The C Magazine 'Wild Horses' editorial is a breath of fresh air. Multi-talented model Erin Wasson, who is not only a fashion designer in her own right but is also set to undertake her very first film role, is cast alongside two regal stallions as she strolls along the [seaside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer) either on her own two legs or with the help of her four-legged friends. The stunning scenery and nature-inspired activity complements the [bohemian outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) she dons for the photoshoot.

Captured by San Francisco-born, Philidelphia-raised and New York-based photographer Hilary Walsh, the C Magazine Wild Horses editorial is set on Rincon Beach.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Outdoor Photoshoots:** There is an opportunity to disrupt traditional indoor photoshoots by creating unique outdoor settings with nature-inspired activities.
- **Animal-centered Marketing:** Marketing campaigns centered around animals can create memorable and impactful visuals that resonate with consumers and leave a lasting impression.
- **Bohemian Fashion:** The bohemian fashion trend continues to be popular and presents an opportunity for brands to create unique designs that appeal to a free-spirited demographic.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can incorporate nature-inspired elements into their designs and photoshoots that create a sense of connection to the environment and resonate with consumers.
- **Photography and Film:** Photographers and filmmakers can think outside of the box and create unique outdoor settings and use animals in their creative projects to create a memorable and impactful visual experience.
- **Tourism Industry:** Destinations can attract tourists by using the natural beauty of their location and unique experiences, such as horseback riding on the beach, to create a memorable and enjoyable trip for travelers.
