# Demolished Car Editorials The Dazed & Confused 'Collision Course' Photoshoot Stars Julia Nobis By Meghan Young | Published 2013-11-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dazed-confused-collision-course References: [models](http://models.com/feed/?p=47312) & [dazeddigital](http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/17801/1/dazed-confused-december-2013-the-new-video-visionaries) In place of snowy backdrops for the holiday season, the Dazed & Confused 'Collision Course' editorial gets a little more creative without losing sight of the winter season. It uses piles of [white-painted cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gclass-past-ii-future) that have clearly not seen their best days. Yet they provide the perfect canvas for the [all-black ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) showcased throughout the photoshoot. Appearing in the December 2013 issue of the magazine, the Dazed & Confused 'Collision Course' editorial was shot by photographer Mikael Jansson. Edgy and chic, the looks are very [avant garde](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) with tube-like tops, leather harem pants and a Kenny McCormick-like parka. The looks were styled by Alastair McKimm and perfected by hair stylist Duffy and makeup artist Mark Carrasquillo. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Creative Photoshoots:** Using alternative backdrops, like piles of painted cars, allows for more visually striking and memorable editorials. - **Avant Garde Fashion:** Pushing boundaries with edgy and unexpected clothing choices creates unique and attention-grabbing fashion photoshoots. - **Collaborative Styling:** Collaboration between photographers, stylists, hair stylists, and makeup artists can lead to cohesive and standout fashion editorials. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands and magazines can incorporate alternative backdrops and avant garde styling to stand out and attract attention in a crowded industry. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with alternative backdrops and work collaboratively with stylists, hair stylists, and makeup artists to create unique and standout fashion editorials. - **Automotive:** Car companies or salvage yards can capitalize on trends in artistic uses of cars, such as using piled up painted cars for fashion editorials or for art installations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [Fashion Collaborative Toy Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschfs-hot-wheels.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Decayed Car Playsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-x-daniel-arsham.md) - [Rugged Modern Holiday Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesel-3.md) - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md)
