Since the heat is undeniable on that particular continent, it is only natural that outfits there would be suitable for summers in other parts of the world. Not to mention that African women's use of vibrant fabrics and exotic patterns would liven up any ensemble, be it for a day at the office or a Saturday stroll shopping. Shot by photographer Zlatimir Arakliev, the ELLE Bulgaria 'Rhytms of Africa' editorial is set to appear in the March 2013 issue of the magazine. It stars models Gloria P. and Dzhu Pi. They were both styled by Antonia Yordanova with finishing touches by hairstylist Kristina Topalova and makeup artist Slav. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **African-inspired Fashion:** Opportunities for incorporating vibrant fabrics and exotic patterns in high fashion and ready-to-wear clothing lines. - **Summer-ready Collections:** Innovation opportunities for lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for warm weather. - **International Fashion Collaborations:** Opportunities for brands to collaborate with African designers to bring diverse perspectives and styles to the fashion industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Bringing African-inspired fashion to the forefront of high fashion and ready-to-wear clothing. - **Beauty:** Creating makeup and hairstyling trends that complement African-inspired clothing. - **International Trade:** Promoting cross-cultural exchange through fashion industry collaborations between Africa and other parts of the world. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Silky Camouflage-Design Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisous-empire-collection.md) - [Authentic Fashion House Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springsummer-2024.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Joyous Spirit-Inspired Holiday Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opa-collection.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Island Print Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spice-island.md) - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md)
