Creative director Karl Lagerfeld captured the notably relaxed scenes, pairing [couture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026) with a more laid back approach to fashion. A black and white filter made this Chanel campaign appear all the more striking. This dark touch was all that was needed to showcase the current collection, which includes striped dresses, long patterned coats and thin plaid patterns. While Chanel is known for its assortment of high end accessories, the label did away with [stilettos, espadrilles and high rise boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meet-every-moment). Instead, Bundchen roamed the streets sans soles, adding earthy elements to the series that will be unexpectedly delivered to Chanel fans. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Relaxed Fashion:** Opportunity for luxury fashion brands to embrace a more low-key and casual approach to their collections and campaigns. - **Barefoot Style:** Opportunity for footwear brands to explore minimalist designs to match the growing demand for being barefoot or wearing minimal shoes. - **Realistic Imagery:** Opportunity for brands to embrace more natural and realistic images of models and settings in their campaigns. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Luxury Fashion:** Luxury fashion brands can take advantage of the trend of relaxed fashion by incorporating more casual pieces into their collections and campaigns. - **Footwear:** Footwear brands have the opportunity to create minimalist designs that appeal to consumers who prefer to go barefoot or wear minimal shoes. - **Advertising/marketing:** The trend of realistic imagery provides opportunities for brands to showcase authenticity and relatability in their advertisements and marketing efforts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion Brand Christmas Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-winter-tale.md) - [Comfort-Focused Footwear Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-spring-2024-campaign.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Authentic Fashion House Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2024.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Modern-Day Travel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernday-travel.md) - [Quilted Jewelry Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coco-crush.md) - [Iconic Stylish Bag Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendis-summer-2025-campaign.md) - [Empowering Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-your-own-time.md)
