# Smoldering Soldierly Editorials Model Daphne Velghe Poses for Stylist France's April 2014 Magazine By M | Published 2014-04-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daphne-velghe References: [visualoptimism.blogspot](http://visualoptimism.blogspot.ca/2014/04/daphne-velghe-by-boris-ovini-for.html) & [stylist.fr](http://www.stylist.fr/) The french edition of Stylist Magazine recently shot brunette model Daphne Velghe in a [military-themed editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk) for its April 2014 issue. To complement the tough, military theme of the shoot, Velghe was dressed in army green olive toned coats, sheer white button-up blouses, bejeweled sailor hats and thigh-high black socks to mimic a soldier's tall boots. Velghe's heavy bottom and top-winged eyeliner and chiseled cheekbones gave her a more structured and masculine look. Her piercing blue eyes and fierce head tilt says it all: this is not a girl you want to pick a fight with. The set was kept minimal and [monochromatic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) to not take away focus from Velghe and the clothes with a simple white background and fold-up black film chair. My favorite accessory that Velghe wore were a pair of dissident meets high-fashion finger-less, white [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coco-mademoiselles) pearl gloves. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 18% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Military-themed Editorials:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create military-inspired fashion collections and accessories. - **Structural Makeup:** Opportunity for cosmetic brands to create products that enhance chiseled cheekbones and create a more masculine look. - **Monochromatic Sets:** Opportunity for photographers and stylists to use minimal and monochromatic backgrounds to highlight the subject and clothing. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can take inspiration from military aesthetics to design innovative collections. - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetic brands can develop products that help create a more structured and masculine appearance. - **Photography and Styling:** Photographers and stylists can explore minimal and monochromatic sets to enhance the visual impact of their work. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Artful Camo Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Military Jacket-Adorned Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-slim-dherms.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md)
