# Grayscale Desert Editorials The D Magazine November 2012 Photoshoot Tells a Romantic Tale By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/d-magazine-november-2012 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/stephan-wurth-lenses-black-and-white-romance-for-d-magazine-november-2012/) & [d.repubblica.it](http://d.repubblica.it/) Shot on location in the desert, the D Magazine November 2012 editorial tells the romantic tale of two lovers stranded in the middle of nowhere with nothing but themselves for comfort. Titled "Il mio cuore è ruvido," which means "My heart is rough" in Italian, the setting is amazingly appropriate as well as scenic. The gritty sands is a metaphor for the love shared between the two. The D Magazine November 2012 editorial was lensed by photographer Stephan Würth. It stars model Cassandra Smith alongside male model Kevin Freed. Both were outfitted by stylist Carlo Alberto Pregnolato, who put together a wardrobe featuring an eclectic mix of furs and prints. The featured labels include Fendi, Miu Miu, Prada, Gucci and Max & Co. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Desert Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore market opportunities for desert-inspired clothing and accessories for both male and female. - **Romantic Photography:** Photography industry can innovate romantic and story-telling shoots with unique backdrops and settings. - **Multicultural Styling:** Fashion stylists can experiment with multicultural looks by combining different fashion brands and prints. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Explore market opportunities for desert-inspired clothing and accessories for both male and female. - **Photography:** Innovate romantic and story-telling shoots with unique backdrops and settings. - **Fashion Styling:** Experiment with multicultural looks by combining different fashion brands and prints. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Demure Desert Landscape Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-collection-by-monica-armani.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Atmospheric Desert Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byredo-desert-dawn.md)
