Posing alongside model Robin Hölzken in all of their sketchy glory, these [pop art characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) add a playful and imaginative vibe to the photoshoot. The ELLE Belgium Art Power was shot by Brussels-based photographer Hicham Riad. The brunette beauty was styled by Anne Rabeux, who clad her in a feminine and colorful wardrobe that makes sure she isn't overshadowed by her creative co-stars.

Appearing in the June 2012 issue of the magazine, the looks were perfected by beauty artist Vasko Todorof who focused on easy and fresh hair and makeup. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Graffiti Fashion Editorials:** Graffiti art and illustrated characters can disrupt the traditional fashion editorial format and bring a playful and imaginative vibe to fashion photography. - **Pop Art-inspired Fashion:** Pop Art inspired fashion and illustrations can provide new opportunities for creative and artistic collaborations in the fashion industry. - **Casually Chic Summer Style:** Casual and colorful summer wardrobes can be a source of inspiration for fashion editorials and marketing campaigns. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion and apparel companies can explore new creativity and innovation opportunities by integrating graffiti art and pop art-inspired designs into their collections and marketing campaigns. - **Art and Illustration:** Graffiti artists, illustrators, and pop art creators can collaborate with fashion companies to create innovative and artistic editorials and designs. - **Photography and Creative Direction:** Photographers and creative directors can introduce new concepts and themes, such as graffiti art and pop art characters, to fashion editorials and photography projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel.md) - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Childlike Characters Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childlike-characters-art-exhibition.md) - [Graffiti Clog Collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slawn-crocs-classic-clog.md) - [Graffiti-Painted Homeware Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amour-collection.md) - [Character Art-Infused Leather Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moynat-x-kasing.md) - [Graffiti-Painted Beer Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1664-x-andre-saraiva.md) - [One-of-One Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeliza-3.md)
