Her images reference [Salvador Dali's paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dal-collection), mixing symbolism with the [surreal, geometric patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dali-x-casetify) and simplistic colors to allude to imaginative stories. Women wrapped in hair and stacked with clothes, jewelry, belts, and bags dance across [staged studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks), balancing props of disco balls and chains. **Implications** - Fashion is growing increasingly abstract daily, with the influence of innovators like Lady Gaga instilling a sense of bravery into consumers and couturiers alike. Thus, all facets of the fashion industry are injecting themselves with extravagant creativity, with this photo shoot serving as an example. Simple and sleek will no longer stand out in the fashion industry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Abstract Fashion:** The fashion industry is embracing abstract and avant-garde styles, influenced by innovators like Lady Gaga, creating new opportunities for designers to push creative boundaries. - **Surreal Imagery:** The use of surreal imagery in fashion photography, inspired by artists like Salvador Dali, opens up possibilities for storytelling and unorthodox visuals in advertising and marketing campaigns. - **Mixing Symbolism and Fashion:** The merging of symbolism and fashion allows for deeper meaning and storytelling through clothing, presenting brands with opportunities to connect with consumers on a more emotional level. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can capitalize on the trend of abstract and avant-garde fashion by creating unconventional and visually striking clothing designs. - **Photography:** Fashion photographers can explore the use of surreal and imaginative imagery in their work to create captivating visuals for advertising and editorial campaigns. - **Advertising & Marketing:** The use of symbolic and visually striking imagery in fashion advertising and marketing campaigns can help brands stand out and connect with their target audience on a deeper level. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contemporary Fashion Retrospectives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-by-demna.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Whimsical High-Fashion Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Stylish City-Inspired Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md)
