Taking a spin on the “paper bag princess” concept, the model was wrapped in [layers of newspaper as a dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection). Butterflies, cobwebs, [paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela) and candlelight gave the room a blue-ish hue that will give you goosebumps. The model, Ekaterina Kolyskina, seems right at home in the paradisiacal environment amongst the little flying pieces of art. Her movement in the video is slow and subtle until the quick pattering of the butterflies. It evokes a sense that in this imagined world she is the reigning queen. The photographs are in high contrast which gives every surface its own shadow—emphasizing lines and emotions. With beautiful take on butterfly fashion—the theme has been renewed in this soft and delicate show. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 31% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Butterfly Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to explore unique and creative ways of incorporating butterflies into their designs. - **Raw Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to experiment with unconventional and raw aesthetics in fashion photography. - **Metamorphosis as Inspiration:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore the transformative nature of metamorphosis as a concept for their creative projects. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in creating unique and avant-garde fashion pieces inspired by nature. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in capturing unconventional and emotionally impactful fashion photographs. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in exploring new concepts and themes for artistic and design projects, using metamorphosis as a source of inspiration. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Vibrant Butterfly Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyler-mcgillivary-2.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Insect-Inspired Technical Baggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection.md) - [Dynamic Shape-Shifting Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-dress.md) - [Transformative Furniture Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection-2.md) - [Biomimetic Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life.md) - [Exquisite AI-Designed Thrones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throne-design.md)
