# 50s Paint-Splattered Fashion The 'Brooklyn Gang' Ponytail Magazine Spread Gets Colorful By Zoe Badley | Published 2010-07-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-gang-ponytail-magazine References: [ponytailmagazine](http://www.ponytailmagazine.com/fashion/brooklyngang/) & [ponytailmagazine](http://www.ponytailmagazine.com/) The word "love" hardly expresses how much I adore the 'Brooklyn Gang' Ponytail Magazine spread. This publication always knows how to spice up an editorial. Male models Lyle Lodwich, Marlon Teixeira and Taylor Fuchs are styled to perfection with the help of Christian Stroble. The editorial features the men looking super-sharp in [50s-inspired fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles). With bowler hats, straight-legged trousers, trench coats, plaid and a whole lot of color, these looks hot, to say the least. Check out the gallery for more sensational shots by photographer Christian Anwander. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 33% | 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) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Fashion:** Opportunity to create new lines of clothing inspired by vintage fashion trends. - **Gender-fluid Fashion:** Opportunity to break down gender norms in fashion by creating unisex clothing lines. - **Expressive Clothing:** Opportunity to incorporate bright colors and unique patterns to create bold and unconventional garment designs. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion retailers to offer consumers retro and gender-fluid clothing options. - **Photography:** Opportunity to showcase retro and colorful clothing in a unique and creative way. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity to promote fashion brands through visually striking and unconventional campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Golden-Age Hollywood-Inspired Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Retro Nightclub-Themed Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-jeffrey-loverboy-1.md) - [Culturally Backed Fashion Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brigade.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Palm Beach-Inspired Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-stuff.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md)
