# Designer Mannequin Photography The Louis Vuitton by David Hughes Pictorial is Mannequin-Friendly By Allison Love | Published 2010-07-05 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hughes References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/32170/) & [fashiontography.blogspot](http://fashiontography.blogspot.com/2010/07/louis-vuitton-by-david-hughes.html) David Hughes has taken these pictures in celebration of the first [Louis Vuitton Maison](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-lego-christmas-display) store in London, England. The idea behind the pictures is that these mannequins represent some of Louis Vuitton's most famous and [iconic outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026). The outfits were selected by Katie Grand for David Hughes to photograph and I think the photo session went quite well. Seeing as his models weren't very picky about what they wear or how they model, I think David Hughes definitely got their best angles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Designer Mannequin Photography:** A trend towards using mannequins as models for photoshoots and advertisements for luxury brands - **Iconic Outfits Showcase:** Highlighting iconic outfits in creative and unique ways through photography and other forms of visual media - **Virtual Models:** The rise of using virtual models and CGI technology to showcase luxury fashion and accessories in a more dynamic and creative way ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Luxury Fashion:** Using creative and unique methods to showcase luxury fashion and accessories, from using mannequins as models to highlighting iconic outfits - **Photography:** Incorporating new trends and technologies in photography, such as using mannequins as models or incorporating virtual models into shoots - **Visual Media:** Pushing the boundaries in visual media to create more dynamic and creative representations of luxury brands and products ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Building Block Window Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-lego-christmas-display.md) - [Luxury Menswear Apparel Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuittons-soho-popup.md) - [Star Studded Luxury Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-studded.md) - [Architecturally Reimagined Luggage Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-trunk1.md) - [Architectural Luxury Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-x-frank-gehry.md) - [Culturally-Inspired Travel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-travel-campaign.md) - [High-End Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton-campaign.md) - [Consumer-Inspired Store Mannequins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-store-mannequins.md) - [Statement-Making High-Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtuosity-high-jewelry.md)
