Model Diana Moldovan has a serious case of windswept hair, which adds a touch of nature, whimsy and movement to the editorial. Lensed by Tony Kim, a Korean American photographer based in New York and Paris, the ELLE Germany Top-Modern editorial appears in the magazine's April 2012 issue. The Romanian beauty was styled by Kathrin Seidel. Seidel pulled [minimalist spring pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025) from the racks of such designers as Balenciaga, Hugo Boss and Celine. Her wildly tousled locks by hairstylist Shlomi provide a nice contrast to the polished looks, which have been complemented with a flawless face by makeup artist Jodie Boland. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Windswept Photography:** Explore the use of wind as a creative element in photography to add movement and whimsy to editorials. - **Minimalist Fashion:** Embrace minimalist fashion pieces from high-end designers for a polished and sleek look. - **Naturalistic Beauty:** Integrate naturally tousled hair and flawless makeup for a fresh and effortless beauty aesthetic. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Photography:** Fashion photographers can experiment with capturing the effects of wind in their shoots for a unique and dynamic visual. - **High-end Fashion:** High-end fashion brands can showcase their minimalist designs in editorial spreads to attract a sleek and sophisticated audience. - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Beauty brands can focus on creating products and looks that enhance natural beauty and effortless style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Modern-Day Travel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernday-travel.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md)
