The model is captured along the exterior of a concrete mansion where she lays upon the railings and its massive staircases. The model looks dark and mysterious with her [smokey eyeshadow and rose-colored lips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign). The garments styled by Ciuchowe Love are full of [grey and black hues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport), and resemble a medieval-like style. She is well accessorized, and is captured sporting [spiky silver and colored chain necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnightblack-collection), cross earrings and black studded wristlets. The model’s hair is pulled back into a chic and tight ponytail with braided ends, and this gives her a fierce and aggressive look. Victoria Kochańska is an up-and-coming fashion photographer from Gdańsk, Japan. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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's Driving This Trend - **Medieval Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion retailers to explore medieval-inspired garments and accessories. - **Smokey Eye Makeup:** Opportunity for makeup brands to capitalize on the popularity of dark, smokey eye makeup. - **Braided Ponytails:** Opportunity for hair care companies to promote braided ponytail styles and products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Retail:** Retailers, particularly those selling women's clothing and accessories, can capitalize on the medieval-inspired garments and accessories in Dark Side. - **Makeup Industry:** Makeup companies can explore dark, smokey eye makeup and use this trend in their future product lines. - **Hair Care Industry:** Hair care companies can use the braided ponytail style trend from Dark Side in their marketing campaigns and product development. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Expressive Haircare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-in-color.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Concept Eyewear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md)
