# Sculpturally-Cut Swimsuits The ELLE Mexico 'Ready for a Swim' Editorial Stars Farah Holt By Meghan Young | Published 2013-05-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elle-mexico-ready-for-a-swim References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/farah-holt-is-sexy-in-swim-for-hannah-khymych-in-elle-mexico-may-2013/) & [quien](http://www.quien.com/especiales/2012/elle-mexico-disena-2013) Model Farah Holt might as well be a reincarnation of actress Farrah Fawcet in the ELLE Mexico 'Ready for a Swim' editorial. The blonde beauty channels the late celebrity's glory days in a '70s-inspired photoshoot complete with voluminous feathered hair courtesy of Yukiko Tajima. Although some people will feel like they are seeing a ghost, others will be too preoccupied with the [sculptural swimsuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyler-mcgillivary-3) to give her look a second thought. The ELLE Mexico 'Ready for a Swim' editorial showcases [skin-revealing designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection) from the likes of Herve Leger, Eres and Alexander Wang. Styled by Connie Berg, the photoshoot was shot in studio by photographer Hannah Khymych. It appears in the May 2013 issue of the magazine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sculpturally-cut Swimwear:** Opportunity for innovative designers to explore unique cuts and shapes in swimsuits. - **70s-inspired Fashion:** The 70s resurgence in fashion offers a disruptive opportunity for designers to create new and exciting takes on retro styles. - **Editorial Fashion:** The use of editorial fashion photoshoots provide opportunities for fashion designers and brands to showcase their latest collections in unique ways. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry could leverage these trends to develop new collections and market them to a broad audience. - **Photography Industry:** The photography industry could explore new and creative ways to showcase fashion editorial shoots. - **Swimwear Industry:** The swimwear industry could capitalize on the interest in sculptural cuts to offer unique designs that stand out from the crowd. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Versatile Sleek Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandy-del-mar.md) - [Frilly Feminine Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunza-g.md) - [Collaborative Luxe Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Swimwear Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformations-second-swim-drop.md) - [Wellness Focused Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle.md) - [Celebrity Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swim-line.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md) - [Limited-Edition Swimwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/same-x-fwrd.md) - [Enchanting Mediterranean Swim Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-del-sol-collection.md)
