# Disturbing Couture Editorials The Dansk 'Circus Humanus' Photoshoot Stars an Eerie Maria Bradley By Meghan Young | Published 2012-10-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dansk-circus-humanus References: [latestfashioneditorials](http://www.latestfashioneditorials.com/maria-bradley-by-aitken-jolly-for-dansk-fall-2012/) & [dansk](http://www.dansk.com/) The Dansk 'Circus Humanus' editorial is incredibly disturbing, in an [avant-garde](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) manner. The eerie captures set a creepy tone through the use of a bare, asylum-like room, [disproportionate couture pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir), disfiguring accessories and, of course, a fat naked man in the corner. Toying with a scary element for the month that plays host to Halloween, the photoshoot will set anyone's teeth on edge. Captured by photographer Aitken Jolly, the Dansk 'Circus Humanus' editorial is set to appear in the Fall 2012 issue of the magazine. It stars model Maria Bradley. The American beauty was styled by Anders Sølvsten Thomsen. Thomsen juxtaposed [feminine frocks with edgy accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) that turned them into something a lumbering zombie would wear. The looks were perfected with long black locks and bruised eyes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, 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 - **Avant-garde Fashion:** Explore avant-garde fashion trends that push boundaries and challenge traditional norms. - **Disruptive Photography:** Discover disruptive photography techniques that create eerie and unsettling visuals. - **Halloween-inspired Editorials:** Embrace the creepy and spooky trend of Halloween-inspired editorials for unique and attention-grabbing content. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on avant-garde designs and unconventional style elements to cater to a niche audience. - **Photography:** Photography professionals can explore disruptive techniques to create unique and attention-grabbing visuals that evoke emotions. - **Media and Publishing:** Media and publishing industries can leverage Halloween-inspired editorials to attract audience engagement and create memorable content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
