# Tool-Toting Editorials Smart Tools for China Vogue 04/14 Incorporates Sharp Devices By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-03-17 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/china-vogue References: [fashioncow](http://fashioncow.com/2014/03/ming-xi-smart-tools-marcus-ohlsson-vogue-china-april-2014/) & [vogue.cn](http://www.vogue.com.cn/) Ming Xi looks both beautiful and dangerous in the editorial titled Smart Tools for [China Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models) 04/14. The shoot is done by Marcus Ohlsson, who accomplishes quite the avant-garde look by throwing in devices not normally associated with fashion. The tools give the editorial an industrial look, as Ming Xi poses with metal tweezers, scissors and more indiscernible metal contraptions. However, no matter what the accompanying material, Xi looks fierce in every single shot. Fredrik Stambro is responsible for the makeup in the editorial, which consists of mostly neutral colors apart from a [bold red lip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) in one of the images. China Vogue surpasses its standards in this latest Smart Tools shoot for April 2014. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Industrial Fashion:** The integration of industrial tools and materials into fashion creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in clothing design and production. - **Utility Aesthetic:** The use of functional tools as fashion accessories creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the accessories industry. - **Avant-garde Beauty:** The incorporation of unexpected tools and materials in beauty shoots creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the beauty industry. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** The integration of industrial tools and materials into fashion creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in clothing design and production. - **Accessories Industry:** The use of functional tools as fashion accessories creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the accessories industry. - **Beauty Industry:** The incorporation of unexpected tools and materials in beauty shoots creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the beauty industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Book-Shaped Toolkits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hot-girl-toolkit.md) - [High-End Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton-campaign.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Concept Eyewear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1.md)
