Mikael Jansson shot the ads that include six photos and a video. In the video, rapper A$AP [Rocky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-blacked-out-collection) as well as models Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn, Eliza Cummings and Dylan Rieder are all featured. The stars of this DKNY Spring/Summer 2014 campaign laugh and smile breezily on location at Times Square. Intercut between the beautiful people smiling are shots of a classic yellow taxi cab being spray painted in multiple colors. While all of this is going down, a censored cut of A$AP Rocky’s big hit ‘Fashion Killer’ is playing in the background. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fashion-featured Ads:** Opportunity to create advertising campaigns that feature popular figures from the fashion industry, such as rappers and models. - **Colorful Fashion Campaigns:** Potential to develop fashion campaigns that embrace vibrant and unconventional colors, creating a visually stunning experience. - **Music-integrated Fashion Ads:** Possibility to create fashion advertisements that incorporate well-known songs, enhancing the overall impact and appeal. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore collaborations with popular figures in the music industry, offering unique and fresh marketing opportunities. - **Advertising:** Advertising agencies can leverage the trend of featuring rappers and models in their campaigns to attract attention and create engaging content. - **Music:** Music artists and producers have the chance to collaborate with fashion brands for advertising campaigns, increasing their exposure and reaching new audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Celebrity-Backed Luxury Menswear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-menswear-campaign.md) - [Rapper-Collaborative Artful Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyline-carpet.md) - [Sporty Fashion Spring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1000-back.md) - [Rapper-Debut Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blacked-out-collection.md) - [Music-Informed Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roc-nation-and-moncler.md) - [Dynamically Redesigned Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-blacked-out-collection.md) - [Gamified Fashion Customizations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dkny-x-fashionverse.md) - [Athlete Celebrity Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zne-collection.md)
