# Artfully Abstracted Editorials The Trashland Image Series by Bryan Huynh Defies Convention By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-01-21 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bryan-huynh References: [malemodelscene.net](http://www.malemodelscene.net/editorial/joe-collier-stephen-smith-bryan-huynh/) & [bryanhuynh](http://bryanhuynh.com/) Models Joe Collier and Stephen Smith star in the visually striking "Trashland" image series by photographer Bryan Huynh. The FM London model duo is outfitted by stylist Tomas C. Toth who dresses them in [colorful and texture enriched wardrobe picks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) from the likes of Katie Eary and other designer names. Photographer Bryan Huynh's "Trashland" portrait series super-imposes photo and art imagery and features an abstracted backdrop setting that is courtesy of designer Thomas Petherick. Blurring the lines between [fashion and abstract art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles), this conceptual image series defies tradition with its signature brand of [painting-infused photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela). While its images tell a cohesive story when displayed together, each of the editorial's singular shots stand alone as solitary pieces of visually striking and powerful art. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Blurred Fashion:** Exploring the convergence of fashion and abstract art through painting-infused photography. - **Abstracted Portraits:** Super-imposing photo and art imagery to create visually striking and powerful portraits. - **Texture Enriched Wardrobe:** Using wardrobe picks with vibrant colors and texture to enhance the overall visual impact of the images. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to collaborate with artists and photographers to create visually striking and unconventional fashion campaigns. - **Art:** Opportunity for artists to experiment with super-imposing photo and art imagery to create abstract and visually striking portraits. - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to explore the convergence of fashion and art and create unique and visually striking portraits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md)
