The entire edition is dedicated to a look at womenswear, which is fitting with the 1930s and ‘40s fashions that have been heavily influencing designers for a few seasons. Model Anya Kasakova models throw-back looks with a modern twist for Dazed & Confused Japan. The editorial was photographed by Yasunari Kikuma and styled by Lotta Volkova for the fashion feature and cover shoot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Military Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create nostalgia-driven military-inspired collections for women. - **1930s and '40s-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to modernize retro styles that remain influential in contemporary fashion. - **Womenswear-centric Fashion Magazines:** Opportunity for publishers to highlight fashion trends through dedicated editions of women's fashion magazines. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Retail:** Retailers can benefit from stocking military-inspired retro fashion collections for women. - **Fashion Photography:** Photographers can experiment with 1930s and '40s-inspired fashion photography to create modern yet retro visuals for fashion brands. - **Publishing:** Publishers can experiment with dedicated editions focused on women's fashion to increase readership and drive revenue from advertisers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Spring-Ready Militaristic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpha-industries-2.md) - [Scrapbook-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform.md) - [Conceptual Memory-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Contemporary Military Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md)
