# Tribal Disco Editorials Tina J Sparks a Heat Wave in Elle Singapore June 2011 By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2011-05-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elle-singapore-june-2011 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/tina-joel-lim-elle-singapore-june-2011/) & [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/ELLE-Singapore/182343251791058) [Heat Wave](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinted-lip-30-spf-moisturizing-lip-balms) in Elle Singapore June 2011 is a retro-modern editorial that channels the best of 70s and 80s disco fashion with a tribal edge. Model Tina J is absolutely captivating in each image; her flawless ebony skin, expressive face and mile-long legs set off each outfit beautifully. Fashion editor Daphne Chen styled the shoot for photographer Joel Lim, opting for brightly hued pieces from [Fendi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-ss24), [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection) and Jil Sander. My favorite look is the printed blue one-shouldered bikini, which Chen paired with a vibrant turban, peach nails and peach stiletto sandals. The hair in Heat Wave in Elle Singapore June 2011 was done by Kenneth Ong; it ranges from mohawks to short Afros and a closely cropped cut. Ginger Lynette was behind the editorial's makeup, opting for a brightly colored lip and relatively muted eye makeup. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Tribal-inspired Fashion:** There is an opportunity to create a new line of clothing that combines tribal patterns and disco-inspired fashion to appeal to consumers who want to stand out from the crowd. - **Brightly Hued Accessories:** Designers can capitalize on the popularity of brightly hued accessories by creating collections of shoes, bags, and jewelry that incorporate bold colors and prints to complement a variety of outfits. - **Afro-centric Hairstyles:** Hair salons can offer a range of Afro-centric hairstyles as an alternative to traditional hair styles that may appeal to consumers who want to explore new looks while embracing their natural hair texture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can create new lines of clothing and accessories that incorporate tribal-inspired designs and bright colors to appeal to consumers who want to stand out from the crowd. - **Beauty:** Beauty salons can offer Afro-centric hairstyles as an alternative to traditional hair styles that may appeal to consumers who want to explore new looks while embracing their natural hair texture. - **Photography:** Professional photographers can offer retro-inspired photo shoots for clients who want to capture the 70s and 80s disco fashion aesthetic with a tribal edge. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dreamy Summer Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Island-Inspired Summer Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Collaborative Luxe Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty.md) - [Print-Focused Swim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta.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)
