white, shadowy shots in fashion spreads, adding an artistic touch to the overall aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can embrace the trend of half-covered curves by designing clothing that strategically exposes certain body parts while maintaining a sense of modesty. - **Photography:** Photography studios can explore the trend of using fur stoles and minimal swimwear in their photoshoots, offering unique and visually striking images to their clients. - **Magazine Publishing:** Magazine publishers can incorporate artsy Bardot-esque shots in their fashion editorials, attracting readers with a sophisticated and artistic visual style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Multifaceted Swimsuit Cover Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-1.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Cross-Cultural Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models.md) - [Luxury Statement Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-eyewear-collection.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md)
